WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

Useful data.
Real workflows.

Bring LinkedIn research into your CRM, product, or internal tools. Each workflow below maps to implemented actions and explains which steps your application handles.

Check a person’s current role

Look up a named person at a known company without opening their LinkedIn profile.

1 credit for a returned match

03

Build a prospect research list

Discover people with Sales Navigator keyword search, then enrich the records you select.

1 credit per search row; optional profiles cost 20 each

See the workflow

Research people engaging with a post

Find relevant posts and collect the available context about their commenters and reactors.

1 credit per returned row, except full profiles at 20

See the workflow

STANDARD PERSON DATA

Need a current role?
Start with search.

Supply a first name, last name, and current company. Get a matching Sales Navigator person record without visiting the profile. Request full enrichment separately when you need experience, education, or skills.

  • 1 credit for one returned match
  • Role, company, location, and available profile URLs
  • No-match results cost zero credits

Ambiguous or incomplete matches fail without charging. An optional public profile URL helps distinguish namesakes.

MANAGED ACCESS

Your API key.
Our data access.

Use our managed access for the 16 read actions. You do not need to supply LinkedIn credentials or a Sales Navigator subscription.

Read through ProfileGlide

Submit a keyword, supported LinkedIn identifier, or name-and-company lookup. The backend schedules approved scraping sources, manages rate pacing, and delivers structured JSON output.

What you own

Your application manages its own scheduling, data storage, record matching, and notifications. We do not provide outreach endpoints, messaging, or CRM connectors.

WHAT THE RESPONSE CONTAINS

Fields you can
build around.

Use search rows for a person’s current role, richer profile reads for professional history, and company reads for business context. Missing source fields are omitted.

People

Search provides current-position data. Full enrichment adds available profile sections.

Name and location
full_name · location
Current role · search
job_title · company_name · tenure_start
Professional history · profile
experiences[] · education[] · skills[]
Identity and network
profile URLs · available IDs · connection_degree

Connection degree is relative to the source account. Full-history completeness and private contact details are not guaranteed.

Companies

Read website, industry, company description, and available workforce and location fields.

Identity
company_name · domain · linkedin_company_id
Business context
industry · description · specialties[]
Source headcount and size band
number_employees · employees_range
Location and reach
locations[] · followers_count

Funding rounds, affiliates, follower identities, and employee distributions are not returned by the current company action.

FROM A READ TO A WORKFLOW

Call it now.
Or collect it later.

Use the same action inputs in either execution mode. Add your own scheduler and application logic for recurring research.

LIVE + ASYNC

Submit, then inspect the run

Live calls attempt execution immediately; busy requests can return 202. Async calls queue work. Poll the run until it completes or fails.

See how it works

YOUR APPLICATION

Build a change alert

Schedule fresh person or company reads, store observations, and compare available fields. Your code owns schedules, diffs, and notifications.

See how it works

YOUR APPLICATION

Research → enrich → store

Collect commenters, enrich selected profile URLs, filter the returned context, and write it to your CRM. Sending outreach belongs in a separately authorized system.

See how it works

Native schedules, completion webhooks, automatic pagination, and a workflow builder are not implemented.

THE INTEGRATION CONTRACT

Plain HTTP.
Visible limits.

Use cURL, JavaScript fetch, Python, or your existing HTTP client. The OpenAPI document describes the request surface; no proprietary SDK is required.

Retry the same request

Reuse an idempotency key with the same body to retrieve the same logical run. Use a new key for a fresh observation.

Read the contract

Set the budget first

Use max_credits and max_results to bound the reservation. Runs report credits_reserved and credits_used; unused credits are returned.

Read the contract

Work within capacity

60 requests per minute per workspace, one active run, and at most 20 unfinished runs. Source pacing and daily limits also apply.
