[ FAQ ]

LinkedIn Job Posting API questions

How do I get the full description of a LinkedIn job posting?

Send the posting’s link, such as linkedin.com/jobs/view/4417164255/, as jobUrl. The response has the title, full description, company, location, remote option, experience level, employment type, application link, posting and expiry dates, and applicant and view counts.

How do I find job postings to look up?

Use the LinkedIn Job Search API to list jobs by keyword, location, workplace type, seniority and date posted. Each result carries its jobUrl, which you can pass straight to this endpoint.

Can I see how many people applied to a LinkedIn job?

Yes. The response includes the applicant and view counts LinkedIn shows for the posting. Look it up again later to see how they change.

How do I use the LinkedIn Job Posting API?

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/get-job with jobUrl in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.linkedin.getJob(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the linkedin_get_job tool.
