## Example

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.mindcase.co/v1/data/linkedin/posts/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"params":{}}'
```

```python
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.mindcase.co/v1/data/linkedin/posts/run",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"params": {}},
)
data = resp.json()
```

## Get the results

`run` is async and returns a `job_id`. Poll until `status` is `completed`, then read the rows:

```bash
# 1) check status
curl https://api.mindcase.co/v1/jobs/JOB_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"

# 2) when status == completed, fetch the rows
curl https://api.mindcase.co/v1/jobs/JOB_ID/results \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
```
