Example: Tracking Job Postings

This guide walks through two real-world scenarios. Every code block is ready to copy, paste, and run — just replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key.

Company First: Track OpenAI
Signal First: Discover AI Hiring

Scenario: Monitor when OpenAI posts new jobs

You want to know immediately when OpenAI posts job openings — and automatically get contact details for their engineering leadership.

Create the monitor

curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/monitors/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "pubrio-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name": "OpenAI Job Tracker",
    "detection_mode": "company_first",
    "signal_types": ["jobs"],
    "signal_filters": [
      {
        "signal_type": "jobs",
        "filters": {
          "locations": ["US"]
        }
      }
    ],
    "companies": [
      "67c4696b-b7b0-46b5-b2af-9f434543661e"
    ],
    "is_company_enrichment": true,
    "is_people_enrichment": true,
    "people_enrichment_configs": [
      {
        "max_people_to_return": 5,
        "people_contact_types": ["email-work"],
        "filters": {
          "management_levels": ["director", "vp"],
          "departments": ["master_engineering"]
        }
      }
    ],
    "destination_type": "webhook",
    "destination_config": {
      "webhook_url": "https://usewebhook.com/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-secret-token"
      }
    },
    "max_records_per_trigger": 5,
    "profile_id": 1
  }'

What this does:

Monitors OpenAI (companies: ["67c4696b-..."]) for new US-based job postings
Enriches company data and finds up to 5 Director/VP-level Engineering contacts
Delivers up to 5 records per trigger to your webhook
All other settings use sensible defaults (real-time frequency, 500 daily cap, etc.)

For company_first mode, you typically only need companies (or domains / linkedin_urls) and signal filters. company_filters is optional — it adds a second filtering layer when you want to combine a watch list with broader company criteria.

Test it immediately

Do not wait for the scheduled scan — trigger a manual run to verify everything works. Include tried_at with a past timestamp to ensure there is data available (using the current time may return 0 results if no new signals have appeared yet):

curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/monitors/process/try \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "pubrio-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "monitor_id": "YOUR_MONITOR_ID",
    "tried_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "profile_id": 1
  }'

Manual triggers consume credits just like scheduled triggers. Use tried_at with a recent past date to get a representative sample of results for testing.

Check the results

After a few seconds, check your webhook URL at usewebhook.com to see the payload. You can also verify via the logs:

curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/monitors/statistics/logs \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "pubrio-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "profile_id": 1,
    "monitor_id": "YOUR_MONITOR_ID",
    "page": 1,
    "per_page": 5
  }'

Each log entry shows the status, signal/company/people counts, credit usage, and processing time.

Scenario: Discover companies hiring for AI/ML roles

You want to find companies actively building AI teams — regardless of whether you have tracked them before. This is a prospecting use case.

Create the monitor

curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/monitors/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "pubrio-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name": "AI Hiring Discovery",
    "detection_mode": "signal_first",
    "signal_types": ["jobs"],
    "signal_filters": [
      {
        "signal_type": "jobs",
        "filters": {
          "titles": ["Machine Learning", "AI Engineer", "Data Scientist"],
          "locations": ["US"]
        }
      }
    ],
    "company_filters": {
      "employees": [[201, 500], [501, 1000], [1001, 5000]]
    },
    "is_company_enrichment": true,
    "is_people_enrichment": true,
    "people_enrichment_configs": [
      {
        "max_people_to_return": 3,
        "people_contact_types": ["email-work"],
        "filters": {
          "management_levels": ["founder", "c_suite", "vp"]
        }
      }
    ],
    "destination_type": "webhook",
    "destination_config": {
      "webhook_url": "https://usewebhook.com/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID",
      "body": {
        "pipeline": "ai-prospecting"
      }
    },
    "max_records_per_trigger": 10,
    "profile_id": 1
  }'

What this does:

Scans for AI/ML job postings across the US
Global company filters narrow results to mid-size companies (201-5,000 employees) — this is the power of combining signals with company criteria
Enriches companies and finds up to 3 founder/C-suite/VP contacts
Adds a custom pipeline field to payloads for routing in your webhook handler
Real-time frequency by default

Test it immediately

curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/monitors/process/try \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "pubrio-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "monitor_id": "YOUR_MONITOR_ID",
    "tried_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "profile_id": 1
  }'

Manual triggers consume credits. Use tried_at with a recent past date to get representative data for testing — using the current time may return 0 results if no new signals have appeared in that instant.

What you receive

Check usewebhook.com — you will see a signal_first payload with signals as the primary structure. Notice the custom pipeline field at the root from your destination_config.body:

{
  "monitor": { ... },
  "metadata": {
    "total_signals": 5,
    "total_companies": 4,
    "total_people": 10
  },
  "triggered_at": "2026-04-06T14:30:00.000Z",
  "signals": [
    {
      "signal_type": "jobs",
      "signal": { ... },
      "companies": [
        {
          "company_name": "...",
          "domain": "...",
          "company_size": 800,
          "people": [...],
          ...
        }
      ]
    },
    ...
  ],
  "pipeline": "ai-prospecting"
}

Retrying a Failed Delivery

If a specific trigger failed (e.g., your webhook was temporarily down), retry it without re-running the entire scan:

curl -X POST https://api.pubrio.com/monitors/process/retry \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "pubrio-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "monitor_id": "YOUR_MONITOR_ID",
    "monitor_log_id": "THE_FAILED_LOG_ID",
    "profile_id": 1
  }'

Find the monitor_log_id by querying Statistic Logs and filtering for entries with "status": "failed".
