## 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.md):

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

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

**Convert known LinkedIn company handles or URLs into structured public company dossiers.**

I built LinkedIn Company Scraper for the research step after a company list already exists. Instead of mixing discovery and enrichment, it focuses on collecting the public facts needed to compare organizations consistently.

### What belongs in a company dossier

The useful record goes beyond a name and logo: industry, employee range, headquarters, specialties, website, description, locations, funding information when visible, related organizations, and recent updates can all contribute context.

### Handles in, comparable rows out

Use a company handle or a full `/company/` URL. Batch related organizations together and cap early test runs with `maxItems`.

#### Batch company lookup

Enter one or more LinkedIn company handles or /company/ URLs and fetch the full public company page for each.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `company_handle` | array<string> | Yes | LinkedIn company handles or /company/ URLs to fetch company details for. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of companies to fetch. Set to 0 for no item limit. |

#### Example lookup list

```json
{
  "company_handle": [
    "microsoft"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20
}
````

### Inspect coverage before building a score

#### Identity

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `company_handle` | string | LinkedIn company handle used to fetch this record. |
| `name` | string | Company name. |
| `industry` | string | Industry shown on the company page. |
| `tagline` | mixed | Company tagline, when set. |
| `description` | string | Company description/about text. |
| `website` | string | Company website URL. |
| `logo` | string | Company or job poster logo URL. |

#### Company facts

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `company_size` | string | Employee count range shown on the company page. |
| `headquarters` | string | Headquarters location. |
| `type` | string | Company type, e.g. Public Company. |
| `founded` | mixed | Year founded, when shown. |
| `phone` | mixed | Company phone number, when shown. |
| `specialties` | string | Comma-separated specialties listed on the company page. |
| `address` | object | Company headquarters address. |

#### Network

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `followers` | number | Follower count. |
| `employee_count` | number | LinkedIn employee count for the company. |
| `similar_pages` | array | Similar companies shown on the company page. |
| `affiliated_pages` | array | Affiliated company or showcase pages. |

#### Content

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `updates` | array | Recent company page updates with reaction and comment counts. |
| `activity` | array | Recent posts and articles shown on the profile or company page. |
| `jsonld` | object | Structured schema.org data embedded in the page. |

#### Short company preview

```json
{
  "company_handle": "microsoft",
  "name": "Microsoft",
  "industry": "Software Development",
  "headquarters": "Redmond, Washington",
  "followers": 28611916,
  "website": "https://news.microsoft.com/"
}
```

Not every company publishes every section. I recommend preserving missing values as missing and scoring only fields with enough coverage across the comparison set.

### Cost of a bounded company batch

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-result pricing. You are charged for successful dataset results according to the Actor pricing shown on the Apify Pricing tab. Enrichment may add extra billable events when enabled.

Apify's free credits may cover small test runs and up to the free result allowance configured for the Actor.

Start with a low maxItems value before enabling enrichment for large runs.

### Public company data and compliance

This Actor extracts publicly available LinkedIn profile information. It should not be used to collect private account data, bypass access controls, or contact people in ways that violate privacy laws, LinkedIn terms, or your own compliance obligations. If you are unsure, consult a qualified lawyer.

### Run this Actor from code

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("thenetaji/linkedin-company-scraper").call(run_input={
    "company_handle": [
        "microsoft"
    ],
    "maxItems": 20
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN" });
const run = await client.actor("thenetaji/linkedin-company-scraper").call({
  "company_handle": [
    "microsoft"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```
