About the LinkedIn Search companies API

Search LinkedIn companies by keyword with optional location filtering, returning normalized company records. AnyAPI routes each request across 2 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $5 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of LinkedIn search companies calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.0 seconds across 4,913 measured calls.

It costs from $5 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.
