Integrate with Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API

Actions18

Overview

The "Search Companies" operation of this node allows users to search for LinkedIn companies using keywords and optional filters such as location, industry, and employee count. It sends a POST request to the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API endpoint dedicated to company searches. This node is useful for scenarios where you want to find companies matching specific criteria on LinkedIn, such as market research, lead generation, or competitive analysis.

Practical examples:

  • Searching for tech companies in a specific city.
  • Finding companies within a particular industry with a certain size range.
  • Generating a list of potential clients or partners based on keyword matches in company profiles.

Properties

Name Meaning
Keywords Any keyword(s) for searching companies. For exact phrase search, put keywords inside brackets.
Count Maximum number of results to return (default is 10).
Timeout Timeout duration in seconds for the API request (default is 300 seconds).
Additional Filters Optional filters to narrow down the search results:
- Location Location URN (e.g., geo:*) or location name to filter companies by geographic area.
- Industry Industry URN (e.g., industry:*) or industry name to filter companies by sector.
- Employee Count Company size ranges to filter by, selectable from options: 1-10, 11-50, 51-200, 201-500, 501-1000, 1001-5000, 5001-10000, 10001+.

Output

The output is a JSON array where each item represents a company matching the search criteria. Each company's data structure depends on the API response but typically includes company details such as name, industry, location, size, and other relevant LinkedIn company profile information.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API service.
  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication with the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.horizondatawave.ai.

Troubleshooting

  • Timeouts: If the API request times out, consider increasing the "Timeout" property value.
  • No results returned: Check that the keywords and filters are correctly specified; overly restrictive filters may yield no results.
  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
  • Invalid filter values: Make sure that location and industry filters use correct URNs or valid names recognized by the API.
  • API rate limits: If many requests are made in quick succession, the API might throttle requests; implement delays or reduce request frequency.
