# Jobs LinkedIn Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/jobs/linkedin-search)

> Returns LinkedIn job listings matching a keyword and optional location, date, employment type, experience, workplace, or company-id filters. Each row has job id, title, company, location, posting date, and listing URL. Pass an id to GET /v1/jobs/linkedin for the full description. Page 2 with the cursor from page 1.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/jobs/linkedin/search` costs 10 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | no | Keywords, job title, or company name. |
| `location` | no | City or country. Defaults to worldwide when omitted. |
| `organization_ids` | no | Semicolon-separated LinkedIn organization ids from GET /v1/jobs/linkedin/organizations. |
| `date_posted` | no | Maximum age: month, week, or day. (month \| week \| day) |
| `employment_types` | no | Semicolon-separated: contractor, fulltime, parttime, intern, temporary. |
| `experience_levels` | no | Semicolon-separated: intern, entry, associate, midSenior, director. |
| `workplace_types` | no | Semicolon-separated: remote, hybrid, onSite. |
| `cursor` | no | Opaque cursor from the previous page. |
| `max_pages` | no | 1 to 50 (default 1, or 50 when `max_items` or `max_credits` is sent). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them. Each page walked is billed exactly as one call to this endpoint (a cached page is free) and counts against your rate limit; its charge and any refund are recorded under the page's own request id, listed in `data.walk.request_ids`. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; `data.walk.stopped` says why (`end`, `max_pages`, `max_items`, `max_credits`, `time_budget`, `page_error`) and `pagination.next_cursor` continues from where it stopped. |
| `max_items` | no | 1 to 5000. Get more in one call: keep walking pages until the response holds at least this many rows, then stop with `data.walk.stopped: "max_items"`. The last page is returned whole (it was billed), so `data.items` can hold up to one page more than this, and `pagination.next_cursor` resumes right after it without skipping a row. Walks up to 50 pages unless `max_pages` says fewer; each page is billed as one call (a cached page is free). Add `max_credits` to cap the spend. A long walk can stop on the time budget first (`"time_budget"`): send the returned cursor with the same params to continue. |
| `max_credits` | no | 1 to 100000. The most this call may spend, across every page it walks. A page starts only while the credits already spent plus that page's price (or, when higher, the most any page of this walk has cost) still fit, so the call never goes past it; the walk then stops with `data.walk.stopped: "max_credits"` and the cursor to resume. Sent alone, it walks as far as the budget goes (up to 50 pages). A value below the price of one page is a free 400 whose `error.details.page_credits` names that price. Credits a row join (`include=`) adds are known only once a page has run, so page 1 is checked against its own price. |

## FAQ

### How do I use the LinkedIn job search API?

Call GET /v1/jobs/linkedin/search with query set to keywords, a job title or a company name. Each row has job id, title, company, location, posting date and listing URL. Pass an id to GET /v1/jobs/linkedin for the full description.

### Which filters does LinkedIn job search support?

location takes a city or country and defaults to worldwide. date_posted takes month, week or day. employment_types, experience_levels and workplace_types take semicolon-separated values such as fulltime, midSenior and remote. organization_ids filters by employer.

### Can I search LinkedIn companies or people with this endpoint?

No. It searches job listings only. To turn an employer name into an id for the organization_ids filter, call GET /v1/jobs/linkedin/organizations, which matches LinkedIn companies and schools by name.

### How do I get more than one page of results?

Pass the cursor from the previous page to get page 2 and onward. A search that matches nothing comes back empty and is not billed.

### Is this the same as the official LinkedIn API?

No. It reads public job listings and needs no LinkedIn developer approval or partner program access. You call it with a SocialCrawl key.

### How much does LinkedIn job search cost?

Each call costs 10 credits on the premium tier. New accounts get 100 free credits, about 10 searches, and credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically. There is no subscription.
