Search LinkedIn Companies

Search LinkedIn for companies by keyword, industry, location, and employee headcount range, returning up to 25 results per call with a company ID for each match. When headcount or industry filters are used, the search routes to Sales Navigator for richer results. You can also paste a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company search URL to run it directly. Returns an empty array when nothing matches.
