API referenceLinkedIn
LinkedIn profile
A member profile with experience, education and engagement.
A member profile addressed by username, returned in the standard envelope. Carries the profile header, experience, education, skills and connection count.
Set include_engagement to attach the member's recent activity and the
engagement it received.
There is also linkedin-profile, which takes a profile URL and returns a
flatter record. Both are live; pick whichever suits your input.
The example response below is real output from this endpoint, not an illustration. Long lists and long strings are shortened to keep the page readable, and each place that happens is marked. This example took 11.1s.
