Profile › About

GET
/v1/linkedin/profile/about

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.

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.

100 credits per call.

Re-running the exact same call within 24h is free.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

url*string

Full URL of the LinkedIn profile, company, or post.

urn?string

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.

Post GET

Returns one LinkedIn post: its text, author name and picture, like, comment and share counts, attached media, and the publish time.

Profile › Activity GET

Returns when a LinkedIn member last showed public activity. Use it to see recency, not the feed itself. profile/posts returns the posts. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 24h is free.
