How it works

This Actor uses a managed Google search restricted to linkedin.com/company and combines your keyword, industry, and location inputs into one search query. It routes the Google domain and language with the country input. It returns unique public company pages, and when enrich is enabled, it fetches additional public company fields via ScrapeCreators from the LinkedIn company page. Results are stored in the default dataset, and the run summary is stored in the default key-value store.

The implementation is cookieless and uses public sources. The overview dataset view presents company rows with companyName, industry, headquarters, employeeCount, website, linkedinUrl, source, enriched, and scrapedAt.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. Open the live Pricing tab in the Apify console to review the current event pricing and any platform usage charges that apply to your run.

Charged events include:

• Actor start
• Company found
• Company enriched

For example, a run that returns twenty-five companies with enrichment turned off includes one actor start event and twenty-five company-found events. If enrichment is enabled for those same twenty-five companies, the run also includes twenty-five company-enriched events.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor is available through Apify MCP as a tool for public LinkedIn company search and optional company enrichment.

Exact Actor identity: khadinakbar/linkedin-company-search-scraper

Tool description: search public LinkedIn company pages from keyword, industry, and location inputs, then return one structured record per matched company. The output includes discovery fields such as company name, LinkedIn URL, rank, and snippet, plus optional enriched company fields when enabled.

Find public LinkedIn companies for "renewable energy" in Austin, return up to 15 results, and include enrichment so I can review headquarters, website, and employee count before I choose which companies to pass to the next step.

Output interpretation:

• Use companyName, linkedinUrl, rank, and snippet to review the search match.
• Use enriched, industry, employeeCount, companySize, website, and headquarters for company-level context.
• Use scrapedAt to understand when the public company data was collected.

Provenance and scope:

• Search results come from public LinkedIn company pages surfaced through Google.
• Enriched fields come from the public company page when enrichment is enabled.
• The Actor focuses on companies, not people profiles.

Pagination and cost guidance:

• Set maxResults to match the number of companies you want returned.
• Lower values keep discovery runs compact.
• Enrichment adds one charged event per company when enabled.

API example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
  token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN,
});

const input = {
  keywords: 'fintech payments',
  industry: 'Software Development',
  location: 'Berlin',
  country: 'de',
  maxResults: 10,
  enrich: true,
};

const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/linkedin-company-search-scraper').call(input);

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

console.log('Dataset items:');
console.log(items);

Best results and outcome guidance

Use focused search terms that describe the company segment you want to find. Combine a short keyword phrase with a specific industry or location when you already know the market segment. Set country to the ISO alpha-2 code for the market you want searched. Keep maxResults aligned with the number of companies you want to review, and enable enrich when the workflow needs company-level firmographics such as employee count, website, and headquarters.

Design note

I found that the output contract includes both companies and summary references, while the dataset records themselves carry fields like query, companyName, linkedinUrl, and scrapedAt. That made it clear the README should separate dataset records from the run summary.

FAQ

Is this Actor for companies or people?

This Actor is for public LinkedIn company pages. For people-focused workflows, use a profile scraper.

What should I enter as input?

Use keywords, industry, and location to describe the company set you want to find. Use country to route the search market, maxResults to cap how many companies you want back, and enrich when you want deeper company fields.

What comes back if I only want discovery results?

You still receive one record per matched company with discovery fields such as companyName, linkedinUrl, rank, snippet, and source. Enriched company fields are populated when enrich is enabled.

How do I connect this to another Actor?

Use the returned public company URLs as the handoff into a downstream workflow. The verified related actor in this README is a natural next step when your process accepts a public LinkedIn URL or ID and needs more profile-level context.
