## Query parameters

- `account_id` string, required

## Request body

- IcpRequestV1
  - `data` object, required
    - `type` 'icp', required — The type of the object
    - `attributes` object, required
      - `name` string, required — The human-readable name of the ICP
      - `filters` object, required — Company-level filter criteria that define the ICP, grouped by category. At least one category must be present and non-empty. Omit a category rather than sending it empty.
        - `employee_count` object[] — Employee count range filters.
          - `search_value` '1-2' | '3-10' | '11-50' | '51-200' | '201-500' | '501-1000' | '1001-5000' | '5001-10000' | '10001', required — An employee count bucket. "10001" means "10000+".
          - `display_value` string — Human-readable label for the value. Defaults to `search_value` when omitted.
          - `negated` boolean — When true, the filter excludes rather than includes companies in this bucket.
        - `industries` object[] — Industry filters.
          - `search_value` string, required — A LinkedIn v2 industry id, e.g. "1594_6_4" for Software Development. Look one up rather than guessing.
          - `display_value` string — Human-readable label for the industry. Defaults to `search_value` when omitted.
          - `negated` boolean — When true, the filter excludes rather than includes companies in this industry.
        - `location` object[] — Location filters.
          - `search_value` string, required — The place to match, in the form the entry's `type` expects.
          - `type` 'country_code' | 'continent' | 'region' | 'world_region' — What kind of place `search_value` names. `country_code` takes an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. "US"). `continent` takes one of `asia`, `north_america`, `africa`, `europe`, `south_america`, `antarctica`, `australia`. `world_region` takes one of `africa`, `latam`, `emea`, `amer`, `dach`, `apac`. `region` takes a state or province name.
          - `display_value` string — Human-readable label for the place. Defaults to `search_value` when omitted.
          - `negated` boolean — When true, the filter excludes rather than includes companies in this place.

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad Request
- `401` — Unauthorized. The request was rejected because the credentials are missing, invalid, expired, or have been revoked. The client must re-authenticate before retrying. Clients can differentiate via the `code` value of the first item in `errors`.
- `403` — Forbidden. The credentials are valid but the caller is not authorized to perform the request — typically because the user lacks the required permission, the OAuth scope is insufficient, the subscription plan does not include the required entitlement, the `account_id` does not belong to the authenticated user, or the target list is read-only and its members cannot be modified. Clients can differentiate via the `code` value of the first item in `errors`.
- `422` — Unprocessable entity
- `429` — Too many requests. Either the per-second rate limit or the monthly quota configured for the API key / OAuth application has been exceeded. Clients can differentiate via the `code` value of the first item in `errors`.
- `500` — Internal server error
- `504` — Server timeout
