Parameters

Query parameters

Name	Required	Description	Example
`handle`	no	Public profile handle (the URL slug), or pass url	`satyanadella`
`url`	no	Full profile URL	`https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella`
`media`	no	image or video: only posts carrying that media
`cursor`	no	Page number from the previous page
`pagination_token`	no	pagination_token from the previous page, passed alongside the cursor
`pages`	no	Optional bounded collection of 1–3 source pages within the same normal price, total deadline and spending limit. Default 1. Fewer pages may fit; inspect pages_fetched and window_stop_reason. Continue with both returned cursor and pagination_token when present; keep pages and filters unchanged. This is not a complete historical archive or a last-active indicator.	`1`
`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.	`1`
`judgments`	no	Add bounded AI labels to eligible returned records (default on). off preserves the original data shape. Unclassified records remain present; labels depend on evidence, time, capacity and the existing request budget. No label surcharge.	`on`
`label`	no	Set none to disable labels; default enables the endpoint’s label set. Equivalent to judgments=off.	`none`
`label_evidence`	no	Include exact supporting sentences and zero-based sentence indexes when a label has validated evidence. No extra charge or change to decisions.	`1`
`exclude`	no	Optionally remove confidently labelled engagement bait. Uncertain and unclassified records stay; removed IDs and an owner-bound recall reference are returned.	`engagement_bait`
`fit`	no	Use goal to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs. Keeps first, last, relevant and uncertain records; preserves order. Full evidence is stored for 24 hours when available.	`goal`
`goal`	no	Required with fit=goal: describe the task in at most 600 characters. Supplied text is task context, never permission to act on posts.	`Find concrete product complaints`
`tokens`	no	Optional soft response target for fit=goal, 256–32000. Safety and evidence retention take priority, so the returned result may exceed it.	`4000`

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
