get_company 4 credits
Fetch one company's LinkedIn page: name, description, industry, employee count, headquarters, website, founding year, specialities, and the URN/numeric id you need for search_people company filters. identifier accepts a company URL, the slug after /company/ (e.g. 'microsoft'), a numeric LinkedIn company id, or a website domain like 'microsoft.com'. Domains are resolved to a company and verified against that company's website: a domain identifier always QUOTES base+4 credits (set max_credits accordingly), and the 4-credit resolution surcharge is refunded at settlement when the domain was resolved before, so known domains settle at the base price. A domain that cannot be verified to a company returns INVALID_INPUT with the closest matches instead of a guessed company. Costs 4 credits base. This tool does not search by name: if you only have an approximate company name, use search_people's current_company filter (it resolves names) or give the exact slug. For the company's posts, use get_posts with the same identifier.
