# Resolve a company

> Names one company from its `name`, website `domain` or `linkedinUrl`: its name, domain, LinkedIn page and logo. Send at least one. When several are sent, only the most precise is looked up: `linkedinUrl`, then `domain`, then `name`. A name resolves to the best-known company of that name, so send a domain for a common name.

A company nothing matches answers `200` with `status` `not_found`, never a guess.

Free. **Scope:** search. Read-only keys may call it.
