# LinkedIn Profile Full API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkedin/profile-full)

> Fans out to the LinkedIn company profile and recent-posts endpoints in parallel and returns the unified author, the recent-post list, and computed metrics — average engagement rate, posting cadence (with the window it was measured over), the top post, and the format mix. The profile leg is the only critical leg: if posts can't be fetched the call still returns the profile with post-dependent metrics null, and every leg's status is surfaced in legs[]. Flat 5 credits.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/linkedin/profile/full` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | no |  |
| `posts` | no | How many recent posts to fetch + average the computed metrics over (1–100, default 25). |
| `cursor` | no | Pass a prior response's posts_cursor to deepen the post window. |
| `include` | no | CSV subset of posts,computed (default both). include=computed drops the raw posts[] to save payload. |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/linkedin/profile/full" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

## FAQ

### What does the LinkedIn Analytics API return in one call?

One call to GET /v1/linkedin/profile/full returns three things at once: the company page, the recent posts, and computed analytics — average engagement rate, posting cadence (posts per week), the top post by engagement, and the format mix. No single endpoint produces that combination.

### How do I fetch a LinkedIn company page, its posts, and analytics together?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/profile/full with the company page URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl fans out to the company page and posts endpoints in parallel and merges them, so you get the company page, recent posts, and computed metrics back in a single response instead of three separate calls. LinkedIn is company-only — person feeds aren't supported.

### What analytics does the linkedin analytics api compute?

It computes four metrics over the recent posts: average engagement rate (the mean of each post's engagement rate), posts per week from the publish-date span, the top post by total engagement, and a format mix counting video, image, and text posts. These are deterministic — no AI guesswork.

### How much does the linkedin analytics api cost per call?

A flat 5 credits per call, regardless of how many posts come back. The company page is the critical part — if the company page can't be fetched the call fails and refunds; if only the posts are missing you still get the company page and the call is charged. New accounts get 100 free credits, no card.

### How many posts can I pull and can I page deeper?

The posts parameter caps the window from 1 to 100 posts (default 25), and every computed metric averages over exactly that window. The response returns a posts_cursor you can pass back on a follow-up call to deepen the post window when you need a longer history.

### What happens if a company has no recent posts?

The company page is the critical leg, so you always get it. If the posts can't be fetched the response returns the company page with an empty posts array, the post-dependent analytics come back null honestly rather than faked, and the per-leg status is shown in the legs array.
