LinkedIn Company Scraper: Enrich B2B Leads with Employee & Growth Data

If you work in B2B sales, you know the pain.

You get a lead: john@acme.com. Now you have to:

1. Google "Acme".
2. Find their LinkedIn page.
3. Check their employee count (Are they a startup or an enterprise?).
4. Check their HQ location (What time zone?).
5. Copy-paste it all into Salesforce.

This takes 5-10 minutes per lead. If you have 50 leads a day, that's your whole day.

In this guide, we'll build a LinkedIn Company Scraper using SociaVault to automate this entire process.

The Strategy

We will write a script that:

1. Takes a LinkedIn Company URL.
2. Scrapes the core firmographic data.
3. Returns a clean JSON object ready for your CRM.

Prerequisites

You'll need a SociaVault API key. You can get one here.

Step 1: Scrape the Company Data

We'll use the /scrape/linkedin/company endpoint.

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_SOCIAVAULT_API_KEY';
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.sociavault.com/v1';

async function enrichCompany(linkedinUrl) {
  console.log(`🏢 Enriching: ${linkedinUrl}`);

  try {
    const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/scrape/linkedin/company`, {
      params: { url: linkedinUrl },
      headers: { 'x-api-key': API_KEY }
    });

    if (response.data.success) {
      const data = response.data.data;
      
      // Extract key fields
      const companyProfile = {
        name: data.name,
        description: data.description,
        industry: data.industry,
        website: data.website,
        headcount: data.employee_count,
        followers: data.follower_count,
        locations: data.locations
      };

      return companyProfile;
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error enriching company:", error.message);
  }
}

Step 2: Process a List of Leads

Now let's imagine you have a CSV of leads.

const leads = [
  'https://www.linkedin.com/company/stripe',
  'https://www.linkedin.com/company/airbnb',
  'https://www.linkedin.com/company/notion-hq'
];

async function processLeads() {
  console.log("🚀 Starting Batch Enrichment...");
  
  for (const url of leads) {
    const profile = await enrichCompany(url);
    
    if (profile) {
      console.log(`\n✅ Enriched: ${profile.name}`);
      console.log(`   - Industry: ${profile.industry}`);
      console.log(`   - Employees: ${profile.headcount}`);
      console.log(`   - Website: ${profile.website}`);
      
      // In a real app, you would push this to HubSpot/Salesforce here
    }
  }
}

processLeads();

Sample Output

🚀 Starting Batch Enrichment...

🏢 Enriching: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stripe
✅ Enriched: Stripe
   - Industry: Financial Services
   - Employees: 8,000+
   - Website: https://stripe.com

🏢 Enriching: https://www.linkedin.com/company/notion-hq
✅ Enriched: Notion
   - Industry: Software Development
   - Employees: 500-1,000
   - Website: https://notion.so

Advanced: Spotting Growth Signals

One of the most powerful things you can track is Headcount Growth.

If a company goes from 50 to 100 employees in 6 months, they are growing fast and likely have budget. If they drop from 100 to 80, they might be in trouble.

By running this script once a month and comparing the headcount number, you can build a "Growth Signal" alert system for your sales team.
