​
Use Case:

Build a comprehensive list of companies to target for business opportunities.

​
Possible values:

  • "num_of_followers": ["1-50", "51-100", "101-1000", "1001-5000", "5001+"]
  • "headcounts": ["1-10", "11-50", "51-200", "201-500", "501-1000", "1001-5000", "5001-10000", "10 000+"]

​
Additional information:

  • 20 Parallel processing supported (multiple threads)
  • 1 company from results list = 1 credit
  • First 1600 companies will be searched
  • Companies with 0 employees and bad/null website (except cases when company hosted that website-aggregator) will not be shown
    • List of bad websites is listed below:
    • 'bit.ly', 'goo.gl', 'linktr.ee', 'buff.ly', 'sites.google.com', 'meta.com', 'facebook.com', 'instagram.com', 'linkedin.com', 'youtube.com', 'meetup.com', 'wixsite.com', 'wordpress.com', 'twitter.com', 'microage.ca', 'google.com', 'business.site', 'vimeo.com', 'medium.com', 'behance.net', 'github.io', 'calendly.com', 'upwork.com'
  • Companies Headcount:
    • Company headcount is shown as headcount text field from l-in/about page.
    • In the case of filtering companies on sales navigator, it filters depending on the exact headcount (exact number of employees).
    • e.g. Company A has 600 employees on L-In, and states its headcount range is 1000-5000.
      • 1. Sales Navigator will show this company when filtering 500-1000 companies
      • 2. L-In will show exact headcount as 600 and range-headcount as 1000-5000
      • 3. This endpoint will output headcount as p.2
  • Supported locations:
    • List of Supported Locations.
    • In case of inputting a location which is not listed you will receive a ValidationError (free request), with Hint what location you need to edit.
  • Supported industries:
    • List of Supported Industries. Use industry_name column as input.
    • In case of inputting an industry which is not listed you will receive a ValidationError (free request), with Hint what industry you need to edit.
  • Supported departments:
  • limit_by rules:
    • limit_by should be > 1 and < 1600
  • offset_by rules:
    • offset_by should be > 0 and < 1599
  • Limit_by, offset_by additional info:
    • Without limit_by and offset_by parameters all companies from filters will be searched
    • Unsutable (bad website, or 0 headcount) companies will not be skipped with limit_by logic, but won’t be charged or outputted.
      • e.g. limit_by = 5, offset_by = 200, and 3 of these companies do not have websites. Then you will see only 2 companies (despite the fact limit_by = 5).
      • Best Practice to use (Limit_by + Offset_by) is implementing pagination for Researcher’s workflow. For example, page 1 stands for 0-25 results, page 2 for 25-50, etc.
  • keywords logic:
    • keywords from list of inputs will be separated in SN search header with “OR” parameter:
      • e.g. [“academy”, “technician”] will be passed to SN as “(academy) OR (technician)”.
      • Except cases when 1 word is passed. e.g. [“world”] will be passed to SN as “world” (without parentheses)
    • you are able to pass discrete logic, for example:
      • [“(education AND management)”, “(project AND office)”]
        • then SN search will look like: “(education AND management) OR (project AND office)”
      • same with NOT, OR, AND operators
    • validations:
      • keyword length must be 40 symbols
      • keywords count must be 10
      • keywords must be without special characters (!@#$%^\\\\*(){}[]/\|)
  • headcount parameters:
    • List if supported headcounts ["1-10", "11-50", "51-200", "201-500", "501-1000", "1001-5000", "5001-10000", "10 000+"]
  • Caching:
    • For cases when companies appear in a different order or are duplicated with each subsequent request (after a certain period of time), caching of the order of companies has been added.
    • The actuality of the company data is 100%.
    • The order remains valid for the next 30 days, from 1 request.
    • To check when the order of companies was cached, the original key time_cached (type: timestamp) is used. If this is the first request that was not taken from the cache, then time_cached=null.
    • Results caching depends only on the match of the following parameters: headcounts, locations, industries, keywords
  • Custom Parameter:
    • With a custom parameter you will receive 200 responses specifying that you need to refine your search, for cases when the count of companies by that criteria is > 1600. Such requests are also paid (fixed to 3 credits). Example of the output:
{
    "companies": [],
    "message": "Please refine your search",
    "amount": 3,
    "results_count": 198806
}
  • parameter strict
    • with the strict parameter: [“company_locations”] will perform post-filtering on a strict occurrence of company_locations.
  • parameter exclude_ids
  • parameter exclude_domains
    • exclude companies by domains
