The v26.0 release (April 2024) changed the id field to an alpha-numeric hashed id. This field now represents a more persistent ID than the previous LinkedIn slug for the company's LinkedIn URL. Read about it here: Company Schema: id

doing soon
We're rolling out improvements to how we generated Company IDs to better support records that do not have LinkedIn URLs, and to ensure that a company's ID will change less often than under the current design.
Reach out if you'd like more information in advance of the upcoming broader rollout!

Stiff Roadrunner
Reasons why it's important:
- relate API calls (make them more consistent), e.g. autocomplete shall return IDs
- refresh companies periodically
- billing per new data vs. refreshes
- stability in customer databases: will not force customers to create their own ID systems in the backend

Kade Beem Brilliant Cricket Once a persistent company ID is created, it would be great if you guys could create an endpoint that allows us to retrieve companies by that ID and not charge quota when the data has not changed since the last fetch
