# LinkedIn Company Bulk API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkedin/company-bulk)

> Returns up to 25 LinkedIn company pages in one call, each as the same canonical author /v1/linkedin/company returns: `author.id` (the numeric company id), `username`, `display_name`, `bio`, `avatar_url`, `followers`, `location`, `url` and the About tab in `author.ext`, including `company_type`, `tagline`, `founded_year`, `public_phone`, `headquarters` and `locations`. `author.verified` and `author.ext.page_active` are null on this endpoint, each office's `lat_long` carries null `latitude` and `longitude`, and hashtag `follower_count` values are null. Companies come back in the order you sent them; duplicates are merged. A company that has no page is left out and named on `data._warnings` as not found, and costs nothing. A company that could not be fetched just now is left out too, named on `data._warnings` as one to send again, and costs nothing; if none could be fetched for that reason the call answers 503 at no charge, so send the same request again. `data.total` is the number of companies returned.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/linkedin/company/bulk` costs 5 credits for each company returned, the same rate as /v1/linkedin/company. The call holds 5 credits for each distinct company you send and refunds the ones that are not found; a call where every company has no page is a 404 at no charge, and one where none could be fetched just now is a 503 at no charge. and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
