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.
