# Get a LinkedIn company

`GET /v1/linkedin/companies`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.veezee.io`
- URL: `https://api.veezee.io/v1/linkedin/companies`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Fetch one company's LinkedIn page: name, description, industry, employee count, headquarters, website, founding year, specialities, and the URN/numeric id you need for linkedin_search_people company filters. identifier accepts a company URL, the slug after /company/ (e.g. 'microsoft'), or a website domain like 'microsoft.com'; numeric ids and URNs are search-filter inputs, not fetch identifiers. Domains are resolved to a company and verified against that company's website: a domain identifier always QUOTES base+4 credits (set max_credits accordingly), and the 4-credit resolution surcharge is refunded at settlement when the domain was resolved before, so known domains settle at the base price. A domain that cannot be verified to a company returns INVALID_INPUT with the closest matches instead of a guessed company. Costs 4 credits base. Do not guess a slug from a brand name: slugs are vanity strings and a famous name can belong to an unrelated company's page (linkedin.com/company/anthropic is a small investment fund, not the AI lab). When you only know the company's name, pass its website domain instead -- the verified form -- and sanity-check the returned industry and description against what you expected. This tool does not search by name: if you only have an approximate company name, use linkedin_search_people's current_company filter with keywords (names are matched natively there) or give the exact slug. For the company's posts, use linkedin_get_posts with the same identifier (URL, slug, or website domain all work there too).

## Query parameters

- `identifier` string, required: Company URL, slug (after /company/), or website domain (e.g. 'microsoft.com'). Numeric ids/URNs are not fetchable; use them only in linkedin_search_people company filters.
- `freshness` 'recent' | 'realtime': recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it.
- `max_credits` integer: Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling.
