## FAQ

### How do I get a member's LinkedIn certifications with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/profile/certifications with the full LinkedIn profile URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns a list of licenses and certifications, each with its name, issuing organization, issue and expiry dates, and credential id.

### What fields does the LinkedIn Certifications API return?

Each entry includes the certification name, the issuing organization, the issue date, the expiry date where set, and the credential id. Entries without an expiry come back as open-ended so you can tell lifetime certs from renewable ones.

### How much does the LinkedIn Certifications API cost?

Each request costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, no matter how many certifications return in the list. New accounts get 100 credits free with no credit card, enough for 20 profile lookups before you upgrade.

### Can I paginate a long list of certifications?

Yes. Add the page query parameter (integer) to page through members with many certifications. Start at page 1 and increment until the response returns an empty list, which marks the end.

### Is the LinkedIn Certifications API useful for verification?

Yes, skills verification and compliance screening are common use cases. Pull normalized credential data (name, issuer, credential id, expiry) to confirm certified candidates and enrich talent profiles for regulated roles.
