## FAQ

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

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/profile/publications with the full LinkedIn profile URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns a list of the member's publications, each with its title, publisher, date, description, and url, in unified JSON.

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

Each publication entry includes the title, the publisher or publication venue, the publish date, a description where the member added one, and the url to the original work. Co-authors come through where LinkedIn lists them.

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

Each request costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, regardless of how many publications 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 member with many publications?

Yes. Add the page query parameter (integer) to page through a long publications list. Start at page 1 and increment until the response returns an empty list, which marks the end of the publications.

### Is the LinkedIn Publications API useful for expert research?

Yes, expert identification and thought-leadership research are common use cases. Pull normalized publication data with titles and links to surface subject-matter experts, verify authorship, and enrich talent profiles.
