## FAQ

### What does the LinkedIn Industry API do?

It resolves an industry name to a LinkedIn industry id. Send a query like Software Development to /v1/linkedin/search/industry and get back the industry id that people search expects in its industry filter.

### How do I get a LinkedIn industry id?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/search/industry with the industry name in the query parameter. The response returns the matching LinkedIn industry and its id, ready to pass into the search/people industry filter.

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

Each lookup costs 1 credit on the standard tier. It is a lightweight helper endpoint, so the 100 free credits every new account gets cover 100 industry resolutions with no credit card.

### Why resolve an industry before people search?

The industry filter on people search takes a LinkedIn industry id, not free text. Resolve the name here first so your filter matches LinkedIn's own taxonomy exactly instead of missing near-matches.

### Is this a single lookup or a list?

It is a single resolution lookup: send one industry name and get the best-matching LinkedIn industry id back. It exists to feed ids into people search, not to page through large result sets.
