Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the LinkedIn Profile API.

What data is actually returned?

**Important**: This API only returns publicly available data - what you would see in an incognito browser. LinkedIn has restricted public access to most profile information. You will typically get: name, profile image, location, about section, follower count, articles, and recent activity. **Work history, job titles, and detailed experience are no longer publicly available** and will appear redacted or incomplete.

Why is work history redacted?

LinkedIn changed their privacy policies and no longer makes work experience, job titles, or detailed employment history publicly accessible. These fields now require authentication and explicit connection with the profile owner to view.

What are the rate limits?

The API follows standard Parseium rate limits based on your plan. Free tier: 100 requests/day, Starter: 1,000/day, Professional: 10,000/day, Enterprise: custom limits.

Do I need LinkedIn authentication?

No. This API scrapes publicly available data and does not require LinkedIn authentication. However, this means you only get data visible to unauthenticated users (very limited).

Can I test the API risk-free?

Yes! When you sign up you get 1,000 free credits — no credit card required. Try the API with real requests before committing.

What if I need help integrating?

We offer documentation, code examples in multiple languages, and email support. Most questions are answered within 24 hours.

How long does integration take?

Minutes. It's a simple REST API — make an HTTP request, get JSON back. No SDKs to install, no complex auth flows.
