Name or domain — which works better?

The domain. Company names are ambiguous across subsidiaries and markets; a domain usually is not.

What if the person changed jobs?

You may get no match against the old company, or a match showing the new one. Either outcome is useful — it tells you the record you hold is out of date.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a lookup cost?

10 points per matched profile, which is $10 per 1,000, and unresolved names are not charged.

Find a LinkedIn Profile by Name and Company Domain — API and MCP

Most records do not carry a profile URL. They carry a name and a company, which is exactly what this source takes: a full name plus a company name or domain, resolved to the matching professional profile.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: A full name plus a company name or domain
You get back: The matching profile with headline, company and location
Coverage: People with a public profile, worldwide.
Price: 10 pts — $10 per 1,000; Charged only when a profile is matched. An unresolved name is not billed.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Searching manually	Search the name, filter by company, judge the match	Free, a minute or two each	Common names make this slow and error-prone
Fuzzy matching your own database	Write the matching logic and tune it	Engineering time	You inherit every false positive it produces
NeuralVerge	One request	$10 per 1,000, misses not billed	Common names at large companies are genuinely ambiguous — check the match before acting on it

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

Both parameters are required. `company_or_domain` accepts either a company name or a domain, and the domain is the more precise of the two.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-linkedin-domain \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "company_or_domain": "acme.com",
    "full_name": "Jane Doe"
  }'

No — that is the point of this source. A full name plus a company name or domain is enough, and the profile URL is what you get back.
