## linkedin/person

`GET /v1/linkedin/person`

The enriched record for one person: headline, summary, location, connections and followers, current role, full work history, education, skills, languages and links. Distinct from linkedin/profile, which answers what the public page shows. Email addresses are never returned.

*LinkedIn person record*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | no | Public profile handle (the URL slug) — e.g. `williamhgates` |
| `url` | no | Full profile URL, instead of the handle — e.g. `https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 5 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
