# linkedin_get_company - Veezee docs

Fetch one company's LinkedIn page: name, description, industry, employee count, headquarters, website, founding year, specialities, and the URN/numeric id you need for linkedin_search_people company filters. identifier accepts a company URL, the slug after /company/ (e.g. 'microsoft'), or a website domain like 'microsoft.com'; numeric ids and URNs are search-filter inputs, not fetch identifiers. 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 linkedin_search_people's current_company filter with keywords (the filter resolves names) or give the exact slug. For the company's posts, use linkedin_get_posts with the same identifier (URL, slug, or website domain all work there too).

## Parameters

| Param | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `identifier` | yes | `string` | Company URL, slug (after /company/), or website domain (e.g. 'microsoft.com'). Numeric ids/URNs are not fetchable; use them only in linkedin_search_people company filters. |
| `freshness` | no | `string` | recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). |
| `max_credits` | no | `integer` | Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling. |

## Errors

REST returns `application/problem+json`; MCP returns the same content as an error result. `message` is written as the next-turn instruction.

| Code | HTTP status | Retriable | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `INVALID_INPUT` | 400 | no | A parameter failed validation. Check param and message for what to fix. |
| `NOT_FOUND` | 404 | no | Nothing matches the given identifier or URL. |
| `UNAUTHORIZED` | 401 | no | Missing, invalid, or revoked API key. |
| `NOT_ENTITLED` | 403 | no | This account is not enabled for the platform you called. |
| `INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS` | 402 | no | Your balance can't cover this call's quote. Check get_usage or add credits. |
| `QUOTE_EXCEEDS_MAX_CREDITS` | 402 | no | The call's quote is higher than the max_credits you set. Nothing was charged. |
| `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REQUIRED` | 400 | no | This is a metered call; send an Idempotency-Key header. |
| `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED` | 409 | no | That Idempotency-Key was already used with different arguments. Use a new key for a new call. |
| `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT` | 429 | yes | Too many calls in flight for this key's plan. Wait for one to finish. |
| `RATE_LIMITED` | 429 | yes | Too many calls per minute for this key's plan. Back off and retry. |
| `TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED` | 403 | no | A trial-only limit was hit (concurrency, rate, search size, or realtime fetches). |
| `BUDGET_EXHAUSTED` | 503 | no | A configured spend budget has been used up. |
| `UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE` | 502 | yes | LinkedIn data wasn't reachable. Safe to retry. |
| `PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE` | 413 | no | The request or response exceeded the size limit. |
| `INTERNAL` | 500 | yes | Something failed on our side. Safe to retry. |

Errors a payment can fix add fields to this shape. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS, TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED, and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED carry `upgrade_url` (give it to your human) and `offer`, its machine-readable twin; RATE_LIMITED and CONCURRENCY_LIMIT carry both on trial accounts only, where a paid plan raises the limit. `offer` holds `offer_version` (1), `reason` (the error code), `currency` ("usd"), `recommended` (which pack to lead with, currently `flex`), `packs` (pack, mode, price_usd_cents, credits or credits_per_month, and `when`, a short label for when that pack fits), `rails` (currently `stripe_checkout`), `checkout_url` (the same account-bound link as `upgrade_url`), `resume`, and `refund_policy`. Follow `offer.resume` after payment: INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS retries the same call with the SAME Idempotency-Key; TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED retry with a fresh key; the two limit codes clear on their own with back-off, payment only raises the limit. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS also sets `credits_required`: the credits the failed call needed. The failed attempt charged nothing.
