[ ENDPOINTS ]

All 21 LinkedIn endpoints

A profile lookup returns the whole page, not a summary of it: headline, about, location, every experience and education entry, plus skills, certifications, languages, publications, patents, projects and awards. It also says whether the member is open to work or hiring.

Company lookups return headcount and headcount range, industry, headquarters and other locations, follower count, specialties, funding data and similar companies. Job lookups return the full description with seniority, employment type, workplace policy, apply link, and how many people have viewed and applied.

Around those records sits the activity: the posts a member or company published, a single post with its counts, the comments under it, who reacted, and what a given member has commented on or reacted to.

[ WHY NOT THE OFFICIAL API? ]

Why not the official LinkedIn API?

LinkedIn’s official APIs are built for approved partners and for apps acting on behalf of a signed-in member. There is no self-serve way to look up any public profile, company page or job posting by its URL.

Partner approval first

Marketing, Talent and Sales Navigator API access each start with a partner application and a review. Bridgly works as soon as you create an API key.

Only the signed-in member

Sign In with LinkedIn returns the signed-in member’s own name, photo and email. Other members’ profiles, posts and reactions are not part of it.

No people or job search

Regular developer apps cannot search people or jobs. Bridgly has eleven search endpoints, including people, companies, jobs and posts.

[ HOW TO USE IT ]

Your first LinkedIn call

Terminal

$curl -X POST "https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/get-profile-from-url" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BRIDGLY_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "memberIdentity": "williamhgates"
}'

[ USE CASES ]

What people build with LinkedIn data

Enrich a lead or a signup

Turn a LinkedIn URL from a form or a CRM row into current title, employer, location and work history, then score or route the lead on real data instead of what the person typed.

Source candidates

Search people by keyword, pull each profile, and filter on the openToWork flag, skills and tenure in your own code rather than paging through a recruiter seat.

Track hiring as a signal

Search jobs by keyword, location, seniority and workplace type on a schedule. A company opening five data roles in a month says something its press releases do not.

Watch what accounts are saying

Pull recent posts from the companies and people you sell to or compete with, with reaction and comment counts, and hand the text to a model or a dashboard.

[ LIMITS ]

What the LinkedIn API does not do

Public data only. Fields a member hides from logged-out visitors, and their email or phone number, are not returned.
Read-only. There are no endpoints to post, message, send connection requests or react.
List and search endpoints return up to 10 results per call. Page with start to get more.
Sales Navigator and Recruiter filters are not available. Search uses LinkedIn’s standard keyword search and job filters.

[ FAQ ]

LinkedIn API questions

Is this the official LinkedIn API?

No. Bridgly is an independent service and is not affiliated with LinkedIn. LinkedIn’s own APIs are limited to approved partners and specific use cases; Bridgly gives you self-serve access with an API key. You are responsible for using the data in line with the laws and terms that apply to you.

Do I need my own LinkedIn account, cookies or proxies?

No. A request contains only what you are looking up, such as a profile slug or a keyword. You never send a session cookie or log in anywhere.

How much does a LinkedIn profile lookup cost?

One credit. List and search endpoints cost one credit per result returned, so a full page of 10 is 10 credits. What a credit costs in dollars depends on your pricing package, and goes as low as $1 per 1,000 credits at volume.

What happens if the profile or company does not exist?

You get a 404 and are not charged. Error responses never consume credits.

Can I filter job search results?

Yes. Job search accepts a location, workplace type (on-site, remote, hybrid), experience level, job type and a posted-within window of 24 hours, a week or a month. Post search can be sorted by date or relevance and limited to the same windows.

How do I get the comments or reactions on a post?

Post detail, comments and reactions take the post’s activity URN (urn:li:activity:<id>). Every post returned by the post lists and post search includes its urn, so list first, then drill in.
