GET

/api/v1/companies/similar

10 credits

Similar companies / peers (id, name, industry, followers, url). Keyed by the numeric organization id: pass `slug` and Zooq resolves it for you at no extra credit cost, or pass `id` from /api/v1/companies/entity-id to skip the lookup.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
slug	string	no	Company public slug — the part after linkedin.com/company/ — or the full company URL. Resolved to `id` automatically at no extra credit cost. Any company identifier is accepted here and sorted by format (slug, URL, numeric id, org_ id). Provide `id` OR `slug`; `slug` is the simplest. (e.g. `microsoft`)
id	string	no	Numeric organization id from companies_entity_id; the urn:li:organization: form is accepted. An org_ id (dataset namespace, from companies_info) or a slug placed here is recognized and translated automatically. Provide `id` OR `slug`. (e.g. `1035`)
