How to search people in linkedin for multiple companies

Is that possible to search peoples for multiple companies at a time using linkedin jsapi
iam using below url for searching
its giving zero people

"/people-search:" + "(people:(first-name,last-name,relation-to-viewer,picture-url,public-profile-url,positions),facets:(code,buckets:(name,code,count)))" + "?facets=network&facet=network,F,S&count=3&current-company=true&sort=distance&company-name=ibm,infosys,oracle";

Solution

  • If it's just a few company IDs you need, then use the linkedin Company ID Lookup tool to get the IDs of the companies, then conduct a faceted company search as follows:

    "/people-search:" + "(people:(first-name,last-name,relation-to-viewer,picture-url,public-profile-url,positions),facets:(code,buckets:(name,code,count)))" + "?facets=network,current-company&facet=current-company,ID1,ID2,ID3&facet=network,F,S&count=3&current-company=true&sort=distance&company-name=ibm,infosys,oracle";

    Replace ID1, ID2 and ID3 with the IDs of the companies you looked up with the above tool.

    If you have a lot of company IDs to fetch, then conduct a company search via the API to grab the company IDs programmatically, then proceed to people search.
