# Search Intent

`POST /data/v1/intent/search`

Returns a list of Intent Signals from ZoomInfo's data that meet the specified search criteria. It is required 
that every request include at least 1 and up to 50 intent topics in the request.

Intent data is online behavior-based activity across the internet that links prospective buyers (companies) to a topic.
Intent Signals are the way ZoomInfo tracks intent data and can be used to indicate recent content consumption for a specific
topic by employees at a company. Key terminology for Intent Signals includes:

* **Topic** - A business subject or technology area mapped to a curated collection of keywords and search terms. 
When companies research content containing these keywords, it generates intent signals that indicate their buying interest
* **Signal Score** - Indicates the level of a company's interest in a topic based on how recent content consumption 
compares to an historical baseline
* **Audience Strength** - Indicates the size of the group at the company that is conducting the research

Use Search Intent to find Intent Signals across all ZoomInfo companies. To find Intent Signals for a specific company, use the
[Enrich Intent](https://docs.zoominfo.com/zoominfoenterprise/reference/enrichinterface_enrichintent) endpoint.

Input parameters may require specific values. You can use the [Lookup Data](https://docs.zoominfo.com/zoominfoenterprise/reference/lookupinterface_lookup)
endpoint to retrieve the list of possible values.

With reference to ZoomInfo's [Credit Usage and Limits](https://docs.zoominfo.com/zoominfoenterprise/docs/credit-usage-and-limits), this endpoint does not
consume any credits, but each Intent Signal returned in the results is counted as a Record and a successful response
will count as a Request credit.
