LinkedIn Company API

What is the LinkedIn Company API?

Pass a LinkedIn company URL and get B2B-ready JSON: name, industry, description, website, followers, employeeCount (the headcount), founded, organizationType (Public Company / …), specialties[], location{city,state,country}, slogan, coverImage, logo, similarPages[{name,link,image}] (discovery graph — same pattern as profile similarProfiles), funding when upstream exposes rounds/investors, and employees[] only when LinkedIn exposes featured people (omitted when empty — not a roster of employeeCount). type stays the entity discriminator "company" — organizationType is the About "Type" field. There is no size display string ("10,001+ employees") and no headquarters twin of location{}. timings{nativeMs,enrichMs,totalMs} name which stage burned the seconds. Native guest HTML bills 1 credit; Apify enrich for slogan/cover (and rare funding) bills 2. Recent posts live on /linkedin/company-posts, not inlined here.

What you get

• specialties[] + organizationType + founded
• similarPages[] discovery graph (name/link)
• location{city,state,country} — no headquarters twin
• slogan + coverImage when enrich fills them
• employeeCount (headcount); employees[] only when featured people exist
• funding object when LinkedIn/Apify expose rounds — else null

Fill in the parameters below and copy a ready-to-run request, or open the live Playground to run it against your account (no API key paste).
