Search → Search Companies
AI-generatedOverview
The node provides enhanced integration with LinkedIn's Marketing API v2, enabling various LinkedIn-related operations within n8n workflows. Specifically, the Search Companies operation under the Search resource allows users to perform company searches on LinkedIn based on a query string.
This operation is useful for scenarios such as:
- Finding companies matching specific keywords or criteria for lead generation.
- Researching competitors or potential partners by searching company profiles.
- Automating data enrichment workflows by retrieving company information dynamically.
For example, a marketing team could use this node to automatically search for companies in a particular industry and then trigger follow-up actions like sending connection requests or saving company details to a CRM.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Search Query | The text query used to search for companies on LinkedIn. This is a required string input. |
| Max Results | Maximum number of company results to return. Accepts numbers from 1 to 100. Default is 20. |
| Start Index | The index of the first result to return, allowing pagination through results. Minimum 0. |
Output
The output is an array of JSON objects representing the search results for companies matching the query. Each item corresponds to one company found by the search.
- The
jsonfield contains the detailed company data returned by the LinkedIn API via the integrated service. - There is no binary data output for this operation.
The exact structure of each company object depends on LinkedIn's API response but typically includes company name, ID, description, industry, location, and other relevant metadata.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key credential for the external "N8N Tools API" service that acts as a proxy/enhancement layer over LinkedIn's API.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials for LinkedIn API access configured in n8n.
- The node performs an initial validation call to the external API to verify subscription and API key validity before executing the search.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and active.
- API rate limits or quota exceeded: LinkedIn APIs have usage limits; hitting these may cause errors or incomplete results.
- Empty or no results: Ensure the search query is valid and specific enough to return results. Also check pagination parameters (
Max Results,Start Index) are set appropriately. - Network or connectivity issues: The node relies on external API calls; network problems can cause failures.
- Unhandled resource or operation: Using unsupported resources or operations will throw an error indicating the resource is not implemented.
