Request for API to retrieve details of all the companies on Glassdoor #2

I am Pritish Shah. I am pursuing MS at San Jose State University. I am making Job Salary Prediction as my master project. My aim is to predict Salary for entered criteria. for that, I required large amount of data. I have seen your Glassdoor API on Github. I tried, and it was working well. However, inside that you need to pass the company name as parameter. Is it possible to get information about more companies without passing the name? Your help would be really appreciate.

There may be a lightweight way to get a list of company names from glassdoor. Unfortunately, no API is directly exposed from glassdoor so this too will have to be done via a crawl. This crawl will likely require multiple requests, unless there's a clever strategy I'm missing.
