What is the LinkedIn Company Scraper?
The InsightSocial LinkedIn Company Scraper is a free Chrome extension that exports firmographic data from LinkedIn company pages — company name, industry, size range, headquarters, founding year, website, specialties, description, and follower count — plus the updates the company publishes. Everything exports to CSV, Excel, or JSON, one clean row per company.
It works by reading what your own logged-in LinkedIn session already sees on the company page. Company pages are public business profiles that organizations maintain themselves, so the scraper is essentially structuring information the company chose to publish. No LinkedIn API, no credentials shared, no access beyond what your account can view.
The payoff is account research at spreadsheet speed: instead of tab-hopping between twenty company pages and retyping details, you capture each one as a structured record. Sales teams build target-account lists, investors assemble due-diligence snapshots, and researchers turn an industry's company landscape into a dataset. For how company data feeds an outreach workflow, see the LinkedIn sales prospecting guide.
Who is it for?
- Competitive analysts mapping a category's company landscape with structured firmographics
- Market researchers analyzing industry composition, company sizes, and positioning
- B2B sales teams researching target accounts before outreach
- Investors running due diligence on company size, focus, and market position
- Recruiters identifying hiring companies and understanding their structure
- Academic researchers building firmographic datasets for industry and labor-market studies
Key Benefits
- Full firmographic record — industry, size range, headquarters, founding year, and website in one pass
- Specialties and description — the company's own account of what it does, captured verbatim
- Follower count as a signal — gauge audience size and brand reach on LinkedIn
- Company posts too — the same sidebar can scrape the page's updates for content analysis
- CSV / Excel / JSON export — build company databases in Sheets, your CRM, or a research pipeline
- Public data, your session — captures only what any logged-in visitor to the page sees
How to Use LinkedIn Company Scraper
Step 1: Install the Extension
Add InsightSocial from the Chrome Web Store. The icon appears in your browser toolbar after install.
Step 2: Navigate to a Company Page
Open any LinkedIn company page (linkedin.com/company/name). The About tab carries the richest business detail, but the scraper works from the main page.
Step 3: Open the InsightSocial Sidebar
Click the InsightSocial icon. The sidebar opens on the right and automatically detects you're on a company page.
Step 4: Configure Your Scrape
Choose what to capture: the company's profile details, or its recent posts and updates if you're studying how the brand communicates.
Step 5: Start Scraping
Click "Start Scraping". The extension captures the company record — name, industry, size, headquarters, founded year, website, specialties, description, and follower count.
Step 6: Export Results
Click "Export" and pick CSV (drop into Google Sheets or your CRM), .xlsx (native Excel), or JSON (for scripts and BI tools). Every scrape also stays in your InsightSocial portal account history.
Frequently Asked Questions
What data can I extract from a LinkedIn company page?
- Company name and LinkedIn page URL
- Industry and company size range
- Headquarters location and founding year
- Company website
- Specialties (the focus areas the company lists)
- Company description
- Follower count
Does it show exact employee counts?
LinkedIn displays company size as a range (for example, 51–200 employees), and that range is what gets captured. Exact headcounts aren't published on standard company pages, so the scraper doesn't claim them — no tool reading the public page can.
Can I extract the company's employees?
The company scraper captures company-level data, not people. To research the humans behind an account — decision-makers, team structure, tenure — open their individual profiles and use the LinkedIn Profile Scraper. Combining the two gives you full account intelligence: the firm's profile plus its key people.
Can I scrape many companies in one go?
You scrape one company page at a time — navigate, scrape, move to the next. Building a list of 20–30 target accounts is still a matter of minutes rather than an afternoon of copy-paste, and each company lands as a consistent row in your export.
How many companies can I scrape per month?
Scraping is unlimited on every plan — your monthly quota is export credits, one per exported row:
- Free plan: 500 export credits per month
- Pro Monthly: 10,000 export credits per month for $9.99/mo
- Pro Yearly: 10,000 export credits per month for $95.88/year ($7.99/mo)
Where is my scraped data stored?
Company records sync to your private InsightSocial account, so you can re-open, search, and re-export them anytime from the portal. Only you can see what you've collected — we don't sell or share user data. The scrape runs inside your own logged-in LinkedIn session; we never see your password and never call LinkedIn's API on your behalf.
Is scraping company pages legal?
Company pages are business profiles that organizations publish deliberately for public consumption, which makes this among the lowest-risk data on LinkedIn to collect. Still, LinkedIn's Terms of Service restrict automated collection, so scrape at human-like volumes and use the data for legitimate business research. Comply with applicable laws, and remember that follower counts and descriptions are the company's public statements — quote them accurately.
