How it works

This actor is designed to extract comprehensive information from LinkedIn company "About" pages, capturing details such as company overview, industry, company size, headquarters location, specialties, website, and other key company information.

Features

This actor offers the following features:

• Multiple Company Scraping: Capable of scraping data from multiple LinkedIn company About pages. Input can either be formatted as https://www.linkedin.com/company/{company-name}/about/ or you can directly copy and paste the company's LinkedIn URL.
• Authentication Requirement: To enable more extensive scraping capabilities, users are required to log in using cookie-based authentication.
• Customizable Configuration: Offers adjustable settings including max items to scrape, scroll delays, and proxy configuration to cater to a wide range of data extraction requirements.
• Rate Limiting: Built-in delay mechanisms (minDelay and maxDelay) to avoid getting blocked by LinkedIn.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/linkedin-company-about-scraper).

Purpose: Extract company profile data from LinkedIn company About pages (linkedin.com/company/{name}/about/) using your own LinkedIn session cookies — one dataset row per company.

Minimal input:

{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/aalbers-wico/about/" }],
    "cookies": [
        "li_at=YOUR_LI_AT_COOKIE",
        "JSESSIONID=\"ajax:YOUR_JSESSIONID\""
    ],
    "maxItems": 20,
    "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Output: one dataset row per company — entityUrn, url, name, universalName, description, tagline, phoneNumber, phoneExtension, websiteUrl, callToAction {displayText, type, url, visible}, employeeCount, employeeCountRange {start, end}, foundedOn {year, month, day}, specialities, headquarter {description, address {country, city, line1, line2, postalCode, geographicArea}, headquarter}, industries.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Requires valid LinkedIn cookies — both li_at and JSESSIONID must be present, or the run returns no data. Use fresh cookies each run.
• startUrls accept company URLs (…/company/{name}/ or …/company/{name}/about/) and LinkedIn search-results URLs.
• Set maxItems to cap; default is 100 companies per run.
• minDelay / maxDelay (seconds) throttle scrolling to reduce block risk.
• Residential proxy (useApifyProxy + RESIDENTIAL) is recommended for stable access.
• Billing: Pay-per-event billing — see the Pricing tab on the actor page.
