Frequently asked questions

- Yes. `GET /v1/company?domain=stripe.com` automatically resolves the root corporate domain to its canonical company profile, headcount, industry, headquarters, and funding metadata.
- Do I need a HubSpot subscription to use LinkedInDataAPI?
- No. LinkedInDataAPI is 100% standalone and works with any database, custom CRM, Postgres warehouse, Clay table, or AI agent.
