Keyapi Linkedin Company Analysis

Explore and analyze LinkedIn companies — retrieve company profiles, employee directories, published posts, job listings with rich filters, job counts, and individual job details.

Explore and analyze LinkedIn companies — from company profiles and employee directories to job market intelligence and content activity.

This skill provides comprehensive LinkedIn company intelligence using the KeyAPI MCP service. It enables retrieval of company profiles, employee lists, published posts, job listings with advanced filtering, job counts, and individual job details — all through a unified, cache-first workflow.

Use this skill when you need to:

• Retrieve a company's full LinkedIn profile including size, industry, and description
• Browse a company's employee directory for talent mapping or org research
• Analyze a company's published content and thought leadership activity
• Discover open job listings with filters for role type, experience level, and location
• Track job posting volume as a proxy for company growth or hiring momentum
• Retrieve detailed job descriptions including requirements and responsibilities

Workflow

Step 1 — Identify Analysis Targets and Select Nodes

Clarify the research objective and map it to one or more nodes. Typical entry points:

• Company overview: Use get_company_profile with company (name) or company_id.
• Hiring intelligence: Use get_company_jobs with filters, then get_job_detail for specific roles.
• Growth signals: Use get_company_job_count to track hiring volume over time.
• Content audit: Use get_company_posts with sort_by: "recent" or "top".
• Org research: Use get_company_people to browse the employee directory.

Company Identifier: company vs. company_id

get_company_profile accepts either:

• company — the company's URL slug (e.g., rapidapi from https://www.linkedin.com/company/rapidapi). Resolves in a single request.
• company_id — the numeric internal ID. Using company_id costs 1 additional internal request.

All other company nodes (get_company_people, get_company_posts, get_company_jobs, get_company_job_count) require company_id. Call get_company_profile first with the company slug to obtain the company_id.

get_job_detail Identifier

get_job_detail requires a job_id — the numeric ID found in the job listing URL (e.g., https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1234567890 → job_id: "1234567890"). Obtain it from get_company_jobs response data.

Step 2 — Retrieve API Schema

Before calling any node, inspect its input schema to confirm required parameters and available filter options:

bash

node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --schema <tool_name>

# Examples
node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --schema get_company_profile
node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --schema get_company_jobs
node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --schema get_job_detail

Step 3 — Call APIs and Cache Results Locally

Execute tool calls and persist responses to the local cache to avoid redundant API calls.

Calling a tool:

bash

# Single call with pretty output
node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --tool <tool_name> \
  --params '<json_args>' --pretty

# Force fresh data, skip cache
node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --tool <tool_name> \
  --params '<json_args>' --no-cache --pretty

Example — get company profile by slug:

bash

node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --tool get_company_profile \
  --params '{"company":"openai"}' --pretty

Example — get company jobs with filters:

bash

node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --tool get_company_jobs \
  --params '{"company_id":"783611","experience_level":"mid_senior","remote":"remote","job_type":"full_time","page":1}' --pretty

Example — get job detail with skills:

bash

node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --tool get_job_detail \
  --params '{"job_id":"1234567890","include_skills":true}' --pretty

Example — get company posts sorted by recent:

bash

node scripts/run.js --platform linkedin --tool get_company_posts \
  --params '{"company_id":"10649600","sort_by":"recent","page":1}' --pretty

Pagination:

Endpoint	Pagination parameter	Notes
get_company_people, get_company_posts, get_company_jobs	page (int, 1-indexed)	Increment page to fetch subsequent results
get_company_profile, get_company_job_count, get_job_detail	—	Single-call response

get_company_jobs filter reference:

Parameter	Options	Description
sort_by	recent, relevant	Sort order for job listings
date_posted	anytime, past_month, past_week, past_24_hours	Recency filter
experience_level	internship, entry_level, associate, mid_senior, director, executive	Seniority filter
remote	onsite, remote, hybrid	Work location type
job_type	full_time, part_time, contract, temporary, volunteer, internship, other	Employment type
easy_apply	boolean string	Filter for LinkedIn Easy Apply jobs
under_10_applicants	boolean string	Filter for low-competition roles
fair_chance_employer	boolean string	Filter for fair chance employers

Cache directory structure:

text

.keyapi-cache/
└── YYYY-MM-DD/
    ├── get_company_profile/
    │   └── {params_hash}.json
    ├── get_company_people/
    │   └── {params_hash}.json
    ├── get_company_posts/
    │   └── {params_hash}.json
    ├── get_company_jobs/
    │   └── {params_hash}.json
    ├── get_company_job_count/
    │   └── {params_hash}.json
    └── get_job_detail/
        └── {params_hash}.json

Cache-first policy:

Before every API call, check whether a cached result already exists for the given parameters. If a valid cache file exists, load from disk and skip the API call.

Step 4 — Synthesize and Report Findings

After collecting all API responses, produce a structured company intelligence report:

1. Company Overview — Name, industry, company size, headquarters, founding year, description, LinkedIn follower count.
2. People & Org Structure — Employee count, key roles identified, department distribution (where available).
3. Content Activity — Post frequency, top-performing content, engagement patterns, brand messaging themes.
4. Hiring Intelligence — Open role count, role distribution by function and seniority, remote vs. onsite ratio, hiring velocity signals.
5. Job Market Signals — Roles with fewer than 10 applicants (opportunity windows), easy-apply availability, date-posted distribution.
6. Actionable Insights — Growth indicators, talent demand patterns, competitive positioning signals.

Common Rules

Rule	Detail
Company ID resolution	get_company_people, get_company_posts, get_company_jobs, get_company_job_count all require company_id. Call get_company_profile first with the company slug to obtain it.
get_company_profile identifier	Pass company (URL slug) for a single-request lookup. company_id is also accepted but costs 1 additional internal request.
get_job_detail ID source	Extract job_id from the job listing URL or from get_company_jobs response data.
get_company_posts sort	Use sort_by: "top" for highest-engagement posts; sort_by: "recent" for latest activity.
Pagination	All list endpoints use page (1-indexed). No pagination token required.
Success check	code = 0 → success. Any other value → failure. Always check the response code before processing data.
Retry on 500	If code = 500, retry the identical request up to 3 times with a 2–3 second pause between attempts before reporting the error.
Cache first	Always check the local .keyapi-cache/ directory before issuing a live API call.

Error Handling

Code	Meaning	Action
0	Success	Continue workflow normally
400	Bad request — invalid or missing parameters	Validate input against the tool schema; ensure company_id is provided where required
401	Unauthorized — token missing or expired	Confirm KEYAPI_TOKEN is set correctly; visit keyapi.ai to renew
403	Forbidden — plan quota exceeded or feature restricted	Review plan limits at keyapi.ai
404	Resource not found — company or job may not exist	Verify the company slug or company_id; confirm the job listing is still active
429	Rate limit exceeded	Wait 60 seconds, then retry
500	Internal server error	Retry up to 3 times with a 2–3 second pause; if it persists, log the full request and response and skip this node
Other non-0	Unexpected error	Log the full response body and surface the error message to the user
