LinkedIn Company Scraper

What does LinkedIn Company Scraper do?

LinkedIn Company Scraper extracts company profile details from LinkedIn company pages (for example https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/). You provide one or more company URLs and the Actor saves structured records into an Apify dataset.

Typical extracted fields include company name, website, industry, company size, headquarters, founded year, specialties, followers, about text — and (optionally) job posting URLs linked from the company jobs page.

This Actor is designed to run on the Apify platform, so you can use API access, scheduling, integrations, proxy rotation, and run monitoring.

Pricing / Cost estimation

How much does it cost to scrape LinkedIn company pages?

• The main cost driver is how many company URLs you scrape and whether LinkedIn requires additional retries / slower browsing.
• If you enable Residential proxies, success rates are usually better, but proxy usage can increase cost.
• To estimate cost quickly, run a small test (e.g. 10 URLs) and extrapolate based on your average time per company.

Tips & advanced options

• If you get blocked or see missing fields, increase requestDelaySecs and keep concurrency low.
• For the best success rate, use Apify Proxy + li_at cookie (optional).
• If you only need company profiles (not job URLs), consider lowering maxJobUrls to reduce extra requests.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping LinkedIn allowed?

Scraping LinkedIn is subject to LinkedIn’s Terms of Service and applicable laws. Use this Actor responsibly, respect rate limits, and only collect data you are allowed to process.

Why do I see partial results?

LinkedIn sometimes shows a login wall or rate-limits requests. Using Apify Proxy and (optionally) a valid li_at cookie usually improves access, but LinkedIn page structure can change over time.
