Input Parameters

companyUrls (required)

A list of LinkedIn company page URLs or slugs.

[
  "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/",
  "https://www.linkedin.com/company/google/about/",
  "openai",
  "apple"
]

cookie (required)

Your LinkedIn session cookie. This is needed to access the Voyager API.

Two formats are accepted:

Option 1 — Just the li_at token (simplest):

1. Open LinkedIn in your browser while logged in
2. Open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → www.linkedin.com
3. Copy the value of the li_at cookie
4. Paste it into the cookie field

Option 2 — Full cookie export (more reliable):

1. Install a browser extension like EditThisCookie or Cookie Editor
2. Visit linkedin.com while logged in
3. Export all cookies as JSON
4. Paste the entire JSON array into the cookie field

Important: Keep your cookie private. It grants full access to your LinkedIn account. The cookie value is stored securely as a secret field.

proxyConfiguration (optional)

Apify proxy configuration. Residential proxy is recommended for best reliability. If not provided, the actor will attempt to use Apify's datacenter proxy automatically.

Scraping Multiple Companies in One Run

You can scrape hundreds of companies in a single run. Just add all URLs to the companyUrls list:

{
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/google/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/meta/"
  ],
  "cookie": "your_li_at_token_here"
}

The actor adds a 1–2 second delay between requests to avoid rate limiting.

FAQs

Does this work for private companies?

Yes. LinkedIn's Voyager API returns company data for both public and private companies, as long as you have a valid LinkedIn session cookie. The data returned is the same as what you see when you visit the company page while logged in.

Why are some fields missing from the output?

Fields are only included when they contain real data. If a company hasn't filled out their LinkedIn profile (e.g., no website, no description, no founded year), those fields will not appear in the output record. This is intentional — there are no null or placeholder values.

Can I use this without a cookie?

No. LinkedIn requires authentication to access Voyager API data. The cookie is mandatory.

How long does a cookie last?

LinkedIn session cookies (li_at) typically remain valid for several weeks to months. If you get a "cookie expired" error, simply log in to LinkedIn again and copy the new li_at value.

What happens if a company URL is invalid or not found?

The actor logs a warning and skips that URL, continuing with the rest of the list. Other companies in your batch are not affected.

Will my account get banned?

The actor uses authenticated HTTP requests (no headless browser) with rate-limiting delays between requests. This mimics normal LinkedIn API usage. However, as with any automated tool, use it responsibly: do not run extremely large batches in rapid succession. A residential proxy (via proxyConfiguration) further reduces the risk.

Can I scrape followers of a company?

This actor scrapes the follower count (total number), which is included in the followersCount field. It does not scrape the list of individual followers.

What is the employeeCountRange vs employeeCount?

• employeeCount is the exact staff count LinkedIn reports for the company.
• employeeCountRange is the bucketed range LinkedIn uses for search filters (e.g., 10001-50000). Some companies only have the range and not the exact count.

Does this support all LinkedIn company page sub-paths?

Yes. All of these resolve to the same company:

• https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/
• https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/about/
• https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/posts/
• https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/jobs/
• apple (just the slug)
