Body field
`api`	`classic` (or absent).
`category`	`companies`.
`keywords`	Required.
`limit`	1 to 100 (default 10). The query's `limit` wins over it.

account_id goes in the query, as on Unipile.
LinkedIn gives 10 results a call; a limit of 100 costs 10 calls.
id is the company's id: what as_organization, mentions and GET /users/{id}/posts?is_company=true take.
logo is the company's 100 px logo. summary is LinkedIn's own search snippet (Unipile's sometimes differs: a matched specialty, the tagline or the description) and followers_count LinkedIn's rounded count ("1.2M followers" → 1200000).
cursor (in the query) gives the next page.

Not Done#

Answer 501 errors/feature_not_implemented:

any other category (people, posts, jobs) or api (Sales Navigator, Recruiter);
any filter: industry, location, has_job_offers, headcount, network_distance;
GET /linkedin/search/parameters.
