LinkedIn Company Suggestions API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
How much does the LinkedIn Company Suggestions API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send query. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a LinkedIn login?
No. It reads public LinkedIn data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds linkedin.company.search, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
Your first LinkedIn call is free.
Up to 100 free credits to start, no card needed.
