In the realm of business and professional networking, LinkedIn plays a crucial role. Often, there's a need to extract more detailed information from a LinkedIn profile, especially for companies. This is where Piloterr's API comes into play, offering a seamless way to transform LinkedIn URLs into comprehensive website data.

1. Create your account

Register on piloterr.com
Create your subscription
Create and copy your API key

2. Select the scenario

Scenario 1: Known LinkedIn Company URL : When you have the LinkedIn URL of the company, the process is straightforward. Use a GET request to the Piloterr API.
Scenario 2: Unknown LinkedIn Company URL : In cases where you don't have the LinkedIn URL, you can still find the necessary information using a two-step process.

Remember to replace PILOTERR_API_KEY with your actual API key. The script assumes the Piloterr API responses are in a specific format, so it might require adjustments based on the actual API response structure.

Scenario Known LinkedIn Company URL

Copy the code
Create a new file get_website_linkedin.py‍
Replace the API token with your own
Replace LINKEDIN_URL by your URL
Run the script with py get_website_linkedin.py

import requests

PILOTERR_API_KEY = 'YOUR-TOKEN-API-REPLACE-ME'
LINKEDIN_URL = 'https://linkedin.com/company/airbusgroup'

def get_linkedin_info(known_url: str):
    api_url = f"https://piloterr.com/api/v2/linkedin/company/info"
    headers={
        "x-api-key": PILOTERR_API_KEY
    }
    params={
        "query": known_url
    }
    response = requests.get(
        url=api_url,
        headers=headers,
        params=params
    )
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()
    else:
        return "Error: Unable to fetch data"

# Request
req = get_linkedin_info(known_url=LINKEDIN_URL)

print("Website: " + req["website"])

Result

Website: http://www.airbus.com

Scenario Unknown LinkedIn Company URL

To enhance the script by adding a Google search request for situations where the LinkedIn URL is unknown, we can introduce a new function that queries Google's Search Engine Results Page (SERP) to find the LinkedIn URL.

Copy the code
Create a new file get_website_linkedin_company_name.py‍
Replace the API token with your own
Replace COMPANY by the company name
Run the script with py get_website_linkedin_company_name.py

import requests

PILOTERR_API_KEY = 'YOUR-TOKEN-API-REPLACE-ME'
COMPANY = 'Piloterr'

def get_linkedin_info(known_url: str):
    api_url = "https://piloterr.com/api/v2/linkedin/company/info"
    headers = {
        "x-api-key": PILOTERR_API_KEY
    }
    params = {
        "query": known_url
    }
    response = requests.get(
        url=api_url,
        headers=headers,
        params=params
    )
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()
    else:
        return "Error: Unable to fetch data"

def get_linkedin_url_from_google(query: str):
    google_api_url = "https://piloterr.com/api/v2/google/search"
    headers = {
        "x-api-key": PILOTERR_API_KEY
    }
    data = {
        "query": query
    }
    response = requests.post(
        url=google_api_url,
        headers=headers,
        json=data
    )

    if response.status_code == 200:
        search_results = response.json()['organic_results']
        # Extract LinkedIn URL from search results
        for result in search_results:
            if 'linkedin.com/company/' in result['link']:
                return result['link']
        return "LinkedIn URL not found in search results"
    else:
        return "Error: Unable to perform search"

# Example usage
search_query = f"site:linkedin.com/company {COMPANY}"
linkedin_url = get_linkedin_url_from_google(search_query)

if "linkedin.com/company/" in linkedin_url:
    req = get_linkedin_info(linkedin_url)
    if "website" in req:
        print("Website: " + req["website"])
    else:
        print("Error: LinkedIn information not retrieved")
else:
    print("Company not found")

Result

Website: http://www.piloterr.com
