> ## Agent Instructions
> Forager is a REST API for B2B people, company and job post data: contact lookups (phone numbers, personal emails, work emails), person, company and job post search, and bulk data feeds.
> Server: https://api-v2.forager.ai. Send the API key in the X-API-KEY header. Most paths include {account_id}. Read FORAGER_API_KEY and FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID from the environment; never put the key in client-side code, logs or prompts.
> To add Forager to a project, follow https://www.forager.ai/docs/guides/agent-quickstart.md. To pick an endpoint, read https://www.forager.ai/docs/guides/choose-an-endpoint.md. For end-to-end builds, see https://www.forager.ai/docs/recipes/overview.md.
> Most requests spend credits. Do not guess costs; use https://www.forager.ai/docs/api-overview/credit-pricing.md and ask the user before spending credits.
> Use only endpoints and fields defined in https://www.forager.ai/docs/openapi.yaml. Forager has no MCP server for the API yet; the /mcp endpoint on this site searches the documentation only.

# Job postings API: result totals

> Get the total number of matches for a job post event search.

## When to use this endpoint

You want to know how many job postings a job search would return before paging through results. The `totals` endpoint takes the same body as the search and returns only the count, so count first and page only through the matches you need.

## Example request

```bash cURL theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
curl -X POST "https://api-v2.forager.ai/api/$FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID/datastorage/job_search/totals/" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $FORAGER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "title": "Senior Data Engineer",
  "is_remote": true,
  "is_active": true
}'
```

Set `FORAGER_API_KEY` and `FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID` as in the [quickstart](https://www.forager.ai/docs/api-overview/send-your-first-request.md).

## Example response

```json 200 (illustrative values) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
{
  "total_search_results": 1
}
```

## Credits

The credit cost of this operation is not documented yet. See [API credits and pricing](https://www.forager.ai/docs/api-overview/credit-pricing.md).

  - name: Job Posts
    description: >-
      Search the Forager job-post index. Use these endpoints to find job
      postings by attributes such as title, location, posted date, or hiring
      organization, and to retrieve aggregate totals for a given query before
      paginating through full results.
  - name: Organizations
    description: >-
      Search the Forager organization index. Filter companies by attributes such
      as industry, headcount, location, keywords, and web technologies, and
      retrieve total match counts alongside the result set.
  - name: People
    description: >-
      Look up people and their records. Use the search endpoints to find people
      by role, employer, location, or skills, and the detail-lookup endpoints to
      fetch a full person record by ID, email, or phone number. Contact data has
      its own sections: Phones, Personal Emails, and Work Emails.
  - name: Phones
    description: >-
      Retrieve phone numbers for a known person. Provide identifying information
      (such as a LinkedIn handle or Forager ID) and get back the available phone
      numbers.
  - name: Personal Emails
    description: >-
      Retrieve personal email addresses for a known person. Returns addresses on
      free webmail / consumer providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Proton,
      and similar); corporate, educational, and other custom domains are
      excluded to keep deliverability high.
  - name: Work Emails
    description: >-
      Find and verify a person's work email address. Submit a lookup (single or
      bulk), poll the job for its result, and optionally receive the result by
      webhook when the job completes.
  - name: Websites
    description: >-
      Look up information about a website, including the organization that owns
      it and the technologies detected on the domain.
  - name: Users
    description: >-
      Manage your Forager account. Retrieve the current authenticated user,
      create and revoke API keys used to authenticate requests to the rest of
      the API, and review the credit balance-change log that records every
      lookup charge or adjustment against your account.
  - name: Autocomplete
    description: >-
      Resolve free-text input into the canonical IDs used elsewhere in the API.
      Each endpoint returns matching options for a search term (industries,
      organizations, organization keywords, locations, person skills, web
      technologies) so they can be passed as filters to the search endpoints.
  - name: Feedback
    description: >-
      Report verification feedback for contact data (phone numbers, personal
      emails, work emails) returned by Forager person lookups. Use these
      endpoints to submit whether a contact value is valid/invalid and whether
      it belongs to the matched person — every submission is stored as a new row
      and is used to improve the accuracy of future lookups.
