Thank you it seems fixed, two other issue's I am seeing though

Scraping for number of employee's on some urls does not seem to work

https://console.apify.com/actors/bn2Zqf05Giqym1kiD/runs/M2DqeNL626NcUAjGc#output

For example

https://www.linkedin.com/company/owl-great-britain/ Apparel & Fashion

  1. numberOfEmployees seems incorrect on some of them for example

Pulling just 1 employee

https://www.linkedin.com/company/kvd-beauty/

but it should be

201-500 employees

I see the discrepancy you’re pointing out. The key distinction here is that "Company Size" and "Number of Employees" are separate fields on LinkedIn.

The "Number of Employees" field typically reflects the number of LinkedIn users associated with the company, whereas the "Company Size" field provides a broader estimate of the total workforce.

If your goal is to retrieve the estimated workforce range, you may need to extract the Company Size field instead. Let me know if you'd like assistance in adjusting the scraping logic to capture the correct data.

Sorry yes, we would like it to capture the correct data :) sorry I am a little confused why it was closed off. As per my two points, Point 1, its not pulling any Number of employees, point 1 its pulling the incorrect amount of employee's, we need to ensure the data is correct.

For point 2 for example we are using a different scraper and it seems to pull 898 number of employees which does seem to be correct.

hey Scott, I think there a bit misunderstanding.

  1. If the company has no associated employees on LinkedIn, you might see null or 0 for numberOfEmployees for example, on the page you provided https://www.linkedin.com/company/owl-great-britain/ has 0 associated members. which is correct.

  2. the scraper is pulling same data as on the LinkedIn page. I do not see any difference on the scraped data. for https://www.linkedin.com/company/kvd-beauty/ check here https://console.apify.com/view/runs/XWWK0oRJyq265XLTQ
