Sessions

Some data only exists behind a login. A session lets an extraction run authenticated — managed by us, or your own.

Managed sessions are created, warmed, and rotated by AuraCrawl. Bring-your-own sessions let you supply a logged-in session so the extraction runs as that identity.

Managed session

{ "connector": "linkedin", "type": "managed" }

Bring your own

{
  "connector": "linkedin",
  "type": "byo",
  "credentials": { "cookies": [ { "name": "li_at", "value": "…" } ] }
}

The response returns a session id you pass into an extraction. Credentials are write-only — encrypted at rest and never returned by the API. With a bring-your-own session, the account and its terms are yours; AuraCrawl simply executes with the session you provide.
