## FAQ

### How do I get LinkedIn group details with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/group with a numeric group_id in the group_id parameter. The response is a single object with the group's name, description, member count, and its rules where LinkedIn makes them public.

### What fields does the LinkedIn group endpoint return?

The group name, description, total member count, and the group rules where public. All fields come back in SocialCrawl's unified schema, so a group response lines up with the shapes you get from other platforms.

### Where do I find the group_id this endpoint needs?

The group_id is the numeric identifier in a LinkedIn group URL (linkedin.com/groups/{group_id}). Copy that number and pass it in the group_id parameter. The same id feeds /v1/linkedin/group/posts to read the group's feed.

### How much does the LinkedIn group endpoint cost?

Each request costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, and the response is one object per call. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, enough for 20 group lookups before you ever need to upgrade.

### What can I use LinkedIn group data for?

Community research and audience sizing are common use cases. Read a group's member count and description to gauge how active a professional community is, then pull its feed from /v1/linkedin/group/posts to study the topics being discussed.
