Read known profiles or companies

Use full HTTPS LinkedIn URLs. Replace the example URLs with your targets.

{
  "mode": "profileDetails",
  "profileUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"]
}

{
  "mode": "companyDetails",
  "companyUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft"]
}

Direct detail modes read the unique URLs you supply. Search limits do not apply to these modes.

Search profiles or companies

Profile search uses LinkedIn search by default. Set fetchDetails to false to save only search results.

{
  "mode": "profileSearch",
  "profileSearchSource": "member",
  "firstName": "Satya",
  "lastName": "Nadella",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

Company suggestions return name matches. This source has no pagination.

{
  "mode": "companySearch",
  "keywords": "Microsoft",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "fetchDetails": false
}

Choose a search source

Source	Use it to	Required input
publicWeb	Find profiles or employees listed in public web search	A name or keywords for profiles; company names or URLs for employees
directory	Find profiles in LinkedIn's name directory	Both firstName and lastName. Keywords, job titles, and locations are not accepted.
member	Search LinkedIn with optional exact filters	Profiles: a name, keywords, or filters. Companies: keywords or filters. Employees: company URLs.
suggestions	Find companies by name	keywords. Returns name matches without additional pages.
featured	Read the small employee sample on a company page	Company URLs. Search terms are not accepted.

Use profileSearchSource for profiles, companySearchSource for companies, and employeeSource for employees. The input table below lists the defaults.

Use exact search filters

These filters use the member source. Supply LinkedIn filter IDs, such as company or location IDs, instead of names.

Find service providers

Use keywords to find service providers. Some service results contain a description without a profile name or link.

{
  "mode": "profileServicesSearch",
  "keywords": "Consulting",
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

Find employee candidates

Use company URLs to search LinkedIn for employees. Job titles and locations become search text:

{
  "mode": "companyEmployees",
  "employeeSource": "member",
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft"
  ],
  "jobTitles": [
    "Software Engineer"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "London"
  ],
  "maxResults": 5,
  "maxPages": 1
}

For the small public company-page sample, use employeeSource: "featured" with company URLs and no search terms. It is not a complete employee list.

For public web candidates, select publicWeb and use company names or URLs:

{
  "mode": "companyEmployees",
  "employeeSource": "publicWeb",
  "companyNames": ["Microsoft"],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxPages": 1
}

Each candidate has a company relationship: current, past, or unverified. This is based on listed positions, which can include board or advisory roles. Past and unverified candidates remain in the results.

Read posts, comments, and reactions

Set maxResults to limit the total number of records. For activity, maxPages cannot exceed 20.

Use profilePosts with profile URLs or companyPosts with company URLs:

{
  "mode": "companyPosts",
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxPages": 2
}

Use a LinkedIn post URL to read comments. Change the mode to postReactions to read the available reaction list:

{
  "mode": "postComments",
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7506722035688079361/"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxPages": 1
}

Posts can show more comments or reactions than the run can collect.

Add email addresses or company data

Set enrichment.emailDiscovery to true to collect available email addresses from the profile's contact information and matching linked websites.

{
  "mode": "profileDetails",
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomkerkhove"
  ],
  "enrichment": {
    "emailDiscovery": true
  }
}

Results appear in data.emailDiscovery. An email address is not guaranteed for each person. Mailbox delivery is not verified. A company's general contact address is not assigned to an employee.

For search results, keep fetchDetails: true to collect email addresses or other additional data.

Add company website and registry data

This example adds the company's website information and a selected SEC company record:

{
  "mode": "companyDetails",
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft"
  ],
  "enrichment": {
    "officialWebsite": true,
    "registries": [
      {
        "subjectUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft",
        "kind": "sec",
        "id": "789019"
      }
    ],
    "maxSources": 2
  }
}

Website and registry results appear in data.externalEnrichment.
