## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

### LinkedIn Company Search — Query, Industry, Size ✅ No Cookies

Search **LinkedIn companies** by keyword and filter by **industry, company size and location**.
Returns each company's name, LinkedIn URL, industry, location, follower count, summary and logo —
**one row per company**. Powered by the Neuralverge API. **No cookies or account required**, and
**you only pay for the companies returned**.

Ideal for lead lists, market mapping, account-based marketing, competitor research and CRM
enrichment.

### ✨ Why this Actor

- 🔍 **Keyword + filters** — search by query and narrow by industry, headcount band and location.
- 💸 **Pay only for results** — billed per company row returned; the search run itself is free. No
  empty, billable rows.
- 🍪 **No cookies or account** — the search runs on the Neuralverge backend; you never share a
  LinkedIn login.
- 📄 **Clean, structured rows** — name, LinkedIn URL, industry, location, followers, summary and
  logo, ready for a spreadsheet, CRM or AI pipeline.
- ⚡ **Paginated** — set the page size and start page to walk deeper into the results.

### 🔧 How it works

1. **Enter a search query** and, optionally, industry, company-size and location filters.
2. **Run the Actor.** The search happens on the Neuralverge backend.
3. **Get one dataset row per company.** Export to CSV, JSON or Excel, or pull it over the Apify
   API.

Empty searches return nothing and are **not charged**.

### Input

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | string | Keyword to search companies by, e.g. `software`, `fintech`. |
| `industryIds` | array | LinkedIn industry slug(s), e.g. `technology_information_and_media`. Empty = all. |
| `companySize` | array | Headcount band(s), e.g. `51-200`, `201-500`. Empty = any. |
| `locations` | array | Location(s), e.g. `London`, `Amsterdam`. Empty = anywhere. |
| `scraperMode` | string | `short` (fast basic card) or `full` (extended). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max companies to return per run. |
| `startPage` | integer | Results page to start from (1 = first). |

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "software",
  "industryIds": [],
  "companySize": [],
  "locations": [],
  "scraperMode": "short",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "startPage": 1
}
````

### What you'll receive

One dataset row per company, with these fields:

- **`name`**, **`universalName`** (LinkedIn handle), **`linkedinUrl`**, **`id`**
- **`industry`**, **`location`**, **`followers`**
- **`summary`** and **`logo`** (image URL)

> **Nulls are normal.** LinkedIn doesn't expose every field for every company — `location` and
> `followers` are sometimes `null`.

#### Example output (real run)

Real dataset rows for the query `software` (`scraperMode: short`), shown in full.

```json
[
  {
    "id": "13480",
    "universalName": "software-mind",
    "name": "Software Mind",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/software-mind/",
    "industry": "IT Services and IT Consulting",
    "location": "Krakow, Malopolskie",
    "followers": "86K followers",
    "summary": "Software Mind is a global digital transformation partner with operations throughout Europe, the US and LATAM. Driven by tech and empowered by people, we provide companies with software engineers and autonomous, cross-functional development...",
    "logo": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4D0BAQEayyV-_smnVQ/company-logo_100_100/company-logo_100_100/0/1646386545868/software_mind_logo?e=1786579200&v=beta&t=0m1b8QWdqf9leHiUjIbshiE4lBhB5RvOZhHcSPI2ROU"

    "name": "Software University (SoftUni)",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/software-university-softuni/",
    "industry": "Sofia",
    "location": null,
    "followers": null,
    "summary": "Software University (SoftUni) is as an education initiative for high quality software education, the biggest...",
    "logo": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4D0BAQEApCWzd7I27g/company-logo_100_100/company-logo_100_100/0/1631349197715?e=1786579200&v=beta&t=7AEMkn9rHO98JA07KqORc9IlXYhC602kRugdWWn9k5s"
  }
]
```

> Genuine output from a live run — two of the five companies returned for `software`.

### Pricing

Pay per result — **$0.005 per company** ($5 per 1,000) returned to the dataset.
**You pay only for the rows returned — the search run itself is free.**

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | Free |
| Company returned (per dataset row) | **$0.005** |

Searches that return nothing are **not billed**. Pricing is on top of your Apify platform usage.

### Integrations & API

Results are stored in a standard Apify dataset — export as CSV, JSON, XML or Excel,
or fetch on demand through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api). The Actor
also plugs into Apify's integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks) and can be called
from any [MCP](https://mcp.apify.com/) client.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account or cookies?** No. The search runs on the Neuralverge backend; you never
share a LinkedIn login.

**How do I filter by industry?** Pass LinkedIn industry slug(s) in `industryIds`, e.g.
`technology_information_and_media`. Leave it empty to search all industries.

**How do I get more than one page of results?** Increase `maxItems` and/or raise `startPage` to
paginate deeper into the result set.

**Am I charged for an empty search?** No. You're billed only for company rows returned to the
dataset.
