Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## 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 ## ๐Ÿข LinkedIn Company Scraper Pro - Profiles + Search + Posts (No Login) > **No cookies.

Pick a mode, fill the matching section, ignore the rest. #### Mode 1: `get_company` - Rich profile + funding ```json { "mode": "get_company", "profileCompanies": [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropic/", "openai", "Google" ] } ``` **Smart input routing:** - `linkedin.com/company/...` URL โ†’ fetched by URL - single lowercase token (e.g. `openai`) โ†’ fetched by `universalName` (fastest) - free text (e.g. `Google`) โ†’ search-and-pick-best-match #### Mode 2: `search_companies` - ICP filters ```json { "mode": "search_companies", "searchKeywords": "AI infrastructure", "location": "United States", "companySize": ["51-200", "201-500", "501-1000"], "industryIds": ["96"], "maxResults": 200 } ``` `geoId` overrides `location` if both are provided. Industry IDs come from the [LinkedIn V2 industry codes list](https://github.com/HarvestAPI/linkedin-industry-codes-v2/blob/main/linkedin_industry_code_v2_all_eng.csv). #### Mode 3: `company_posts` - Recent activity ```json { "mode": "company_posts", "postsCompanies": ["anthropic", "openai"], "maxPostsPerCompany": 50, "scrapePostedLimit": "month" } ``` `scrapePostedLimit` is applied client-side after fetch - it preserves accurate pagination (unlike LinkedIn's native date filter). *** ### โš™๏ธ Inputs | Field | Type | Used in mode | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | enum | all | `get_company` | `search_companies` | `company_posts` | | `profileCompanies` | string\[] | `get_company` | URL, universal name, or free text. One per line. | | `postsCompanies` | string\[] | `company_posts` | URL, universal name, or free text. One per line. | | `searchKeywords` | string | `search_companies` | Free-text keywords | | `location` | string | `search_companies` | e.g. "Australia" - ignored if `geoId` is set | | `geoId` | string | `search_companies` | LinkedIn geo ID (overrides location) | | `companySize` | string\[] | `search_companies` | `1-10`, `11-50`, `51-200`, `201-500`, `501-1000`, `1001-5000`, `5001-10000`, `10001+` | | `industryIds` | string\[] | `search_companies` | LinkedIn V2 industry IDs | | `maxResults` | integer | `search_companies` | Default 100, max 1000 | | `scrapePostedLimit` | enum | `company_posts` | `1h` | `24h` | `week` | `month` | `3months` | `6months` | `year` | | `maxPostsPerCompany` | integer | `company_posts` | Default 50 | | `includeSimilarCompanies` | boolean | all | Default `false`. Keep LinkedIn's "People also viewed" list (slimmed). | *** ### ๐Ÿ“ค Output #### `get_company` - Full company record (every field shown) After auto-cleanup (nulls and empty fields stripped), a typical record contains: ```json { "id": "1035", "universalName": "anthropic", "name": "Anthropic", "tagline": "AI safety company", "website": "https://www.anthropic.com", "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropic/", "logo": "https://media.licdn.com/.../company-logo_400_400/...", "logos": [ { "url": "...", "width": 400, "height": 400, "expiresAt": 1779321600000 }, { "url": "...", "width": 200, "height": 200, "expiresAt": 1779321600000 }, { "url": "...", "width": 100, "height": 100, "expiresAt": 1779321600000 } ], "backgroundCover": "https://media.licdn.com/.../company-background_10000/...", "backgroundCovers": [ { "url": "...", "width": 1584, "height": 396, "expiresAt": 1778626800000 } ], "foundedOn": { "year": 2021, "month": 1, "day": 1 }, "employeeCount": 1100, "employeeCountRange": { "start": 1001, "end": 5000 }, "followerCount": 952183, "description": "Anthropic is an AI safety company...", "headquarter": { "country": "US", "city": "San Francisco", "geographicArea": "CA", "line1": "548 Market St", "postalCode": "94104", "description": "Headquarters", "parsed": { "text": "San Francisco, CA, United States", "countryCode": "US", "country": "United States", "countryFull": "United States of America", "state": "California", "city": "San Francisco" } }, "locations": [ { "country": "US", "city": "San Francisco", "geographicArea": "CA", "line1": "548 Market St", "postalCode": "94104", "headquarter": true, "parsed": { "text": "San Francisco, CA, United States", "countryCode": "US", "country": "United States", "state": "California", "city": "San Francisco" } } ], "industries": [ { "id": "70", "name": "Research", "urn": "urn:li:fsd_industry:70", "title": "Research Services", "hierarchy": "Professional Services > Research Services" } ], "specialities": ["AI safety", "ML research", "alignment", "interpretability"], "active": true, "pageVerified": true, "pageType": "COMPANY", "autoGenerated": false, "callToActionUrl": "https://www.anthropic.com", "jobSearchUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search?geoId=92000000&f_C=1035", "crunchbaseFundingData": { "numberOfFundingRounds": 8, "lastFundingRound": { "localizedFundingType": "Series E", "moneyRaised": { "amount": "4000000000", "currencyCode": "USD" }, "announcedOn": { "year": 2024, "month": 11, "day": 22 }, "leadInvestors": [{ "name": "Lightspeed Venture Partners" }], "numberOfOtherInvestors": 6, "fundingRoundUrl": "https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/...", "investorsUrl": "https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/.../investors" }, "organizationUrl": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/anthropic", "fundingRoundsUrl": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/anthropic/funding_rounds", "updatedAt": 1730851200 }, "inputQuery": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropic/", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-05T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` **Fields you might see when present:** `phone`, `tagline`, `announcement`, `similarOrganizations` (opt-in), `peopleStats`, `repostId`, `repost`, `repostedBy`, `newsletterUrl`, `newsletterTitle`. #### `search_companies` -

pick the one that matches your mode: | View | Mode | Columns | |---|---|---| | ๐Ÿข **Company Profiles** | `get_company` | Company, Handle, Tagline, Industries, Employees, Followers, HQ City, HQ Country, Website, LinkedIn, Founded, Funding rounds, Last round type, Last $ raised, Specialities, Active, Verified, Scraped at | | ๐Ÿ” **Search Results** | `search_companies` | Company, Handle, Industries, Location, Followers, Summary, LinkedIn, Page, Scraped at | | ๐Ÿ“ฐ **Company Posts** | `company_posts` | Company, Posted by, Content, Posted (relative), Date, Likes, Comments, Shares, Post URL, Linked article, Newsletter, Scraped at | Nested fields (e.g. `headquarter.city`, `crunchbaseFundingData.lastFundingRound.moneyRaised.amount`, `engagement.likes`) are **flattened automatically** for clean tabular display and CSV export. You can also export the dataset in any standard Apify format: **JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS, XML**. *** ### ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ Key-Value Store Layout The Actor organizes the run's KV store using prefixed collections (defined in `.actor/key_value_store_schema.json`): | Collection | Key prefix | What's inside | |---|---|---| | ๐Ÿ“ฅ **Run Input** | `INPUT` | The exact input record this run was started with. | | ๐Ÿ“Š **Run Summary** | `OUTPUT` | End-of-run summary: mode, total records, success/error counts, per-input breakdown, duration, notes. Written automatically. | | โŒ **Errors** | `errors-` | One JSON record per failed input (bad URL, missing company, upstream error). | | ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ **Raw search pages** *(opt-in)* | `search-page-` | Raw API response for each search page. Only written when env var `DEBUG_RAW=1`. Useful for debugging pagination. | | ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ **Raw post pages** *(opt-in)* | `posts-page--` | Raw API response for each company-posts page. Only written when `DEBUG_RAW=1`. | The `OUTPUT` summary is a great hook for downstream automation - read it after the run finishes to know exactly what happened without scanning the dataset. ```json // Example OUTPUT record { "mode": "get_company", "startedAt": "2026-05-05T12:00:00.000Z", "finishedAt": "2026-05-05T12:00:14.000Z", "durationSeconds": 14, "totalRecords": 3, "successes": 3, "errors": 0, "perInput": { "anthropic": { "records": 1 }, "openai": { "records": 1 }, "Google": { "records": 1 } } } ``` *** ### ๐ŸŒ Live API (Standby mode) The Actor ships with a full **OpenAPI 3 schema** (`.actor/openapi.json`) describing a synchronous request/response API for the same three operations: | Endpoint | Mode equivalent | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `GET /` | - | Health check | | `GET /company?input=<...>` | `get_company` | Single-company profile lookup | | `GET /search?search=...&geoId=...&companySize=...` | `search_companies` | Filtered search | | `GET /posts?input=<...>&max=50` | `company_posts` | Recent posts for one company | Authenticated via Apify's standard `Authorization: Bearer ` header. Apify Console renders this schema as interactive docs once the Actor is started in Standby mode. *** ### ๐Ÿ”Œ Integrations - send results anywhere The Apify dataset is JSON-native, which means it plugs into every modern automation tool. Replace ``, ``, and `` with your values. #### HubSpot (CRM) Push each company as a HubSpot company record via the Apify-HubSpot integration, or roll your own with the HubSpot REST API: ```bash curl https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies \ -H "Authorization: Bearer " \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d @- <<'JSON' { "properties": { "name": "Anthropic", "domain": "anthropic.com", "linkedin_company_page": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropic/", "numberofemployees": 1100, "industry": "Research Services" } } JSON ``` #### Salesforce (CRM) Use Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 to upsert in batches. Apify's [Salesforce integration](https://apify.com/integrations) can do this without code: ```bash curl https://.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v60.0/jobs/ingest \ -H "Authorization: Bearer " \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "object": "Account", "operation": "upsert", "externalIdFieldName": "LinkedIn_URL__c", "contentType": "CSV" }' ``` Then PUT the dataset CSV (Apify gives you a direct CSV link per dataset). #### Clay (data enrichment / outbound) Pull this Actor's dataset into Clay as a data source: 1. In Clay, **+ Add Source โ†’ HTTP API**. 2. URL: `https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets//items?token=&format=json&clean=1` 3. Map columns: `name`, `linkedinUrl`, `website`, `employeeCount`, `industries[0].name`, `crunchbaseFundingData.lastFundingRound.localizedFundingType`. #### Airtable ```bash ## Append every dataset row to an Airtable base curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets//items?token=&clean=1" \ | jq -c '.[] | { fields: { Name: .name, LinkedIn: .linkedinUrl, Employees: .employeeCount, Industry: .industries[0].name } }' \ | while read row; do curl -X POST "https://api.airtable.com/v0//" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer " \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"records\":[{$row}]}" done ``` #### n8n Add the **Apify** node โ†’ operation `Run Actor and Get Dataset Items` โ†’ Actor `unseenuser/linkedin-company-pro`. Pipe the output node into HubSpot / Slack / Postgres / Sheets nodes - no code needed. #### Make (Integromat) Use the Apify module **Run an Actor** โ†’ output โ†’ connect to any Make app (Sheets, Notion, Pipedrive, Slack, etc.). The Apify module exposes the dataset as iterable items. #### Zapier Trigger: **Apify - Run Finished**. Action: ** - Create/Update Record**. Map dataset fields to CRM fields in the visual editor. Useful for slow trickle integrations (one row at a time). #### Webhooks (any system) Apify can POST a webhook on `ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED`. The payload includes `defaultDatasetId` - your endpoint then GETs the rows and stores them however you like: ```json { "eventType": "ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED", "resource": { "id": "", "actId": "", "defaultDatasetId": "", "status": "SUCCEEDED" } } ``` *** ### ๐Ÿ• Schedule examples - **Daily competitor posts.** Schedule mode `company_posts` with your competitor list and `scrapePostedLimit: "24h"` once per day. - **Weekly investor watchlist refresh.** Schedule mode `get_company` for your target accounts to capture new funding rounds. - **One-shot ICP build.** Run mode `search_companies` with filters, then feed results into mode `get_company` for full profiles. *** ### โ“ FAQ #### Data & coverage **Q: Does this include Crunchbase funding data?** A: For companies that have it on their LinkedIn page (most well-funded companies do). When absent, `crunchbaseFundingData` is omitted from the cleaned record. **Q: Why is `companyId` faster than `universalName`?** A: The upstream API resolves IDs without an extra lookup. If you've previously fetched a company and have its `id`, prefer that for posts/related calls. **Q: `location` vs `geoId` - which should I use?** A: `location` accepts free text (`Australia`, `Tel Aviv`); `geoId` is precise. If both are set, `geoId` wins. Look up geo IDs via Harvest's `/linkedin/geo-id-search` endpoint. **Q: Why are some image URLs expiring?** A: All `expiresAt` fields are Unix timestamps. LinkedIn CDN URLs expire (typically 7-30 days). Download and re-host images in your own storage if you need durable links. **Q: What fields are NOT returned?** A: This is a public-data-only LinkedIn company scraper. The following are **not** included, by design: - โŒ Email addresses of employees (use [LinkedIn Profile Scraper + Email Enrichment](https://apify.com/unseenuser/LinkedIn-Profile)) - โŒ Direct phone numbers of individual employees - โŒ Private connections / network graph - โŒ Premium / Sales Navigator-only fields (intent data, growth signals) - โŒ Anything behind login walls (private events, employee surveys, internal comms) - โŒ Salaries, internal headcount breakdowns - โŒ Anything LinkedIn has marked private at the page level If you need any of those, they're either out of scope for a no-cookies scraper, available in a sister Actor, or simply not exposed by LinkedIn publicly. #### Legality & compliance **Q: Is scraping LinkedIn legal?** A: **Scraping publicly accessible data is generally lawful in the United States.** The leading case is *hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn* (9th Circuit, 2019; reaffirmed 2022), which held that scraping data publicly available on the open web does **not** violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) because there is no "unauthorized access" to a system that doesn't require authentication. That said: - Other jurisdictions vary. Check your local law. - *hiQ* did not give a free pass for breach-of-contract claims under LinkedIn's User Agreement, copyright, or database rights. - The Actor accesses **only public LinkedIn pages** via a third-party API (HarvestAPI), without logging into any account or bypassing technical protections. - **You** remain responsible for how you use the output. See the **Master ToS** below. **Q: GDPR / UK GDPR compliance?** A: Company data (firmographics, funding, posts) is largely **not personal data** under GDPR. Where the output incidentally includes personal data (e.g., named post authors), you become the **data controller** for any further processing. Standard GDPR obligations apply: lawful basis (typically legitimate interest with documented balancing test for B2B prospecting), transparent notice if you reach out to data subjects, honor SAR / erasure / objection requests. The Publisher does not store or retain output - we are a software vendor, not a data processor. **Q: CCPA compliance?** A: California residents have rights under the CCPA. If you're processing data of California residents (e.g., named US-based employees), apply the standard CCPA workflow: notice at collection, opt-out of sale, deletion on request. Public information is partially exempt from CCPA's definition of "personal information" (Cal. Civ. Code ยง 1798.140(o)(2)) but consult your counsel for your specific use case. **Q: Account ban risk - is my LinkedIn account at risk?** A: **No.** This Actor doesn't touch your LinkedIn account. There's no cookie, no login, no browser session under your name. Cookie-based tools (PhantomBuster, Dux-Soup, LinkedIn Helper, Octopus CRM, etc.) drive your real account at scale - that's how they work, and that's why LinkedIn restricts them. This Actor uses an independent third-party API (HarvestAPI) operating on its own infrastructure.

Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service. - **The Publisher (us):** Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a third-party API and returns the API's responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through. - **Third-Party API Provider:** HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) or Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com). These are independent third-party companies that operate scraping infrastructure and return data from source platforms. - **Source Platform:** LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Linktree, etc. These are the platforms whose publicly visible data is accessed by the Third-Party API Providers. #### Why This Matters Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain). *** These Terms operate alongside but do not replace: - **Apify's Terms of Service** and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify) - **HarvestAPI Terms of Service** and **Scrape Creators Terms of Service** (governing the underlying data infrastructure) - **Source Platform terms** (LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) governing the public data accessed - **Applicable law** in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies. *** ### 1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE #### 1.1 What the Actor Is The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. Each Actor: - (a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform - (b) Translates that input into HTTP requests to a third-party API operated by HarvestAPI or Scrape Creators - (c) Receives HTTP responses from that third-party API - (d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor. #### 1.2 What the Actor Is Not The Actor is **not**: - (a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts - (b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators - (c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns - (d) A licensed access channel to LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta, Linktree, or any other source platform - (e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform #### 1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role The Publisher's role is limited to: - (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code - (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store - (c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when API providers change schemas) - (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent. #### 1.4 The Third-Party API Providers' Role HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) and Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com) are independent third-party companies. They: - (a) Operate the actual data scraping infrastructure - (b) Maintain relationships with source platforms (or accept the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships) - (c) Are themselves Apify publishers (HarvestAPI publishes 9+ actors directly; Scrape Creators publishes 10+) - (d) Provide their own Terms of Service governing their operations - (e) Are responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself The Publisher is a customer of these providers. The Publisher is not their agent, partner, or representative. *** ### 2.

By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum. #### A. Architectural Disclosure This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls HarvestAPI's `/linkedin/company`, `/linkedin/company-search`, and `/linkedin/company-posts` endpoints, and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. The Publisher does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned. #### B. Nature of Data Returned Company profile data, funding and Crunchbase data, company posts, and company search results. Company data is generally non-personal data under GDPR. However, the Actor may incidentally return names of company representatives in posts, photos of employees, and names of post commenters. #### C. Permitted Use Cases B2B sales prospecting (with compliant outreach), competitive intelligence, investor research, ABM target lists, financial analysis and due diligence, academic research on company structures. #### D. Specifically Prohibited Uses In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT: - Build cold-email tools that automate outreach without proper opt-in or anti-spam compliance - Republish proprietary funding data in a way that competes with Crunchbase or PitchBook - Use company data for discriminatory business decisions - Aggregate and resell company data as a substitute for established business intelligence services - Track individual employees' activities through company associations #### E. LinkedIn Platform ToS Considerations This Actor accesses publicly visible LinkedIn company pages via HarvestAPI. HarvestAPI bears responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection. LinkedIn restricts use of their data for building competing professional networks. Your sales/marketing communications should not impersonate LinkedIn or imply LinkedIn endorsement. If LinkedIn issues a cease-and-desist, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser). #### F. B2B Outreach Compliance If you use this Actor for sales prospecting, comply with: GDPR (legitimate interest basis, balancing test, opt-out); CCPA; Israeli Anti-Spam Law (prior consent for marketing); CAN-SPAM (US); CASL (Canada). #### G. Funding Data and Public Markets You may not use funding data for insider trading or other securities fraud. You may not represent the data as official company disclosures. Where data conflicts with official SEC, ISA, or other regulatory filings, the official filings prevail. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Pick one. Each option below has its own dedicated section - just scroll down and fill in that section. ## `profileCompanies` (type: `array`): List the companies you want full profile data for. Accepts ANY mix of: - LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropic/ - Handle (universal name): anthropic - Free-text name: Anthropic AI Smart routing picks the fastest method automatically. One per line. ## `searchKeywords` (type: `string`): Free-text keywords matching company names, taglines, or descriptions. Examples: AI infrastructure, cybersecurity startups, developer tools. Leave blank if you want to filter only by location/size/industry. ## `location` (type: `string`): Filter by country, region, or city as free text. Examples: United States, San Francisco Bay Area, Tel Aviv. Ignored if Geo ID below is set. ## `geoId` (type: `string`): LinkedIn's numeric geo ID. More precise than text location. Examples: 103644278 (United States), 101174742 (Israel). Look up via Harvest's /linkedin/geo-id-search endpoint. Leave blank to use the text Location instead. ## `companySize` (type: `array`): Pick one or more headcount ranges. Multiple selections are OR'd together. ## `industryIds` (type: `array`): LinkedIn V2 industry IDs (numeric). Multiple values are OR'd together. Full list: https://github.com/HarvestAPI/linkedin-industry-codes-v2/blob/main/linkedin\_industry\_code\_v2\_all\_eng.csv Common examples: - 96 Information Technology and Services - 4 Computer Software - 6 Internet - 43 Financial Services - 14 Hospital and Health Care ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on how many companies to return. Pagination is handled automatically. ## `postsCompanies` (type: `array`): List the companies whose recent posts you want. Same input format as profile mode (URL, handle, or free-text name). ## `scrapePostedLimit` (type: `string`): Only keep posts newer than this. Applied AFTER fetch for reliable pagination. Leave blank to keep all posts. ## `maxPostsPerCompany` (type: `integer`): Cap how many posts to fetch per company. Pagination stops automatically when reached or when no more posts exist. ## `includeSimilarCompanies` (type: `boolean`): If on, each company profile keeps LinkedIn's 'People also viewed' list (slimmed to id, name, handle, URL, industry, headcount, followers). Default off - keeps output ~10x smaller. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "get_company", "profileCompanies": [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/anthropic/", "openai", "Google" ], "searchKeywords": "AI infrastructure", "location": "United States", "companySize": [], "industryIds": [], "maxResults": 100, "postsCompanies": [ "anthropic", "openai" ], "maxPostsPerCompany": 50, "includeSimilarCompanies": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): All scraped records: company profiles (`get_company`), search hits (`search_companies`), or company posts (`company_posts`). Nulls and empty fields are stripped automatically. ## `summary` (type: `string`): End-of-run JSON record with mode, total record count, success / error counts, durations, and per-input breakdown. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
