Returns the month a LinkedIn member joined and how recently contact details and the profile photo were updated, plus identity verification when LinkedIn shows it for that member.
Beta. The source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids, ISO times where the source gives a timestamp), not one of the schema-2 entities. Fields may change. See Schema 2.
Use it to judge how current a profile is. Verification is included only for members whose verification panel can be read. Values come back as relative text, not exact dates.
50 credits per call.

Query Parameters
Full URL of the LinkedIn profile, company, or post.
The member's opaque LinkedIn URN, as returned in author.ext.urn by /v1/linkedin/profile. Optional, and a pure optimisation: pass it ALONGSIDE url (which stays required) and this call skips the internal handle lookup, so it answers faster. Verified on the deployed API 05/09/2026.
Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
