LinkedIn Company Search Scraper (No Cookies)

🚀 What is LinkedIn Company Search Scraper?

LinkedIn Company Search Scraper is an Apify Actor that finds LinkedIn companies by keywords, location, industry and company size, or reads company pages you already have. Each company comes back with its website, logo, size, employees, followers, offices, specialities and similar companies. You need no LinkedIn account and no cookies.

• 🔎 Search or paste: add many company search links, company pages or keyword lines in one run.
• 🎯 Filters: narrow results by location, industry and company size before anything is saved.
• ⚡ Two modes: Short gives a fast company list, Full gives the complete company profile.
• 📥 Live results: each company is saved as soon as it is ready, so a stopped run keeps what it found.
• 📚 Extra tables: one row per office and one row per similar company, with no extra charge.

Click Try for free, add a search link or some keywords, and press Start. The LinkedIn company search tool shows its first companies in the Output tab while the run is still going.

Teams use this LinkedIn company scraper for lead lists and market research.

📊 What data can you extract from LinkedIn?

The LinkedIn company data scraper returns one row per company in the main dataset, plus an offices table and a similar companies table. You can download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel. A field that has no data for a company may be missing from its row.

The offices table has one row per office (companyName, companyUniversalName, companyLinkedinUrl, position, headquarter, description, line1, line2, city, geographicArea, postalCode, country, countryName, address). The similar table has one row per similar company (the same company columns plus similarName, similarUniversalName, similarLinkedinUrl, similarTagline, similarLocation, similarLogo).

• Competitor mapping: run LinkedIn competitor analysis with the similar table and the follower counts of each rival.
• Regional research: list LinkedIn companies by location to see which cities or countries hold the most companies for a keyword.
• Industry research: browse LinkedIn companies by industry using LinkedIn's own industry names or ids.

• Office footprint: check LinkedIn company offices and the headquarters flag in the offices table.
• Account discovery: use it as a LinkedIn company finder when you know the niche but not the names. It can also find similar companies on LinkedIn from the similarOrganizations field of a company you already know.
• Company directory: use the Actor as a LinkedIn company directory scraper to build your own searchable list of companies.
• Repeatable exports: a LinkedIn company list scraper run can be scheduled to refresh the same list.
• Positioning research: read LinkedIn company specialities and taglines to compare how competitors describe themselves.
• Audience size checks: compare the LinkedIn company followers of several brands. Set the LinkedIn company employee count next to the declared size range of each.

🛠️ How to scrape LinkedIn companies

How to export LinkedIn companies

Open the Storage tab after the run, pick the dataset and choose a download format. Export LinkedIn companies to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the same data from the Apify API. As a LinkedIn company export tool it supports the dataset formats Apify offers.

How to scrape LinkedIn without login

Paste public search links, company page links or plain keywords. You can scrape LinkedIn without login because the Actor works from public company information and never asks for your LinkedIn account or cookies. Treat it as a LinkedIn company scraping tool for public pages only.

How to run a bulk LinkedIn company lookup

Put one company page link per line in Search links, company pages or keywords. This LinkedIn company lookup tool reads each page directly. A bulk LinkedIn company lookup ignores the filters, because every page you list is read as it is.

How to find a LinkedIn company with the page scraper

Add a link such as https://www.linkedin.com/company/stripe. This LinkedIn company page scraper mode returns the page's data in Full or Short mode.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape LinkedIn companies?

This LinkedIn company data tool uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for each company saved to the main results table (the Results event), from $2 per 1,000 results on the Free tier down to $1.5 on the highest tiers. The offices, similar companies and inputs tables carry no extra charge.

Apify plan tier	Price per 1,000 results
Free	$2
Bronze	$1.8
Silver	$1.6
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$1.5

A tiny Actor Start charge of $0.00005 also applies to each run start. For example, 1,000 companies cost $2 on the Free tier and $1.5 on the Gold, Platinum and Diamond tiers, plus the start charge. See the Pricing tab for current rates.

⬇️ Input

Only urls is required: one search link, company page link or keyword line per entry. Each line becomes one search or one page read in the LinkedIn company search extractor. Keyword lines support quotes, OR and -word, for example "growth marketing" OR "performance marketing" -freelance.

See the Input tab for every option. This example input uses the pre-filled and default values of the form (example, not a captured run):

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/companies/?keywords=marketing%20agency"
  ],
  "scraperMode": "full",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "startPage": 1,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

Field	Meaning
urls	Required. One item per line: a LinkedIn company search link (its keywords, industry and company size are used), a LinkedIn company page (read directly) or plain keywords.
searchQuery	Optional. One more keyword search to run.
scraperMode	short for basic company data, full for the complete profile. The form default is full.
maxItems	Companies to return for each search line. The form is pre-filled with 10. Leave it empty or set 0 for all that can be found.
locations	Cities, regions or countries where the company has an office, for example San Francisco or Germany. A company matches when any of its places matches. Add the country to a city name to be exact.
industryIds	LinkedIn industry names or ids, for example Software Development or 4. Names must be LinkedIn's own industry names to match exactly; other text is matched loosely.
companySize	Keep companies whose declared size is one of 1-10, 11-50, 51-200, 201-500, 501-1000, 1001-5000, 5001-10000 or 10001+.
startPage	Skip the first matches of each search. Page 2 starts at company 51 (50 companies per page). Default 1, up to 2000.
takePages	Number of pages of 50 companies per search. Used only when maxItems is empty. Up to 2000.
proxyConfiguration	Optional connection settings. Leave the default for automatic handling.

💡 Keep maxItems low for a first test run.

⚠️ The location filter inside a LinkedIn search link cannot be read without a LinkedIn login, so add the place names to locations instead.

A SUMMARY record in the key-value store holds the run totals.

⚠️ Limitations and error handling

• As a LinkedIn company data extractor it reads public company information only. Private data is not available.
• Each search returns the companies that match every filter you set. Very narrow combinations of keywords, place, industry and size can return few companies, so run a small test first.
• Location and industry filters are combined into separate searches, and very large combinations are capped at 60. A warning in the log says when this happens.
• A company reached more than once in a run is saved once.
• If LinkedIn limits requests, the run may slow down or stop early, and the companies already saved are kept.
• A link that is not a LinkedIn company search link or company page is reported as a failed input.

The status field of each searches row uses these values:

Status	Meaning	What to do
ok	The input was processed and companies were saved	Nothing
empty	The input was processed but no company matched	Broaden the keywords or location, or try Short mode
failed	The input had a problem, described in the error field	Check the link or keywords and try again
skipped	The input was not run because a limit was reached or the connection was lost	Run it again in a new run

🔌 Integrating LinkedIn Company Search Scraper with other apps

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn?

LinkedIn Company Search Scraper only extracts company information that is publicly visible on LinkedIn and does not extract private data. Results may still contain personal data, so only collect it with a legitimate reason and think about GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and LinkedIn's terms. Consult a lawyer if you are unsure. Read Apify's post on the legality of web scraping for background.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies?

No. This LinkedIn company search without account or cookies reads public company information only.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is pay-per-event, from $2 per 1,000 results on the Free tier to $1.5 on the highest tiers, plus a tiny Actor Start charge of $0.00005. See the Pricing tab for current rates.

How many companies can I get?

With this LinkedIn company extractor, set maxItems to the number you want, or leave it empty to get all companies that can be found.

What is the difference between Short and Full mode?

Short returns the basic company data quickly. Full also returns the website, logo, founding year, employee numbers, every office, specialities and similar companies.

Why did I get fewer companies than my maximum?

Only companies that match every filter are kept. The searches table and the log say how many were checked and why some were left out.

Why does a company in another city appear?

A company matches when any of its offices is in the place you asked for, not only its headquarters. Add the country to a city name to be exact.

Why are employee count and company size different?

employeeCount is the number of LinkedIn members who list the company. employeeCountRange is the size the company declares.

Can I scrape private data?

No. Only public company information is read, and this LinkedIn organization scraper does not collect people profiles.

Do I need proxies?

No. By default you do not need to set anything in proxyConfiguration, and you can add your own connection settings if you prefer.

Can I use it with the API or an MCP server?

Yes. Start it through the Apify API, or let an AI agent call it through the Apify MCP server.
