Department headcount
Retrieve headcount information for specified departments or all departments if none specified.
By default the data comes live from LinkedIn (live: true) and includes 3/6/12-month evolution per department, as documented below. Set live: false to answer from Pipecorn’s companies database (Elasticsearch) instead, with no integration required. The live: false response is a current snapshot only (no evolution) in a different shape:
{
"total_headcount": 18769,
"departments": {
"Engineering": { "current_headcount": 8681 },
"Sales": { "current_headcount": 6258 }
}
}
