## FAQ

### How do I get a company's open job count?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/company/job-count with a numeric company_id in the company_id parameter. The response is a single object with the number of job postings the company currently has open.

### What does this endpoint return, exactly?

A single number: the count of open job postings for that company_id. It does not return the postings themselves. For the actual list use /v1/linkedin/company/jobs, and for one posting's detail use /v1/linkedin/job.

### Why use job count instead of the full jobs list?

The job count is one small object, so it is cheap and fast to poll at scale. When you only need the hiring trend, not the postings, this endpoint lets you track many companies daily without paging through full job lists.

### How much does the job count endpoint cost?

Each request costs 5 credits on the advanced tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, enough for 20 job-count checks before you upgrade, which covers a solid panel of companies to watch.

### How do I track hiring velocity over time?

Call the endpoint on a schedule (daily or weekly) and store each day's open job count against the company_id. Charting the series shows hiring acceleration or slowdown, a leading signal for growth, funding, or contraction at a target account.
