# Prospects research (async)

## Description

The asynchronous variant of **Prospects Research**. It submits a custom, AI-powered research task over a dataset of prospects as a job, rather than returning results in the response.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How It Works">
    * **Input:** Provide prospect IDs plus either a natural-language `query` or a `prompt_template` and a caller-defined `output_schema`.
    * **Processing:** The job runs through the [async job infrastructure](/v2/async-jobs), optionally grounded in real-time web data.
    * **Output:** A job reference; poll [job status](/v2/jobs/get_job_status) for progress and results.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Best Practices">
    * **Use the async variant for long lists** — sync is capped per request, async allows up to 10,000 records.
    * **Keep `output_schema` tight** so results stay consistent and cheap to parse.
    * **Poll rather than re-submit** — resubmitting duplicates credit usage.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
