# Count a Sales Navigator Search for Free Before Exporting

**Use case:** 

Before buying a list, check its size: paste a Sales Navigator lead search URL and count mode returns how many people match, with no per-row charge and no Sales Navigator seat, login or cookies. The example, US Heads of Growth at 51–500-person companies, counted 1,278 people on 31 October 2026. Switch Mode to people to export the rows.

## FAQ

### Is counting a Sales Navigator search free?

Count mode in the Sales Navigator count task returns how many people match the search and charges nothing per row. Switch Mode to people to export them.

### Why count before exporting?

A count shows whether a search is too broad or too narrow before you pay for rows. The Sales Navigator count task lets you tune titles, region and headcount in Sales Navigator and recount for free.

### Which filters does the count use?

The Sales Navigator count task reads current company, current job title, region, industry, company headcount and keywords from the URL; any other filter stops the run and names it.

### Does the count need a Sales Navigator account?

The Sales Navigator count task only reads the URL you paste. It needs no seat, login or cookies, so a search built on a trial or a colleague's account can be counted the same way.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bsearch/sales-navigator-search.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
