## Pricing

from $0.70 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## LinkedIn Company Search — Find Company Pages by Name | No Login

Find LinkedIn company pages by name or keyword — discover company URLs, descriptions, and logos. No login, no cookies, zero ban risk.

**No LinkedIn account needed | 4 search patterns | Multi-country support**

Free Apify accounts receive 100 starter results shared across all eight Actors. The private links in `SUPPORTER_ACCESS` let a user submit honest feedback for 500 additional results valid for 30 days, or report a reproducible bug for 500 additional results after bug confirmation. No public review or positive feedback is required. Any paid Apify plan is uncapped by this internal result allowance; normal Apify platform and Actor charges still apply.

> **Not a scraper.** We use X-ray search to find company pages through publicly indexed data. We never touch LinkedIn's servers.

### How to Find LinkedIn Company Profiles by Name

Enter a company name or keyword and get matching LinkedIn company pages in seconds. Works for exact company lookups ("OpenAI") or broader discovery ("AI startup", "fintech London").

1. Enter company name or keyword
2. Choose search pattern (1 = strictest, 4 = broadest)
3. Optionally filter by country
4. Get company pages with URL, name, description, and logo

***

### What You Get

Each result returns structured JSON:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `url` | string | Full LinkedIn company page URL |
| `name` | string | Company name as shown on LinkedIn |
| `headline` | string | Company description or tagline |
| `photoUrl` | string | Company logo URL |

***

### LinkedIn Company Search Patterns

| Pattern | Query Style | Best For |
|---------|-------------|----------|
| 1 | Strict — exact keyword in title | Finding a specific company |
| 2 | Moderate — keyword in title | Slightly broader |
| 3 | Broad — phrase match | More results |
| 4 (default) | Broadest — keyword match | Maximum discovery |

**Pattern 4** is the default — best for discovering companies. Use **Pattern 1** when you know the exact company name.

***

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `keyword` | string | Yes | — | Company name or search term |
| `companyPattern` | string | No | `"4"` | Search pattern (1-4) |
| `companyCountries` | string | No | `""` | Comma-separated country codes |
| `companyMaxResults` | integer | No | `10` | Max results per country (1-100) |
| `loadAll` | boolean | No | `false` | Auto-paginate all results |

- **Retry with backoff** — Transient failures retried automatically.
- **Stable infrastructure** — Not dependent on LinkedIn's page structure.

***

### API Integration

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("your_api_token")
run = client.actor("aeonkosmos/linkedin-company-search").call(run_input={
    "keyword": "fintech",
    "companyCountries": "us, uk",
    "companyMaxResults": 50
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['name']} — {item['url']}")
```

#### JavaScript

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'your_api_token' });
const run = await client.actor('aeonkosmos/linkedin-company-search').call({
    keyword: 'fintech',
    companyCountries: 'us, uk',
    companyMaxResults: 50
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/aeonkosmos~linkedin-company-search/runs" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_token" \
  -d '{"keyword":"fintech","companyCountries":"us, uk","companyMaxResults":50}'
```

***

### Tips for Best Results

1. **Use Pattern 1 for exact lookups** — when you know the company name
2. **Use Pattern 4 for discovery** — when exploring an industry
3. **Multi-country catches regional offices** — same company may have different pages per country
4. **Combine with employee search** — find the company page first, then search for employees

***

### Limitations (Honest)

- **May include similarly named companies** — manual verification recommended for common keywords
- **Maximum 100 results per search** — infrastructure limit
- **Returns company page URL + basic info only** — not full company data (employees count, revenue, etc.)
- Results come from publicly indexed data — very new company pages may not appear yet

***

### FAQ

**Q: How do I find a LinkedIn company profile by name?**
A: Enter the company name as the keyword and use Pattern 1 (strict) for the most precise match. The tool returns the LinkedIn company page URL along with the name, description, and logo.

**Q: Can I search for companies without a LinkedIn account?**
A: Yes — no LinkedIn account, cookies, or login needed. The tool finds company pages through publicly indexed data.

**Q: What's the difference between this and LinkedIn's company search?**
A: This tool gives you structured JSON output via API, supports multi-country search with automatic deduplication, and doesn't require a LinkedIn account.

**Q: How many company pages can I find?**
A: Up to 100 per country per search. With multi-country (e.g., us, uk, de, fr), each country gets its own limit — 4 countries × 100 = up to 400 results.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keyword": "OpenAI"
}' |
apify call aeonkosmos/linkedin-company-search --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,aeonkosmos/linkedin-company-search"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
