Extract sales navigator search
Extract a Sales Navigator search that is bigger than one extraction can hold: count it, split it under the cap, merge the pieces back to the fewest searches, and load them into a handful of models, for accounts (1,000 per search) or people (2,500 per search).

Counting is cheap; extraction is the bill. A 50,000-account market costs a few hundred count calls and ~10,000 credits of extraction. People models run three times, and each run bills the rows it returns, so budget up to three times the count for people until the sample below shows what a re-run actually bills.
Never run this across a full list on the first attempt. Run steps 1–4 (counting only), then extract one small search (a few hundred rows) to confirm the URLs extract as counted. Show the user the number of searches, models and expected rows with the credit estimate, and get the go before the full step 5.
Worth knowing #
- Workspace limits are separate from the per-search cap. A workspace has a rolling 24-hour allowance of Sales Navigator search requests, shared by counts and extraction pages (~25 rows a page). A model that hits it errors and keeps only its preview; a rerun starts over. Before a large run, estimate the requests (one per count, one per ~25 extracted rows, times three for people) and ask Cargo to confirm or raise the allowance.
- An error saves nothing. Extraction is all or nothing per model run, so smaller models lose less when something breaks.
number_employeeson an extracted account is the page’s own label, not the headcount Sales Navigator filtered on. Re-measure size downstream if it matters.- A union never exceeds its parts. That is what makes packing by sum safe without re-counting every candidate merge; step 4 re-counts the winners.
