[ FAQ ]

LinkedIn Group Search API questions

How do I find LinkedIn groups in my niche?

Send a keyword such as machine learning. Each group comes back with its name, member count, description, logo and link, up to 10 per call.

Does it return the members of a group?

No. It returns the groups themselves. Use the member count to see which communities are large and worth joining.

How do I get more than 10 results from a LinkedIn group search?

Each call returns up to 10 groups. Send the same search again with start set to 10, then 20 and so on, to get the next ones.
