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, size (e.g. 10,001+ employees), founded, organizationType (Public Company / …), specialties[], headquarters + 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[] for featured people when LinkedIn exposes them (guest pages usually return []). type stays the entity discriminator "company" — organizationType is the About "Type" field. 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 + size
• similarPages[] discovery graph (name/link)
• location{city,state,country} + headquarters string
• slogan + coverImage when enrich fills them
• employeeCount (headcount); employees[] featured people when exposed
• funding object when LinkedIn/Apify expose rounds — else null

Platform limits

Honest ceilings from the upstream platform surface — not Captapi bugs. Unexpected truncation here is usually the platform, not us.

• Guest /company/{slug}/ does not expose funding rounds or featured employee cards — funding and employees[] stay null/[] unless an enrich path fills them. ScrapeCreators often ships both.
• similarPages images are often omitted on guest HTML (name + link still return).
• Inline posts[] are not on this endpoint — use /v1/linkedin/company-posts.
• Apify input must be identifier:[slug]. Legacy company/url shapes could scrape the wrong company.

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).

curl "https://api.captapi.com/v1/linkedin/company?url=https%3A%2F%2Fca.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fshopify" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer capt_live_..."
# or: -H "x-api-key: capt_live_..."
