LinkedIn API
LinkedIn profile with posts (one page)
A real public profile plus one page of posts/videos, preserving original normalized component fields and source order. HTTP 200 may be partial: inspect complete, partial and legs. Failed profile: no posts requested, zero charge. Failed posts: profile retained and only that successful component charged. Cached components use the public cache-hit price. Computed fields are transparent page arithmetic, not SocialCrawl metric-schema equivalence.

Query parameters
| Name | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
url | yes | Public profile identifier. LinkedIn accepts /company/name or /in/name URLs. | https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft |
posts | no | Desired page size, 1-100. Existing components choose their own page size; the entire single source page is preserved, even if longer or shorter, so no records are skipped between cursors. No automatic extra pages. | 25 |
cursor | no | Opaque posts_cursor from the previous response; use posts_pagination.next_params to retain all required context. Unsupported component continuation is refused before calls. | — |
include | no | CSV: posts and/or computed (default both), or profile alone. Profile is always returned. Computed is arithmetic over this page only, not an AI summary. | posts,computed |
pagination_token | no | Pass with the cursor when the personal-profile posts page supplied it. Company continuation is rejected until its registered component supports it. | — |
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 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.
