Search › People
Returns LinkedIn members matching a name or filters, each with handle, headline, location, follower count, profile URL, and member id.
Use it to build a prospect list by job title, company, school, or location; use company/people to list one employer's staff.
Metered: 200–1000 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.
Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

Query Parameters
Name or display-name keyword to search for (e.g. 'Bill Gates').
Page number for pagination (default 1).
1 <= valueFilter by first name.
Filter by last name.
Filter by job title or headline.
Filter by current company, using a numeric company id from /v1/linkedin/company (author.id). Comma-separated for multiple.
Filter by a previously-worked company, using a numeric company id from /v1/linkedin/company (author.id).
Filter by school, using a school id from /v1/linkedin/search/schools (id).
Filter by industry, using an industry id from /v1/linkedin/search/industry (industry_id).
Filter by location, using a geocode id from /v1/linkedin/search/location (geocode).
Filter by profile language (ISO 2-letter code, e.g. 'en').
Filter by service category, using a numeric service-category id. No endpoint resolves these, so pass one you already hold.
Return people who follow a specific member, using the member's URN from /v1/linkedin/profile (author.ext.urn). This one is a URN and not a numeric id.
Set to profile (one token only) to join every row to the member's profile lookup in this one call: author.followers becomes the exact count and author.ext.followers_approximate reads false on every row the lookup filled, author.following is filled with the member's connection count, and the location, joined date, country, website, cover image and profile flags land where the row lacks them.
Value in
- "profile"
Take the top N rows of this page (1 to 10). The page cursor still advances past the full page of 10, so the rows past your limit are skipped, not carried to the next page.

Returns LinkedIn members from a people-search results URL, each with handle, headline, and profile URL. Use it when you already have a LinkedIn people-search URL. Keyword search is search/people. **200 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
Search › Posts GET
Returns public LinkedIn posts and Pulse articles matching a keyword, with each result's text, author, media, like and comment counts, and date. Use it for broad keyword monitoring; it reads public search results, so treat coverage as best effort rather than complete. **Metered: 20–1120 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
