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.
How do I use the LinkedIn Group Search API?
Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/search/groups with keyword in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.linkedin.searchGroups(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the linkedin_search_groups tool.
How much does the LinkedIn Group 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.
