# Add Tasks

> Add LinkedIn Sales Navigator search URLs to scrape lead profiles

Add LinkedIn Sales Navigator search URLs to scrape lead profiles. This scraper requires a linked Sales Navigator account to access the data.

Copy the search URL directly from Sales Navigator after applying your filters (company size, seniority level, industry, location, etc.). The scraper will paginate through the search results automatically.

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Your API authentication token. Value: `Token YOUR_API_KEY`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Content-Type" type="string" required>
  Request body format. Value: `application/json`
</ParamField>
