You can create or update a company.
Companies will be only visible in Intercom when there is at least one associated user.
Companies are looked up via company_id in a POST request, if not found via company_id, the new company will be created, if found, that company will be updated.
You can set a unique company_id value when creating a company. However, it is not possible to update company_id. Be sure to set a unique value once upon creation of the company.
The company id you have defined for the company. Can't be updated
The URL for this company's website. Please note that the value specified here is not validated. Accepts any string.
A hash of key/value pairs containing any other data about the company you want Intercom to store.

https://api.intercom.io/companies?name={name}
https://api.intercom.io/companies?company_id={company_id}
You can fetch all companies and filter by segment_id or tag_id as a query parameter.
https://api.intercom.io/companies?tag_id={tag_id}

You can list companies. The company list is sorted by the last_request_at field and by default is ordered descending, most recently requested first.
Note that the API does not include companies who have no associated users in list responses.
When using the Companies endpoint and the pages object to iterate through the returned companies, there is a limit of 10,000 Companies that can be returned. If you need to list or iterate on more than 10,000 Companies, please use the Scroll API.
You can use pagination to limit the number of results returned. The default is 20 results per page. See the pagination section for more details on how to use the starting_after param.

The list all companies functionality does not work well for huge datasets, and can result in errors and performance problems when paging deeply. The Scroll API provides an efficient mechanism for iterating over all companies in a dataset.
You can get the first page of companies by simply sending a GET request to the scroll endpoint. For subsequent requests you will need to use the scroll parameter from the response.
Since scroll is often used on large datasets network errors such as timeouts can be encountered. When this occurs you will see a HTTP 500 error with the following message: "Request failed due to an internal network error. Please restart the scroll operation." If this happens, you will need to restart your scroll query: It is not possible to continue from a specific point when using scroll.

The majority of list resources in the API are paginated to allow clients to traverse data over multiple requests.
Their responses are likely to contain a pages object that hosts pagination links which a client can use to paginate through the data without having to construct a query. The link relations for the pages field are as follows.
{ "type": "list", "data": [ { … } ], "pages": { "type": "pages", "next": null, "page": 1, "per_page": 50, "total_pages": 1 }, "total_count": 1 }
