Answer 2

Hi Aaron I think this thread on stackoverflow can be of some help to you basically here they are attempting to write a backfill script that will pull in historical follower numbers for linkedin companies. You can also start conversation there.

Answer 3

Hi Aaron,

It appears the Stackoverflow link is no longer working. Any updated materials on this? The API list provided by LinkedIn doesn't seem to have the solution here:
