LinkedIn Profile Complete API
Returns a member's full background: author in the /profile shape, and background with About, experiences, educations, skills and recommendations in the profile/* item shapes.
GET /v1/linkedin/profile/completeLast updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the LinkedIn Profile Complete API
Use it for background checks and enrichment, where one premium call replaces profile, profile/experiences, profile/educations, profile/skills and profile/recommendations.
Not for follower or connection counts, which come back null (linkedin/profile/with-posts, linkedin/profile/all), or for recent posts (linkedin/profile/with-posts).
From the API reference
Returns a LinkedIn member's full background in one premium call, in place of /v1/linkedin/profile plus /v1/linkedin/profile/experiences, /profile/educations, /profile/skills and /profile/recommendations. Two keys carry it in SocialCrawl's own shapes. author is the same Author object /v1/linkedin/profile returns (username, display_name, bio, location, avatar_url and the ext flags, urn and member_id included); followers and following are null because this call reports no counts. background holds summary (the About text, or null) and five arrays whose items match the matching /v1/linkedin/profile/* endpoint item for item: experiences (title, description, location, date such as {start: "Apr 2025", end: "Present"}, employment_type, skills, company with id, name, url and logo), educations (id, school, date, degree), skills (skill, is_passed_skill_assessment), recommendations (received) and given_recommendations (text, date, type, recommender). A leaf this call does not carry is null rather than missing, for example a role's skills and a recommender's urn, and educations is an empty array when the member lists none. Every other top-level key (firstName, fullPositions, languages, projects and the rest) is the original packed record, kept unchanged for compatibility; languages and projects are only available there.

What can you do with the Profile Complete API?
The Profile Complete endpoint gives you structured LinkedIn data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/linkedin/profile/complete: 10 credits per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

}FAQ
Have a question? We got answers
Find answers to frequently asked questions about SocialCrawl's API, pricing, and capabilities.
Contact usWhat does the LinkedIn Profile Complete API return?
Returns a member's full background: author in the /profile shape, and background with About, experiences, educations, skills and recommendations in the profile/* item shapes. The response uses the same JSON envelope as every SocialCrawl endpoint, with the data, credits_used and request_id fields.
When should I use the LinkedIn Profile Complete endpoint?
Use it for background checks and enrichment, where one premium call replaces profile, profile/experiences, profile/educations, profile/skills and profile/recommendations. Not for follower or connection counts, which come back null (linkedin/profile/with-posts, linkedin/profile/all), or for recent posts (linkedin/profile/with-posts).
How much does the LinkedIn Profile Complete API cost?
Each call costs 10 credits, so the 100 free credits every new account gets cover 10 calls. Credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically, and there is no subscription.
What parameters does the LinkedIn Profile Complete API need?
The one required parameter is url (full URL of the LinkedIn profile).
How do I call the LinkedIn Profile Complete API?
Send a GET request to https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/linkedin/profile/complete?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fryanroslansky%2F with your API key in the x-api-key header. An Authorization: Bearer header works too.
