# LinkedIn Profile Top Position API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkedin/profile-top-position)

> Returns the LinkedIn company page of the member's current top position (the employer LinkedIn shows first on the profile), not the role itself: no job title or dates. The raw company record carries `id` (the numeric company id), `name`, `universalName`, `linkedinUrl`, `tagline`, `description`, `type`, `website`, `staffCount`, `staffCountRange`, `followerCount`, `industries`, `specialities`, `headquarter`, `locations`, `logos`, `founded` and `pageVerification`. For the same company as a canonical Author, call `/v1/linkedin/company` with that `linkedinUrl`; for the member's roles, titles and dates, use `/v1/linkedin/profile/experiences`.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/linkedin/profile/top-position` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Full URL of the LinkedIn profile. |
