🏢 LinkedIn Company API | Firmographics & Sales Intelligence

The LinkedIn Company API turns public LinkedIn company pages into clean, structured JSON. Use this actor with Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent to collect company name, industry, size, headquarters, followers, specialties, locations, and Crunchbase link, on reliable infrastructure and billed per company.

Send one or many company URLs and get one row per company, collected in parallel. It works as a straightforward LinkedIn company scraper for account enrichment, sales intelligence, and CRM data, and it is built API-first and MCP-ready so AI agents can call it as a tool.

🔁 Use it as a LinkedIn company scraper at scale

Paste a batch of company URLs and this LinkedIn company scraper collects them in budget-capped chunks, one row per company, so a large run never overshoots what you set. Every company comes back with the same flat, predictable fields, which is what makes the output easy to load into a sheet, a database, or a CRM.

The result is ready-to-use account enrichment and firmographic data: size band, industry, headquarters, specialties, website, and a Crunchbase link. If a URL cannot be collected, you get a clear error row for that URL instead of a failed run, so one bad link never sinks the batch. Whether you need LinkedIn company data for one account or ten thousand, the shape of the output stays the same.

💰 Pricing (pay-per-event)

You pay per company returned. There is no per-run setup fee. The current per-event price is shown on the Store card and in the Actor's Monetization details. Because billing is per company, you only pay for the companies actually delivered.

🔌 Use the LinkedIn Company API from Claude (MCP)

This Actor is MCP-server-compatible, so Claude Code (free trial), Claude (desktop and web), Cursor, and other MCP clients can call it as a tool through Apify's hosted MCP server.

Add it with this Actor-specific URL:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/linkedin-company-api

Apify MCP integration docs: https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp

Setup walkthrough:

New to Claude Code or Claude Cowork? Start a free trial.

Then ask Claude:

"Use the LinkedIn Company API to look up Microsoft and summarize its size, industry, and headquarters."

🔌 Integrations: run account enrichment on a schedule

This API is most useful as a recurring step in a pipeline, not a one-off run:

• Tasks and Schedules. Save a set of company URLs as a Task, then attach a Schedule to refresh that account dataset daily, weekly, or monthly with no code.
• n8n, Make, and Zapier. Trigger a run when a new account lands in your CRM, then push the enriched firmographics back. Apify has native connectors for each.
• Supabase, Google Sheets, and databases. Send the dataset straight to storage with a webhook or the Apify API so the rows land where your team already works.
• MCP. Call the API as a tool from Claude and other AI agents (see the section above) to enrich companies inside an agent workflow.
• Webhooks. Fire a webhook on run completion to kick off the next step in your own system, such as lead scoring or routing.

🔗 Related Tools

Build a full picture of an account, the people who work there, and their activity by pairing this with the rest of the LinkedIn suite:

• LinkedIn Profile API - structured data on the people who work at your target accounts.
• LinkedIn Posts API - a company's public posts and engagement, for social selling and research.
• LinkedIn Jobs API - open roles at a company by keyword and location, a strong hiring signal.

Comparison point: some LinkedIn company scrapers on the Store are unmaintained or low-rated (for example george.the.developer/linkedin-company-employees-scraper, rated 1 star). This API is built for reliability, pay-per-company billing, and MCP access from AI agents.

❓ FAQ

Is this a LinkedIn Company API or a LinkedIn company scraper?

Both descriptions fit. You call it like an API (a company URL in, structured JSON out), and under the hood it is a LinkedIn company scraper that reads public company pages. You never touch scraping infrastructure; you get clean, one-row-per-company data back.

What URL should I provide?

A public LinkedIn company page URL, for example https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft. Pass one or many in companyUrls.

What firmographics are included?

Industry, employee size band, employee count on LinkedIn, headquarters, specialties, office locations, country presence, organization type, website, and a Crunchbase link when available.

Is it legal to scrape public LinkedIn company pages?

This actor collects only public company data. Public-data scraping has been addressed in court cases such as hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn, but you are responsible for your own use, including GDPR and platform terms. Consult your own counsel for your use case.

Can I run it from Claude or another AI agent over MCP?

Yes. The Actor is MCP-server-compatible, so Claude Code (free trial) and other MCP clients call it as a tool. See the MCP section above for the setup URL.

Can I schedule it or connect it to my other apps?

Yes. Save your company URLs as a Task and attach a Schedule for recurring runs, and connect the output to n8n, Make, Zapier, Supabase, or your own system by webhook. See the Integrations section above.

Do you also collect people?

Yes, separately. Use the LinkedIn Profile API for person profiles (name, headline, experience, education), and pair it with this Company API to enrich a contact and their employer together.

Can I collect many companies at once?

Yes. Provide a list in companyUrls; they are collected in parallel and returned one row per company, up to 1000 per run.

What if a company cannot be collected?

The API returns a clear error row for that URL explaining why, so a single bad URL does not fail the whole run.
