# LinkedIn Profile With Posts API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkedin/profile-with-posts)

> Returns a LinkedIn member's profile, follower and connection counts, and recent posts in one premium call. `author` is the same Author object `/v1/linkedin/profile` returns, with `followers` and `following` filled from this call's counts. `posts` is an array of recent posts whose items match `/v1/linkedin/profile/posts` item for item (`post.id` is the activity id, `post.published_at` is the exact posting time, `post.ext.reaction_counts` breaks reactions down by type), so `post.ext.published_at_precision` is null: there is no approximation to declare. `background` holds `summary` (the About text, or null) and `experiences`, `educations` and `skills` arrays whose items match the matching `/v1/linkedin/profile/*` endpoint item for item; a leaf this call does not carry is null rather than missing. This call carries no recommendations; use `/v1/linkedin/profile/complete` for those. Every other top-level key is the original profile record, kept unchanged for compatibility.

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

## FAQ

### What does the LinkedIn Profile With Posts API return?

Returns a member's profile with follower and connection counts in author, recent posts in the profile/posts item shape, and experiences, educations and skills under background. 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 With Posts endpoint?

Use it for one call covering the counts, recent posts and career history. Use profile/complete when you need recommendations. Not for recommendations or the full background (linkedin/profile/complete, linkedin/profile/all) or a company page (linkedin/profile/full).

### How much does the LinkedIn Profile With Posts 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.
