Search LinkedIn Companies

Find companies on LinkedIn by name, industry, location, and employee count. Returns structured company data: name, profileUrl, summary, industry, location, followersCount, logoUrl. To read a single result in more depth, pass its profileUrl to publicCompany, which adds the full description, follower and employee counts, the website, and recent posts. Detailed firmographics (headquarter address, founding year, specialities, verification status, call to action) are not available from either surface, so do not promise them.

Parameters

keywords (optional): Search terms matched against company name, description, and specialties

Keyword syntax (Boolean operators)

Keywords support LinkedIn Boolean search syntax:

Exact phrase: "artificial intelligence" — matches only that exact phrase
AND: fintech AND payments — both terms required (spaces default to AND)
OR: SaaS OR "cloud computing" — either term
NOT: consulting NOT staffing — exclude unwanted terms
Parentheses: (AI OR ML) AND healthcare — group logic

Operators must be UPPERCASE. Precedence: Quotes > Parentheses > NOT > AND > OR.

Available filters

Pass HUMAN LABELS for location / industry — the server resolves them to LinkedIn IDs via typeahead. Numeric IDs pass through unchanged if you already have them.

Filter	Type	Description
location	string[]	HQ geo labels (e.g. ["Paris","France"]) — resolved server-side

Request body

keywordsstring

Search keywords. Matches against company name, description, and specialties. Optional — you can search by filters alone. Supports LinkedIn Boolean syntax: use double quotes for exact phrases (e.g. "artificial intelligence"), AND to require both terms, OR for alternatives (e.g. SaaS OR "cloud computing"), NOT to exclude (e.g. consulting NOT staffing), and parentheses to group (e.g. (AI OR ML) AND healthcare). Operators must be UPPERCASE.

urlstring

Optional LinkedIn search URL. If provided, keywords and filters are extracted from the URL. Explicit params override URL-derived values.

locationstring[]

Filter by company HQ location. Pass human labels (e.g. ['Paris','France']) — server resolves to LinkedIn geo IDs via typeahead. Numeric IDs pass through if you already have them.

industrystring[]

Filter by company industry. Pass human labels (e.g. ['Software Development']) — server resolves to LinkedIn industry IDs via typeahead. Numeric IDs pass through if you already have them.

companySizestring[]

Filter by employee count, several bands allowed and combined as OR. Pass a human employee range and it is converted for you, which is the safer form: the underlying codes are A=1, B=2-10, C=11-50, D=51-200, E=201-500, F=501-1000, G=1001-5000, H=5001-10000, I=10001+, and passing the wrong letter searches the wrong band silently rather than failing.

startinteger

Pagination offset (default 0). Use multiples of count to page through results.

countinteger

Results per page (default 10, max 50).

Response
