# LinkedIn Search Companies API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkedin/search-companies)

> Returns company pages matching a keyword, as a canonical AuthorList: `username`, `display_name`, `bio` (tagline), `url`, `avatar_url`. Optional filters: `company_size` (LinkedIn headcount buckets), `has_jobs`, `industry_ids` (comma-separated ids from `/v1/linkedin/search/industry`), `geocode` (ids from `/v1/linkedin/search/location`). Page with `page`.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/linkedin/search/companies` costs 10 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
