## FAQ

### What does the LinkedIn Location API do?

It resolves a place name to a LinkedIn geocode id. Send a query like San Francisco to /v1/linkedin/search/location and get back the location record and its id, the value people and job search expect in their geocode filters.

### How do I get a LinkedIn geocode id for a city?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/search/location with the city name in the query parameter. The response returns the matching LinkedIn location and its geocode id, ready to drop into search/people or search/jobs.

### How much does a location lookup cost?

Each lookup costs 1 credit on the standard tier. It is a lightweight utility endpoint, so 100 free sign-up credits cover 100 location resolutions before you ever need to pay.

### Why do I need this before people or job search?

The geocode_location and geocode filters on people and job search take a LinkedIn location id, not a plain city name. Resolve the name here first, then pass the id so your location filter matches exactly.

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

It is a single resolution lookup: you send one place name and get the best-matching LinkedIn location back. It is built to feed ids into other filters, not to page through large result sets.
