LinkedIn Scraper API
LinkedIn API: 8 endpoints for member profiles, company pages, posts, company feeds, ad search, post search, video transcripts, and the LinkedIn Ad Library. Standard calls cost 1 credit, advanced 5, premium 10 — start with 100 free credits. No OAuth flow, no Marketing Developer Platform approval, no Sales Navigator seat.
TL;DR
The LinkedIn API by SocialCrawl returns LinkedIn data as structured JSON — 9 endpoints behind one x-api-key, from 1 credit per call. It shares one unified schema with 41 other platforms, so the same client code works everywhere.

Metrics ready before you ask.
Engagement rate, estimated reach, content category, language — calculated on every response automatically.
One cursor, every platform.
Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.
Live data, never cached.

Auth, proxies, and rate limits — handled.
Platform authentication, IP rotation, rate limit management — abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
