LiveHow to Research a Company on LinkedIn Before Your First Call (API Guide)
// WHEN TO USE
Problem
You have a company name or LinkedIn URL but no structured intel. Manually reading a company page gives you a paragraph of "About" text, but not structured data you can filter, score, or feed to an AI. You need industry, headcount, specializations, headquarters, and website in a format your pipeline can use.
// WHAT YOU GET
Outcome
A single call that returns the full company profile as structured JSON: industry, employee count, description, specializations, locations, website, and founding year. Use it to filter companies by size and industry before enriching people, to feed company context into AI-drafted outreach, or to build an account-level ICP scoring model. Running it alongside search also cuts the toolstack down to one bill instead of two.

FAQ
- What data does get-company-profile return?
- get-company-profile returns structured company data including company name, LinkedIn URL, website, industry, headcount range, description, specializations, locations, HQ and founding year.
- Can I enrich companies in bulk?
- Yes. Pass company IDs or URLs from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search into a loop or batch workflow. The result can then be filtered, scored or pushed into a CRM.
- Does this work with Sales Navigator account URLs?
- Yes. Sales Navigator account URLs are supported alongside standard LinkedIn company URLs.
- How is get-company-profile different from a scraping Actor?
- A scraping Actor typically gives you an extraction workflow that you still need to run, configure and connect to the rest of your pipeline. get-company-profile is a native Periodix Action that returns structured company data directly into the workflow, so the search, enrichment and downstream steps can stay in the same stack.
- How does the cost compare with Apify?
- Apify uses a combination of platform subscription and usage-based pricing. Actors can charge per event, per result or based on platform usage, and some Actors can charge platform usage separately. With get-company-profile, company enrichment runs inside the same Periodix Actions plan as search and outreach, so there is no separate scraping platform subscription or Actor billing layer.
