What a LinkedIn company scraper API does

The company page is the richest thing LinkedIn publishes to logged-out visitors, and it is the half that matters for B2B: how big a firm is, what industry LinkedIn files it under, where its head office is, which domain it points to.

That last field is the join key. Take the website off this row and hand it to the company profile or site contacts collector, and you have gone from a LinkedIn URL to a qualified, contactable record without touching a login.

What one company looks like

Every delivered company carries these fields. Nullable means the source did not publish it — the field stays empty instead of being guessed.

Field	Type	What it holds
`slug`	string	Company slug.
`name`	string	Company name.
`description`	string · nullable	About text (trimmed).
`website`	string · nullable	Company website.
`industry`	string · nullable	Industry as shown.
`employees`	integer · nullable	Employee count published on the page.
`followers`	integer · nullable	LinkedIn follower count.
`street`	string · nullable	HQ street.
`city`	string · nullable	HQ city.
`region`	string · nullable	HQ region/state.
`postal_code`	string · nullable	HQ postal code.
`country`	string · nullable	HQ country.
`logo`	string · nullable	Logo URL.
`url`	string	Company page URL.

Inputs

The whole request. Anything you leave out falls back to the default shown in the catalog.

Input	Type	Required	What it does
`companies`	array	yes	Company slugs (microsoft) or /company/ URLs, one per line.
`country`	string	no	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code — proxy exit geo and Google locale (gl). Omit for the default pool.
`max_results`	integer	no	How many companies to deliver at most (1–50). You pay only for delivered companies.

What people build with the LinkedIn company scraper API

Three shapes of work this endpoint was designed around.

Account scoring

CRM enrichment

Fill missing HQ, industry and domain fields from a LinkedIn URL.

Market mapping

Build a sector map with company size and location per row.

LinkedIn company scraper API versus rolling your own

The differences that actually cost time when you build this in-house.

	DIY scraper	This collector
Employee count	Estimated by a data vendor	What the company publishes on LinkedIn
Address	One free-text line	Street, city, region, postal code, country

Firmographics without a subscription

LinkedIn's Marketing Developer Platform returns organisation data for pages your authenticated user administers — built so a social tool can post on behalf of a page it was granted access to, not so anyone can look up companies. No approval tier turns it into a lookup service.

The commercial alternative is a B2B firmographics provider with verified headcount, revenue estimates and hierarchy, on an annual contract measured in thousands, with coverage best for larger companies in major markets. For the plain question — how big, what industry, where, what website — reading the public page at half a cent is proportionate, and company data sits largely outside personal-data law in a way profile data does not.

Limits, accuracy and the legal bit

Up to 50 companies per run. The headquarters address arrives pre-split into street, city, region, postal code and country, so territory logic is a query rather than a parsing exercise. Employee lists are not collected — this is the company page, not the people on it. Throughput is your plan's rate limit rather than anything about the collector: 60 requests/minute on pay-as-you-go, up to 1,200 on the top tier.

Read employees as a proxy rather than a headcount: it counts members who list the company as employer, so it undercounts in low-adoption industries and overcounts where leavers have not updated their profiles. It is nonetheless the most widely available company-size signal there is.

Collecting publicly visible data is generally lawful in most jurisdictions, and courts have repeatedly declined to treat reading a public page as unauthorised access. Company data is organisational rather than personal for the most part, though a one-person company's page effectively describes an individual. LinkedIn's terms restrict automated collection. None of this is legal advice — get some for your actual use case.

FAQ

Questions we get about the LinkedIn company scraper API.

Something else? Ask us →

Where does the employee count come from?

From the company's own LinkedIn page. It is the number LinkedIn shows, not a vendor estimate — and it counts LinkedIn members who list the company, which is usually close to but not identical to headcount.

Can I go from company to contacts?

Yes: take the website field and run site_contacts or company_profile on it.

Is there a free LinkedIn company scraper API?

Every account gets $2 of credit every month with no card, which is about 400 delivered companys on this endpoint at $0.005 each. It renews monthly, and a run that delivers nothing is never billed — so a failed or blocked attempt does not eat the allowance.

How much does one run cost?

Multiply the rows you actually receive by $0.005. A run capped at 50 companys — the maximum for this collector — costs $0.25 if every row comes back, and less when the source has fewer. Volume tiers take up to 30% off, and GET /v1/scraper/collectors returns the price your key actually pays.

How do I turn a company page into contact details?

Chain it: the website field feeds the company profile and site contacts collectors, which read what the company publishes on its own site. LinkedIn does not publish company email addresses.

Is the employee count a real headcount?

No — it is the number of LinkedIn members who list the company as their employer. Treat it as a size band rather than a figure. Its value is consistency across companies, which is what makes it usable for segmentation.
