# Track competitor headcount growth weekly

**Use case:** 

Run weekly and get headcount growth per company — the growth number no snapshot scraper can give you, because past counts can't be back-filled.

## Input

```json
{
  "companies": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/openai/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropicresearch/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/mistralai/"
  ],
  "maxRequestsPerMinute": 20
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "name": {
    "label": "Company"
  },
  "employees": {
    "label": "Now"
  },
  "employeesFrom": {
    "label": "Was"
  },
  "employeesChanged": {
    "label": "Change"
  },
  "employeesPerMonth": {
    "label": "Per month"
  },
  "employeesPercentPerMonth": {
    "label": "%/month"
  },
  "employeeGrowthReliable": {
    "label": "Reliable"
  },
  "observedDays": {
    "label": "Days watched"
  },
  "observations": {
    "label": "Samples"
  },
  "followersPercentPerMonth": {
    "label": "Followers %/mo"
  }
}
```
