Search for companies

Find companies by what they are called, by what they do, or purely by their firmographics - and get back the canonical company each time: its LinkedIn company page URL plus key details. Pass a name to resolve messy user input, pass a phrase like "sales engagement platform" to find companies describing themselves that way, or pass no keywords at all and build a target list from filters alone (e.g. every software company in France with 51-200 employees).

Cost: 0.5 credits per call (billed only when at least one company is returned; empty results are free).

Input: at least one of keywords, location, geoId, companySize or industryId is required (page alone is not enough).

• keywords - matched against the company page: its name, tagline and description. So "precision outbound" returns companies whose about-text says it, not just ones with it in their name. Optional when you filter by firmographics instead.
• location - filter matches by location text (e.g. "France"). Optional.
• geoId - filter by LinkedIn geo ID (resolve one with /enrichment/linkedin-geo-id); overrides location. Optional.
• companySize - comma-separated size bands to filter by: 1-10, 11-50, 51-200, 201-500, 501-1000, 1001-5000, 5001-10000, 10001+. Optional.
• industryId - one or more comma-separated LinkedIn industry IDs. Optional.
• page - 1-based page number. Optional.

Output - data contains:

• elements - array of matching companies, each: name, linkedinUrl, universalName (the /company/<slug> handle), industry, location, followers, logoUrl (any field may be null).
• pagination - totalPages, totalElements, pageNumber, pageSize. Page through results by incrementing the page parameter up to totalPages.

Use cases:

• Resolve name to LinkedIn URL - feed the URL into /enrichment/firmographic, /enrichment/people-search, or a signal to enrich or monitor the company.
• Find companies by what they do - search the phrase your market uses ("sales engagement platform", "fractional CFO") to surface competitors, partners or acquisition targets that never mention it in their name.
• Build a target account list - skip keywords and filter on companySize + industryId + geoId to page through every company matching your ICP, then feed them into signals or enrichment.
• Company picker / autocomplete - power a type-ahead in your own app so users pick a company instead of pasting a URL.
• Canonicalize & de-duplicate - match your own company records against their authoritative LinkedIn page.
