LinkedIn Company Enrichment API — No Login Required

Extract comprehensive LinkedIn company profiles, key employees by seniority/department, engagement metrics, and AI-powered enrichment data. No login, no cookies, no LinkedIn account needed.

Why this actor?

Proxycurl shut down in July 2025 after LinkedIn litigation, leaving 10,000+ customers without a company enrichment API. This actor fills that gap at 50-80% lower cost with additional AI-powered features.

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

Event	Price	When charged
Actor started	$0.01	Every run (even if 0 results)
Company — basic	$0.008	Company data only, no employees
Company — with employees	$0.015	Company + key employee extraction
Company — AI enriched	$0.035	Company + employees + Claude AI analysis

Plus standard Apify platform compute costs (~$0.002-0.005/company with residential proxies).

Example: Enriching 100 companies with employees = $0.01 + (100 x $0.015) = $1.51

Use cases

• Sales prospecting: Enrich your CRM with company data and find the right decision-makers
• Market research: Map competitive landscapes across industries
• Recruiting: Identify companies by size, growth, and leadership structure
• Lead scoring: Use AI ICP matching to prioritize outreach
• CRM enrichment pipelines: Feed structured company data into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive via Apify integrations

Integrations

This actor works with all Apify integrations:

• Webhooks — trigger when run completes
• API — call programmatically from any language
• Zapier / Make / n8n — connect to 1000+ apps
• Google Sheets — export directly to spreadsheets
• Slack — get notifications on completion

Proxy configuration

Residential proxies are strongly recommended for LinkedIn. The actor defaults to Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy group. Using datacenter proxies will result in significantly higher block rates.

Technical details

• Python 3.12, async Playwright with stealth mode
• Residential proxy rotation with session management
• Random delays (3-8s) between requests to avoid detection
• Exponential backoff retry (5 attempts) on failures
• Graceful degradation: missing fields return null, never crash
• Target success rate: 85%+

Limitations

• LinkedIn actively blocks automated access — occasional failures are expected
• Employee data depends on what's publicly visible on the company's People tab
• AI enrichment requires your own Anthropic API key (get one at console.anthropic.com)
• Some very small companies may have limited public data
• Rate: ~10-20 companies per minute with residential proxies

Legal

• Extracts only publicly visible company information (no login required)
• Does not access personal data beyond publicly listed professional information
• GDPR: professional business context under legitimate interest basis
• Does not store or cache LinkedIn data — output goes directly to your Apify dataset
