LinkedIn Search API questions
Is there an API to search LinkedIn by keyword?
Yes. Send a keyword and get the people, companies, jobs, posts, groups and more that match, along with the total number of matches. For one kind of result with its own filters, use a dedicated search such as the LinkedIn Job Search or Post Search API.
Can I measure how much LinkedIn talks about a topic?
The total match count is a quick measure of how big a keyword is on LinkedIn. Record it over time to see a topic or brand grow.
How do I get more than 10 results from a LinkedIn search?
Each call returns up to 10 results. Send the same search again with start set to 10, then 20 and so on, to get the next ones.
How do I use the LinkedIn Search API?
Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/search/all with keyword in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.linkedin.searchAll(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the linkedin_search_all tool.
How much does the LinkedIn Search API cost?
Costs 1 credit per result returned, with a minimum of 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.
