LinkedIn Profile API

Q: What do I send?

Send url. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.

Q: Can my AI agent call it?

Yes, over MCP: the agent finds linkedin.profile.get, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.

Get a public profile from its URL: name, current company, location, follower count, education, and the person's recent posts and articles.
