I have the Linkedin company URL as follows,
http://in.linkedin.com/company/abb
and the company ID for ABB limited is 277579. Essentially you can also reach ABB through http://www.linkedin.com/company/277579.
But if I have only http://in.linkedin.com/company/abb. Is it possible to get the company ID through this URL? Does parsing the URL help? Seeking any good method to get the company ID.
Is there any other way to do without using Linkedin API?
Hope I am clear with my question. Any help would be appreciated.
Type in your company name in the autocomplete field. Wait until your company name appears as a result. Then click on your company name. Click on Get Code.
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/FollowCompany" data-id="162479" data-counter="top"></script>
e.g. data-id="162479" is the ID for Apple Company Page
I don't know of a way to get this with PHP, so programmatically discovering a company's id may not be an option this way.
However, if you set up a MITM between yourself and LinkedIn.com, you can discover all the network activity between your browser and LinkedIn. A quick way to do this is is by using https://www.owasp.org/index.php/ZAP or http://mitmproxy.org/.
LinkedIn sends the company id of any company page you visit to their ad partners at doubleclick. An example request I discovered is:
Within the request parameters, find the "company" param, and its value should be the numeric company id you need:
company=1273631
To verify it is the correct company id, tack it onto the end of a LinkedIn company page:
Voila, it works!
a simple way would be to do a file_get_contents on the company page to get the html source and look for "company%3D" and grab the number between that and the next "%"
You can download the content of site and find
encodeURIComponent('company=12345')
which appears to be valid company id. Just parse it to get ID.
Why not just hover over the 'follow'/'unfollow' of the company/showcase page, this shows the id in the url ?
Or have I missed something ?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
api_key: [API KEY]
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onGetSuccess(data) {
console.log(data);
for(var i in data.values){
document.getElementById("company").innerHTML = data.values[i].name + " / " + data.values[i].id;
}
}
function onError(error) {
console.log(error);
}
function GetCompanyLinkedIn() {
var url = "/companies/?/updates/format=json&is-company-admin=true";
IN.API.Raw(url)
.method("GET")
.result(onGetSuccess)
.error(onError);
}
</script>
</head>
<body id="body">
<div >
<script type="IN/Login">
Hello, <?js= firstName ?> <?js= lastName ?>
<p id="company" >
<button type="button" onclick="GetCompanyLinkedIn()">Get company id('s)</button>
</p>
</script>
</div>
</body>
Confirming that Andrew's solution worked. Inside the page source, there are multiple scripts with a company%3... data attribute with the company ID; mine was not visible since the URL was customized.
try .htaccess file and type the following line
rewriterule ^http://in.linkedin.com/company/abb http://www.linkedin.com/company/277579
Hover over the follow button on your company page. https://www.linkedin.com/company/follow/submit?id=6667854&fl=stop&ft=0_Y3kiyf
The ID "6667854"
It works as I followed my company page from another site where it's implemented.
