Company Extractor — Support

Quick Start

1. Register and create an API key from nametoprofile.com/register.
2. Install the Company Extractor from the Chrome Web Store.
3. Open the extension popup and save your API key during setup.
4. Log in to LinkedIn and open any company page, e.g. linkedin.com/company/<slug>.
5. Click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar.
6. Pick the fields you want in the Fields panel and click Extract Data.

How the workflow behaves

• Clicking Extract Data reads structured data from the company page you're viewing.
• If you aren't already on the /about sub-page, the extension navigates there automatically so all fields (industry, founded, specialties, etc.) are available, then extracts.
• The Data Preview panel populates with the extracted values. Each value shows a small source badge (LD, DOM, LBL, or RGX) — see the Source badges section below for what each one means.
• Use Copy Row to paste a single tab-separated row directly into Excel or Google Sheets, or export to Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or JSON.

Extracted fields

The extension can extract up to 13 fields from a company page: Name, Company ID, Logo, Summary, Overview, Website, Industry, Company Size, Followers, Headquarters, Founded, Specialties, and Employees on LinkedIn. You can toggle optional fields in the Fields panel.

Source badges in the preview

Each extracted value in the Data Preview panel shows a small badge indicating where the value was obtained from:

• LD — parsed from JSON-LD structured data embedded in the page. Most stable source.
• DOM — read via a CSS selector against the rendered page DOM. Used as a fallback when JSON-LD doesn't expose the field.
• LBL — located by matching a label in the page (e.g. finding the text "Founded" and reading the adjacent value). Used when CSS selectors drift after a page-layout update.
• RGX — extracted via a regular expression scan against the page body. Last-resort fallback for fields that no structured or label-based lookup could find.

Stored locally

The extension stores your API key, your field preferences, the most recently extracted profile (used by Copy Row), and any active bulk capture session in Chrome local storage, so your settings and in-progress work survive popup closes and service-worker restarts. Nothing is uploaded except the NameToProfile API calls described below — free account checks, plus the company snapshot sent only when you score.

Account scoring (sends company data to the API)

Extraction, preview, copy and export all run in your browser. The one exception is account scoring: when you pick an approved ICP brief and click Fast score or Deep AI score on a company, the extension sends a snapshot of that company (name, industry, type, size, headquarters, locations, founded year, specialties, follower / employee counts and funding) to the NameToProfile API to score it against your brief.

• Fast score — 1 credit (deterministic).
• Deep AI score — 20 credits (LLM second opinion).
• Results are cached 24 hours per company per brief — a cache hit costs 0 credits.
• Requires an approved brief — create one under ICP Briefs.

API key usage

Apart from scoring, the extension uses your API key only for free, non-consuming calls: /v1/auth/validate, /v1/usage, /v1/usage/check, and /v1/briefs (to list your approved briefs). Extraction and export never send company data to our servers — only scoring does, and only when you click.

Export formats (single profile)

Excel (.xlsx) — a file with a header row plus one data row and auto-fitted column widths.
CSV — properly quoted for values that contain commas or line breaks.
JSON — structured output including extractedAt and pageUrl metadata plus every selected field.
Copy Row — a single tab-separated string copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into any spreadsheet cell. Each field lands in its own column automatically.

Bulk Capture

The popup has a Bulk tab for capturing data from multiple companies without manually clicking Extract Data on each one.

• Click Start Session in the Bulk tab. The extension verifies you have at least 250 free credits on your NameToProfile account via a non-consuming entitlement check (POST /v1/usage/check). This check does not deduct credits — it only confirms you are entitled to run a bulk capture.
• While the session is active, visit the supported company pages as you normally would. Each company page you open is automatically captured and added to the bulk queue (duplicates are de-duplicated by company ID).
• Click Stop Session in the Bulk tab at any time to end the capture. Stopping a session is always allowed and requires no entitlement check.
• After stopping (or at any point during the session), export the captured companies as a single bulk Excel (.xlsx), bulk CSV, or bulk JSON file. Each row in the exported file is one captured company, with the same field columns as the single-profile export.
• Click Clear Session to remove all captured companies from the queue. This does not affect your NameToProfile credit balance.

Note on credits: the 250-credit threshold is an entitlement gate only. The extension does not consume NameToProfile credits for extraction or bulk exports — all scraping runs locally in your browser. The check exists to limit bulk capture to accounts with sufficient entitlement headroom.

Data handling notes

All company data is extracted and processed inside your browser. The extension reads the company page you're viewing via standard Chrome extension APIs and either parses embedded JSON-LD structured data or falls back to CSS selectors on the rendered DOM. Extracted data is stored only in your local browser and is never sent to NameToProfile or any third party. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

Clear data behavior

Clearing extension data via the popup removes the last extracted profile, the history of recent extractions, and your field preferences, but keeps the saved API key in place. Use the Settings screen to remove the API key separately if needed.

Login required

You must be logged in, in the same browser window, for the extension to access the company page you're viewing. The extension does not handle authentication — it relies on your normal logged-in session.
