LinkedIn People Search API
Pricing
from $0.98 / 1,000 person founds
Find people on LinkedIn by name, job title, company, school or location and get their public profile data as structured JSON: profile URL, headline, employer, about text, work history, education, follower count and photo. No login, no session cookie, no LinkedIn account.
First name of the person to find, for example Jane. Combined with lastName into an exact-phrase search, so the two together find people by full name. Leave both name fields empty only if you are searching with the keywords field instead.
Last name of the person to find, for example Doe. Combined with firstName into an exact-phrase search.
Extra search terms to add to the query, for example a skill, an employer or an industry word. Use this on its own to search without a specific name, or alongside a name to narrow the matches.
Job title to require, for example Software Engineer. Only people whose public profile or search snippet mentions this title are returned.
Employer name to require, for example Microsoft. Matches people whose public profile mentions this company, current or past.
School or university name to require, for example Stanford University.
Place to require, for example San Francisco or United Kingdom. Matched as text against the public profile, so a city, region or country all work.
Stop after delivering this many people. You are charged only for the people actually returned. Each search fetches a full page of ten results at once, so a run returns at least ten people when the query has that many matches; values below ten are treated as ten rather than wasting the rest of the page. Narrow queries can still finish with fewer people when the search itself runs out of matches.
When enabled, each person's public LinkedIn profile page is opened to add their about text, work history, education, follower count, photo and languages. Turn this off for a faster, cheaper run that returns only the profile URL, name, headline and current employer.
