## FAQ

### What does the LinkedIn Schools API return?

It resolves a school name to LinkedIn school records and their ids. Send a query like Stanford University to /v1/linkedin/search/schools and get back matching schools you can reference in people search by the school filter.

### How do I find a LinkedIn school id?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/search/schools with the school name in the query parameter. The response lists matching schools with their names and ids, and you can add page to paginate through more matches.

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

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier, regardless of how many schools match. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, enough for 100 school lookups.

### How does this help with recruiting?

Alma-mater sourcing is the main use case. Resolve a school here, then pass its name or id into the people search school filter to build candidate lists of a university's alumni for recruiting or outreach.

### Can I paginate through school matches?

Yes. Add the page query parameter (integer) and increment it to load more matching schools when a name is ambiguous. Start at page 1 and stop when the response returns an empty list.
