LinkedIn Education API questions
How do I get the education of a LinkedIn profile?
Send the slug after /in/ in their profile link as publicId. Each entry has the school, its link and logo, the degree, field of study, start and end dates, grade, activities and description.
Are all schools returned?
Yes. Up to 100 entries come back per call, and nextStart picks up where a page ended.
How do I use the LinkedIn Education API?
Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/get-profile-education with publicId in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.linkedin.getProfileEducation(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the linkedin_get_profile_education tool.

Costs 1 credit per request. Credits cost $2.00 per 1,000 on pay-as-you-go and as low as $1.00 per 1,000 at volume. New accounts on a business email start with 100 free credits, and failed requests are never charged.
