Get acquisitions saved search results
Returns the acquisitions matching a saved acquisitions search.
What you need
An acquisitions saved-search ID shared with the API; get one from Get all saved searches, or check counts first with Get acquisitions saved search.
Behaviour
- Each item is the same acquisition object Get acquisitions by date returns, so it parses identically.
- The saved search must be shared with the API (via “Share to API”) or be a global search curated by Specter.
- Set
new_results_afterto a timestamp to return only the deals added to the search since then — pass back the timestamp of your last read to poll for what is new. It must be within the last 60 days. - Must be a acquisitions search, otherwise
400withNOT_SUPPORTED_PRODUCT. searchIdmust be a number, otherwise400(BAD_SEARCH_ID_TYPE); returns404if the search doesn’t exist.- A search that matches nothing returns
200with an empty array, and is not charged.
