LinkedIn Company Search Scraper | Business Discovery

Find LinkedIn companies by keyword, location, industry and employee range. Choose basic search results or detailed company enrichment.

Quick start

1. Enter the target URLs or a focused search.
2. Start with a small result cap and one page.
3. Review the dataset and SUMMARY, then export JSON, CSV or Excel.

{
  "searchQuery": "Microsoft",
  "scraperMode": "short",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "takePages": 1
}

Inputs

Field	How to use it
scraperMode	short returns search results; full looks up the detailed record of each selected company.
maxItems	Maximum returned records. Zero continues within page, request, spending and total-result limits.
searchQuery	Search words. Leave blank only when another supported filter is supplied.
locations	Location names, such as London. Use full country names to avoid ambiguous abbreviations.
industryIds	Optional Industry IDs Filter. Enter one value per line; leave empty to skip this filter.
companySize	Optional Company Size Filter (filters by the company size specified in the company "About" tab). Choose from the available options.
startPage	First search page. Starts at 1.
takePages	Maximum pages to fetch. Zero uses the configured maximum pages.
maxRequests	Stops before making more data-service requests. Searches, lookups and enrichment each count.
maxResults	Total output cap across every input.
maxPages	Upper page limit when takePages is zero or omitted. Company search cannot pass page 20.

Sample output

One JSON object per returned record. Source fields and nested objects are preserved; available fields vary. Search and detail modes can return different fields. The following shortened excerpt comes from a bounded successful data-service test.

{
  "id": "1035",
  "name": "Microsoft",
  "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/",
  "website": "https://news.microsoft.com/",
  "employeeCount": 231125
}

Pagination and limits

Free-plan trials are limited to two data-service requests and two output records per run. Search pages, company resolution and profile/job enrichment each consume a data-service request. Paid plans use your input caps and spending limit. A company-name lookup can use one of the two free requests; use company URLs or numeric IDs where supported.

Searches advance page by page and stop at the requested result, page, request or spending limit. Zero is never an unlimited-spend setting. Duplicate records are omitted within a run. A successful empty page ends that query. Saved run state allows a resumed run to continue within the same limits; it is not cross-run database deduplication.

Pricing

Search pages and returned records are charged separately. The displayed per-record event price is not an all-in search price.

Returned record / 1,000	Free	Starter	Scale	Business
Short company result	$1.74	$1.74	$1.29	$0.84
Full company result	$3.54	$3.54	$2.64	$2.19

Each successful search page costs $0.003, on every plan, in addition to returned-record charges. A successful empty page is still charged. Pages that contain only duplicates or records excluded by a filter are also charged.

Full mode charges the full-company event instead of the short-company event, plus the search page.

Platinum and Diamond use the Business event rates; no additional higher-tier discount is offered. There is no separate actor-start fee. Use Apify’s spending cap and inspect SUMMARY.billingEvents and SUMMARY.eventChargesUsd. Failed lookups produce no returned-record event; previously successful page or lookup events remain payable if a later operation fails.

Bulk comparison

The following is a modeled total per 1,000 results, including our page charges. It assumes 50 results per company-search page. Page sizes and matches are not guaranteed. HarvestAPI’s column excludes its separate startup events. Sparse runs can cost more with CrawlKite; this is not an unconditional 10% cheaper claim.

Plan	Mode	HarvestAPI / 1,000	CrawlKite modeled total / 1,000
Free	Short companies	$2	$1.8
Free	Full companies	$4	$3.6
Starter	Short companies	$2	$1.8
Starter	Full companies	$4	$3.6
Scale	Short companies	$1.5	$1.35
Scale	Full companies	$3	$2.7
Business	Short companies	$1	$0.9
Business	Full companies	$2.5	$2.25

Comparison checked 4 November 2026: HarvestAPI pricing. Returned fields, coverage and query behavior may differ.

For example, one successful page plus one short company result on Free costs $0.00474.
