    "description": "string",
    "number_employees": "integer",
    "sales_navigator_company_id": "string",

    "sales_navigator_employees_url": "string",
    "sales_navigator_search_url": "string"
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

**Specificities**

<Info>
  To scrape all 1000 or fewer results of the search, it's crucial to execute the
  scraping process in a single run. Repeating the job won't allow it to resume
  from where it left off; instead, the bot will reprocess the same input from
  the beginning.
</Info>

<Tip>
  If you need to extract more than 1000 companies, consider segmenting your
  search into smaller batches.
