What this endpoint answers

The B2B company layer: firmographics, LinkedIn reach and its 30-day trend, matched social handles across our own catalogs, a contactability score, and the reasons a row is not actionable yet. Filterable by country, industry, size band, contact availability and website presence.

This is a catalog read: it is served from the CRM Solid database in milliseconds, costs one budget unit, and reports how old the reading is in meta.cache_age_s. It needs the leads:read scope (Leads): LinkedIn company and contact data, and X follower-graph exports.

Good to know

  • Bulk lead data carries compliance obligations for the caller. These rows are personal data about identifiable people, collected from public sources and held by us under a legitimate-interest basis for our own outreach. Receiving them through this API does not transfer that basis: you need your own lawful ground, you must be able to identify the source and date for anything you store, and you must be able to honour an erasure or objection request against your copy. Suppression on our side does not delete yours.
  • No address in this API is generated, permuted or pattern-built. best_email is the highest-confidence address the crawler read off a real page; a company with none returns null rather than a guess.
  • LinkedIn is full of stale duplicate company pages. A row with a handful of linked staff, no follower count and no website is usually one of them; the flags array calls that out as 'likely duplicate page' rather than leaving it to look like a small business.
  • size and has_website are applied after the catalog filter, inside the scan window. A page can therefore return fewer rows than limit while still carrying a next_cursor - keep paging until next_cursor is null.
  • Pagination is depth-capped at 500 rows per filter combination. Narrow with country, industry or min_followers rather than paging deeper.
  • readiness measures how CONTACTABLE and verifiable a lead is, not how valuable the company is. We cannot know the second, and a score that pretended to would be trusted for exactly the decision it is worst at.
  • country_code is derived from the location string. An older free-text column held values like 'England', 'Ontario' and 'Gujarat', which is why hq.country_text is returned separately and is not filterable.

Parameters

Every value the call accepts, with the example the spec ships so the request runs as written.

NameInRequiredExampleWhat it does
countryqueryoptionalDEISO 3166-1 alpha-2, derived by the engine from the free-text location. LinkedIn writes 'City, Region' and rarely names a country, so filter on this rather than…
industryqueryoptionalSoftware DevelopmentIndustry exactly as LinkedIn labels it.
sizequeryoptional51-200 employeesEmployee band exactly as LinkedIn labels it. Applied inside the scan window - see the pagination note.
has_emailqueryoptionaltrueOnly companies with at least one non-suppressed contact address.
has_websitequeryoptional-Only companies with a resolved website domain. Applied inside the scan window.
has_decision_makerqueryoptional-Only companies where we can name a founder, C-level, VP or director.
has_socialqueryoptional-Only companies with a social handle that matched a row in one of our catalogs.
min_followersqueryoptional1000LinkedIn follower floor.
active_daysqueryoptional90Only companies that posted within this many days.
qqueryoptional-Substring match on company name, slug or website domain.
sortqueryoptionalfollowersreadiness orders by the columns the contactability score is built from, then applies the exact score to the page.
limitqueryoptional50Rows per page, 1-200.
cursorqueryoptional-Opaque cursor from meta.page.next_cursor.

Call it

Authenticate with a bearer token or the x-api-key header. Keys are server-to-server credentials. Never embed one in front-end code - call the API from your own backend and forward the result.

curl
curl "https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/leads/linkedin/companies" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer psk_live_..."
JavaScript
const res = await fetch("https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/leads/linkedin/companies", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY}`,
  },
});

if (!res.ok) {
  const { error } = await res.json();
  throw new Error(`${error.code}: ${error.message} (${error.request_id})`);
}

const { data, meta } = await res.json();
Python
import os

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/leads/linkedin/companies",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY']}"},
    timeout=30,
)
res.raise_for_status()

payload = res.json()
data, meta = payload["data"], payload["meta"]

Keys look like psk_live_... for production keys, psk_test_... for test keys and are minted in the panel.

What comes back

Success is { data, meta }. Failure is { error: { code, message, request_id } }. The body below is the spec's own example: the values in it are illustrative readings, not live numbers.

The meta block

  • request_idstringrequired

    Unique id for this request. Quote it in a support ticket.

  • generated_atstringrequired

    Server time the response was produced.

  • took_msintegerrequired

    Milliseconds spent server-side.

  • pagePageoptional
  • sourcestringoptional

    Which backend served the payload, for endpoints with more than one.

  • cache_age_sintegeroptional

    Age of the underlying data in seconds. 0 for live reads.

meta.page

  • limitintegerrequired

    Rows requested. Default 50, maximum 500.

  • next_cursorstringrequired

    Pass as ?cursor= to fetch the next page. null means the result set is exhausted, and it is the only reliable stop condition.

  • countintegerrequired

    Rows in this page.

  • totalintegeroptional

    Total matching rows. Present only when counting is cheap; never assume it is there.

List endpoints take ?limit= (max 500) and ?cursor=. Follow meta.page.next_cursor until it is null; cursors are opaque and signed.

When it fails

GET /leads/linkedin/companies documents 7 failure statuses. Branch on error.code, which is stable and enumerated; message is prose and may change.

  • 401Unauthorizedunauthorized | invalid_key

    No key was presented, or the key is unknown, revoked or expired.

  • 402PaymentRequiredpayment_required | subscription_inactive

    The key is valid but the plan behind it cannot serve the call: the included requests are spent and overage is switched off, capped or unfunded (payment_required), or the billing period lapsed and was not renewed (subscription_inactive). Retrying does not help; paying does. The X-Plan-* headers on this response say how far past the line you are.

    Carries X-Plan, X-Plan-Limit, X-Plan-Overage, X-Plan-Period-End, X-Plan-Remaining.

  • 403Forbiddenforbidden_scope | forbidden_ip

    The key is valid but not allowed to make this call: it lacks the scope, or the request came from an address outside the key's allowlist.

  • 422InvalidRequestinvalid_request

    A parameter is malformed, out of range or mutually exclusive with another. `details` names the offending fields.

  • 429RateLimitedrate_limited | quota_exceeded

    Either the burst ceiling for the current minute or the daily quota is spent. Distinguish with the code: rate_limited clears within the minute, quota_exceeded does not clear until 00:00 UTC.

    Carries Retry-After, X-Quota-Limit, X-Quota-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-Request-Id.

  • 500InternalErrorinternal_error

    Something failed on our side. Internals are never leaked; quote the request id.

  • 503Unavailableupstream_timeout | upstream_error | not_configured

    The request could not be served right now. BRANCH ON error.code, not on the status: 'upstream_timeout' means a source was too slow (this is what a catalog query hitting its 15-second statement timeout returns, so it is reachable from any endpoint that reads the corpus, not only the live-scrape ones) and the same call is worth retrying with backoff - narrowing it with a smaller limit, a filtered scope or a less popular account makes it far less likely; 'upstream_error' means a source was unreachable, so back off further; 'not_configured' means the capability has no backing service in this deployment, and retrying will never help.

Every response carries X-Request-Id and meta.request_id. Quote it in support requests.

Coverage and limits

This endpoint covers LinkedIn. Rate limits come from the tier on your key.

This call only draws on the ordinary per-minute and per-day columns. Every response reports where you stand in X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset and the X-Plan headers.

A key takes a minute to mint in the panel, no card. The reference covers authentication, the envelope, scopes, rate limits and every error code in one page.
