Linkedin Company Statistics API is giving Wrong Geography Data

Question

Good Day...!

I am using linkedin API [ https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/123456/company-statistics?format=json ] to get company statistics including total count [ the total count was right ] with country-wise data.

The API gives wrong data when comparing with linked in admin dashboard records https://www.linkedin.com/company/123456/admin/analytics/followers/. Have attached the screenshots and response.

JSOn response:

  "count": 15118,
    "countries": {
      "_total": 96,
      "values": [
        {
          "entryKey": "in",
          "entryValue": "6664"
        },
        {
          "entryKey": "sg",
          "entryValue": "648"
        },
        {
          "entryKey": "cn",
          "entryValue": "223"
        },
        {
          "entryKey": "ae",
          "entryValue": "217"
        },
        {
          "entryKey": "us",
          "entryValue": "165"
        },
        {
          "entryKey": "hk",
          "entryValue": "139"
        },
        {
          "entryKey": "th",
          "entryValue": "127"
        },

I guess that one result has a filter and the other one doesn't. Do the individual entries add up to the same number? — Nick.McDermaid
Hey Nick, Thanks can you please suggest how to calculate the single entries . I just sharing the details with you [ Google text file ]drive.google.com/file/d/14OUpuEbsRS6Qgc3A6i4mGFCkliYogtd5/… — gokulakrishnan
I'm just guessing here - it seems like you are running a query that filters the results (current year? current month?). I don't know what logic is behind your API call — Nick.McDermaid
There is no logic it is not monthly or anything it gives all data. Here i am using api.linkedin.com/v1/companies{id}/company-statistics there is no filter here developer.linkedin.com/docs/company-pages#statistics — gokulakrishnan

Thanks for all, Who tried to answer me.

Below is the response from Linkedin Team.

The follower demographics is a solid number, but the targeted audience is a rounded number and this number is sanitized because it strips out any members that have made the choice not to be targeted
