Get the employees of a LinkedIn company

To list a company's employees on LinkedIn, call GET /v1/linkedin/company/people with the company's numeric company_id. It returns the members who list the company as their employer, 10 a page, each with name, headline, location, profile picture, profile URL and premium and Top Voice flags, plus the total number of such members. A plain page costs 100 credits.

How do I find the company ID?

Call GET /v1/linkedin/company (50 credits) with the company page URL, for example https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/. It returns the numeric company ID that this endpoint needs. Microsoft's is 1035.

If you only know the company's website, GET /v1/linkedin/company/by-domain looks the page up from the domain.

Make the request

curl "https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/linkedin/company/people?company_id=1035" \
  -H "x-api-key: $INSIGHTSOCIAL_API_KEY"

What comes back

A real response from 2026-10-14 for Microsoft (company_id=1035), shortened: one person instead of 10, long URLs and the cursor cut, and the member replaced with a placeholder.

How do I get more than 10 people?

Send pagination.next_cursor back as cursor, with the same company_id, and stop when pagination.has_more is false. Each plain page is 100 credits.

import os
import requests

BASE = "https://api.insightsocial.app/v1"
HEADERS = {"x-api-key": os.environ["INSIGHTSOCIAL_API_KEY"]}

params = {"company_id": "1035"}
people = []
for _ in range(10):
    body = requests.get(f"{BASE}/linkedin/company/people", params=params, headers=HEADERS, timeout=120).json()
    people += [item["author"] for item in body["data"]["items"]]
    if not body["pagination"]["has_more"]:
        break
    params["cursor"] = body["pagination"]["next_cursor"]

A large company has tens of thousands of members, so set a page limit before you start. See Pagination for the full rules.

What are the limits?

• Self-reported employer. The list is members who list the company on their profile. Headlines are the member's own text and can name a different employer: one row in our Microsoft test had a headline naming another company. Check GET /v1/linkedin/profile/experiences when current employment matters.
• Follower counts are sparse. followers was null on 8 of 10 rows in our test, and approximate on the other 2. null means unknown, not zero. Add include=profile to get the exact follower count and the connection count (following) for every row, at a higher price.
• No join date. following and joined_at are null on a plain call.
• limit skips rows. limit (1 to 10) keeps the top N rows of a page, but the cursor still moves past all 10, so the skipped rows are not on the next page.
• No filters. You can't filter by title or location here. Use GET /v1/linkedin/search/people with current_company and title to narrow the list.

What can I build with it?

• Account-based prospecting. List the people at a target account, then filter headlines for the roles you sell to.
• Hiring and talent research. See which roles a company's members list and where they are based.
• Org snapshots. Store data.total per company each month to track how many members list it, alongside GET /v1/linkedin/company/employees-count.
