Response
Returns an array of linkedin_company_result. This is the demo’s answer, the one the playground above returns, in full rather than abbreviated — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them. A call with your key returns the account you ask for.

}Fields of linkedin_company_result
A company in LinkedIn's company search. Named after the words LinkedIn prints, since LinkedIn has no official data API.
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
company_id | LinkedIn's numeric id for the company: linkedin/employees, linkedin/employee-stats, linkedin/jobs and linkedin/ads take it as company_id, and linkedin/people as a filter. |
vanity_name | The part after /company/ in the page URL. |
url | The company page. |
name | The company's name. |
industry | As the search prints it. |
location | As the search prints it. |
follower_count | null where LinkedIn prints a rounded number, such as "12K followers". |
summary | The line the search shows under the name. |
logo_url | The company's logo. |
What it costs
7 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 1 day and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.
On the smallest pack that is $5.46 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $3.08. The full table.
Questions
How much does the LinkedIn company search API cost?
7 credits a call: $5.46 per 1,000 calls on the smallest pack and $3.08 on the largest. A call that fails costs nothing, and the refund is automatic. A cached answer costs the same as a fresh one. Credits are bought in packs and never expire; there is no subscription.
Do I need a LinkedIn account, a login or cookies?
No. You need a key from us and nothing from LinkedIn. We never take a customer's login, cookies or session, at any price, and no account of yours is ever at risk.
Can I try it without signing up?
Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.
How fresh is the data?
An answer is kept for up to 1 day, and a cached one says when it was fetched, in meta.fetched_at. Add fresh=true to fetch it again now, at the same price; it needs any purchase, not the trial.
What does it return?
A list of linkedin_company_result objects. Its fields are named after the words LinkedIn prints, since LinkedIn has no official data API. A field is null when LinkedIn does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.
How do I get more than one page?
Pass meta.next_cursor back as cursor, and stop when it is null. Each page is a call, priced the same. A cursor lasts as long as the answer it belongs to is cached.
Can an AI agent call it?
Yes: it is the MCP tool search_linkedin_companies on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.
