Linkedin Company Statistics API is giving Wrong Geography Data

Question

Good Day...!

I am using linkedin API [ https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/123456/company-statistics?format=json ] to get company statistics including total count [ the total count was right ] with country-wise data.

The API gives wrong data when comparing with linked in admin dashboard records https://www.linkedin.com/company/123456/admin/analytics/followers/. Have attached the screenshots and response.

Thanks for all, Who tried to answer me.

Below is the response from Linkedin Team.

The follower demographics is a solid number, but the targeted audience is a rounded number and this number is sanitized because it strips out any members that have made the choice not to be targeted
