Profile
Resolves a LinkedIn profile URL into structured data — name, location, about text, experience and education history, articles, publications, projects, recommendations and follower count. LinkedIn no longer publishes job titles, skills, languages or certifications on public profiles, so those fields are not returned by any source and this service does not pretend to have them.
What you get
Each call returns one profile record. There is no pagination.
Endpoint
GET /v1/linkedin/profile

Failed calls never charged
Parameters
The public LinkedIn profile URL to resolve.
Bypass cached data and force a live fetch for this one call. Use it for daily monitoring or any figure you are tracking over time. Accepts `true`, `1`, `false` or `0`; anything else returns 400 `invalid_fresh`. Defaults to false and costs exactly the same as a cached call.
One of: true, 1, false, 0
Example request
Live call. Successful calls are charged; failed and empty results are not.

}Limits
- Maximum per call: 1 profiles.
- Minimum per call: 1 profile — a target with less data returns fewer profiles, and an empty result is still a successful call.
- Each call fetches a full page of up to 1 and costs the same either way. Pass limit to receive fewer than that in the response.
- This endpoint returns a single record per call and is not paginated.
What this costs in practice
10,000 profiles = 10,000 calls × 1 credits per call = 10,000 credits = $0.00
Priced at the Custom pack rate: 1,000,000 credits for $0.00.
