LinkedIn Company Scraper: Employee Count & Headcount Growth

LinkedIn Company Scraper: Employee Count, Headcount Growth & Company Data

Scrape LinkedIn company pages without login or cookies: the exact employee count on LinkedIn, company size, industry, website, headquarters and every office address, founded year, company type, specialties, followers, similar companies and recent posts. Give it any mix of LinkedIn company URLs, company names, website domains (openai.com) or LinkedIn IDs: the Actor finds the right page.

Every run saves each company's employee count and followers, so the next run shows headcount growth: how many employees a company gained or lost since your last check, in numbers and percent. Schedule it weekly or monthly and you have a LinkedIn headcount tracker for your accounts, competitors or portfolio.

Use cases: enrich company lists for lead generation and CRM, find the LinkedIn page of a website, track hiring and layoffs through headcount, build lookalike prospect lists, research markets and competitors. A LinkedIn company data API with clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

What makes it different

📈 Headcount growth between runs	previousEmployeeCount, employeeCountChange, employeeGrowthPct, followersChange and a headcountHistory of up to 60 checks per company: nobody else keeps it
🔔 Headcount change alerts	Only report headcount changes returns just the companies whose employee count moved since the last check; unchanged ones are free
🌐 Website → LinkedIn page	Put a domain (openai.com): the Actor reads the company's own site for its LinkedIn link, or matches the domain against LinkedIn pages. A LinkedIn company URL finder in the same run
🧲 Lookalike companies	Also scrape similar companies adds the ~10 companies LinkedIn shows as "Similar pages" for each of yours, with full data and a similarTo column
🔢 Exact employee count, not just a range	employeeCount 16 609 next to companySize "5,001-10,000 employees" (LinkedIn's own range is often out of date)
🏢 Every office	All office addresses of the company page, not only the headquarters
🔒 No account, no cookies	Public LinkedIn pages only; your LinkedIn account is never used or at risk

Example

Input: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stripe/, Notion, openai.com, 1053. Real run, 10 Oct 2026:

Company	Found by	Employees	Company size	Industry	HQ	Followers
Stripe	link	16 609	5,001-10,000	Technology, Information and Internet	South San Francisco, US	1 759 786
Notion	name	7 167	501-1,000	Software Development	San Francisco, US	1 127 594
OpenAI	website domain	11 252	1,001-5,000	Research Services	San Francisco, US	11 905 458
Intel	id	109 693	10,001+	Semiconductor Manufacturing	Santa Clara, US	4 380 675

Notion lists itself as 501-1,000 employees, while 7 167 LinkedIn members work there: the exact count is the better number.

FAQ

How do I find the LinkedIn page of a company from its website? Put the domain (stripe.com) or the website URL into Companies. The Actor opens the website, takes its LinkedIn company link, or else matches the domain with the website on LinkedIn pages; matchedBy says which.

What is the employee count? employeeCount is the number of LinkedIn members who list the company as their current employer: the number in "See all 16,609 employees" on the page. companySize is the range the company chose itself. For headcount trends the member count is the better signal: it moves when people join or leave.

How do I track LinkedIn headcount growth? Run the same list on a schedule (weekly or monthly). Every run saves the employee count; from the second run on each row has the change since the previous check, and headcountHistory keeps up to 60 checks. Turn on Only report headcount changes to get only the companies that grew or shrank.

Can I search companies by name? Yes. A name uses LinkedIn's own company suggestions and takes the company with the same name (or LinkedIn's first suggestion). For an exact result, use the LinkedIn URL.

Can it get the list of employees or their emails? No. Employee lists need a LinkedIn login, so this Actor does not offer them. For emails of local businesses see Google Maps Email Extractor.

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies? No. Only public company pages are read, without login.

Tips

• LinkedIn URLs are the fastest and most exact input; names and websites take 1-3 extra requests to find the page.
• For a lookalike list, put 3-10 of your best customers as seeds and turn on Also scrape similar companies.
• The headcount history is kept for your account: any run with the same company, scheduled or manual, adds a point (one per day).

Limits

• Funding rounds and investor data are not on LinkedIn's public company page, so they are not included.
• A company found only by its numeric LinkedIn ID needs open jobs on LinkedIn (LinkedIn opens ID links only after login); use the URL or the name otherwise.
• School pages (linkedin.com/school/...) are not supported.
• employeeCount is missing on showcase pages; LinkedIn does not show it there.
• LinkedIn's member count moves by a few people from day to day even without hiring; look at the trend over weeks.
