## FAQ

### How do I list the companies a LinkedIn member follows?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/profile/interests/companies with the member's LinkedIn profile URL in the url parameter. The response returns a list of every company page the member follows, each with the company name, page URL, and follower count.

### What fields come back for each followed company?

Each entry returns the company name, the LinkedIn company page URL, and the company's follower count. Use the page URL to fan out to /v1/linkedin/company for full firmographics like industry, size, and headquarters.

### How do I paginate through followed companies?

Add the page query parameter (integer) to walk through the list. Start at page=1 and increment until the response returns an empty array, which marks the end of the companies the member follows.

### How much does this endpoint cost per request?

Each page costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, regardless of how many companies come back in that page. New accounts start with 100 free credits and no credit card, enough for 20 requests before you upgrade.

### Can I use followed companies as an intent signal for sales?

Yes, the companies a prospect follows are a useful intent and interest signal for social selling and account research. Merge the list into your CRM to segment leads by the vendors, competitors, and industries they already track.
