LinkedIn API, developed by Data365, is a powerful tool for collecting and storing data for its further analysis from one of the world's largest social networks. Marketing research, identifying public users who fit the company as employees or potential customers, studying mentions of a keyword or phrase, using the obtained data to make decisions – these are not all the possibilities of this powerful web scraping tool.

Thanks to carefully selected and structured LinkedIn data, your business model will always be effective, and the client's brand will be associated only with positive feedback, both from customers and employees. Expand your possibilities and fetch the new customer right now – just contact our specialists and you will get answers to all your questions.

Our API for developers is a specialized tool designed to allow any corporation, agency or SMB to view the data they are interested in on a social network, save the results, conduct research and draw the appropriate conclusions, without which creating a social media marketing campaign is impossible. Our web service is multifunctional and easy to use if you have a technical background. And for those who have experience with similar Application Programming Interfaces, it is enough to read the free of charge LinkedIn API documentation posted on our website in order to independently understand the principles of operation and settings. And our managers will promptly answer questions that still remain unresolved after studying the docs at any convenient time.

Almost 500 million people around the world have LinkedIn profiles (most of them are open), so it is not surprising that Social media listening dashboards and Media intelligence companies use it for collecting and storing data, as well as conducting analysis, which is necessary to create a marketing policy for customers and promote them in social networks. You can automate and speed up the process of searching and collecting information using our product, which is based on HTTP and allows you to work with various requests.

To get access to the product, the LinkedIn API developer must submit a service request, which will be promptly processed by our specialists. After that, we will contact the applicant, ask clarifying questions, consult and help you choose the appropriate tariff plan. Later, you will be sent all the information you need to start searching, storing and monitoring data:

key (aka access token);

API request templates for process optimization (Postman collection);

links to documentation, guide, page with examples with sample data that can be obtained using our APIs, articles with instructions on how to use the API, create requests, etc. All this information can be useful for you to develop measures to promote customers, analyze the received data and generate reports, including graphs.

Don't search for information manually – use our unique development and devote more time to rest or other useful things!

Using our tool is quite simple, since it is based on HTTP and all the necessary information about requests, characteristics and data collection principles can be found in the LinkedIn API docs. Useful articles are also posted on the Resources page, where you will always find useful information: links to documentation, articles (instructions), blogs, etc.

Due to the fact that the tool uses a standard protocol for transferring hypertext, the principle of its operation and the formation of requests is similar for all social networks and data processed and stored on the server. For example, our API is based on two key methods for adding or replacing data (POST) and for getting the appropriate information when the data is processed (GET).

Write to us and we will tell you how the API works and help you create a particular request. In addition, you can always find one or another specific example on our website.

To get the necessary LinkedIn API data for its further analysis and formation of conclusions and recommendations, the developer will need to work with only two main parameters – the Path and the Query.

Without the first parameter, it will not be possible to determine the endpoint, which is, in fact, the goal for which you are searching and collecting data. The list of components of the Path is quite wide: the ID of the user, post, comment or other object, the name of the company or the follower (in case you want to study their profile and posts or comments), a specific URL link, etc.

As for the Query, this parameter allows you to customize the request (this is the task that the user submits to the API for execution) for your specific goals. For example, you can always upload additional data, limit the amount of uploaded data by a specific filter, sort and filter data that has already been received.

Yes, our Data365 LinkedIn API is a new LinkedIn private API that provides clients with extensive sets of data about LinkedIn profiles, business, jobs, posts, and comments. Our API for LinkedIn allows questing information about posts and jobs, and also to filter the obtained results by various parameters depending on the search type. With our API, you get an opportunity to individualize API to your requirements or add new features. Moreover, you are ensured with human support during full collaboration time.

LinkedIn provides developers with Linkedin public APIs in such scope as Consumer, Compliance, Learning, Marketing, Sales, and Talent. The mission of Consumer API is to improve your entrance and share content, Compliance API is monitoring and running communications, Learning API is to unify Learning content, Marketing API is running advertising on LinkedIn, Sales API is managing customer relationships to increase sales, Talent API is improving candidate sourcing and recruiting process.
As a whole, they provide a simple and successive representation of people, companies, jobs, and relationships between them.

Data365 LinkedIn API is more like a Compliance API, namely Profile API, Post API, Organization Lookup API, etc. It should admit that Compliance APIs have some restrictions on access to data. Some permissions are required to perform actions with different types of data. Also, not all official APIs are fit to be called daily to check on updates.

Our LinkedIn private API is focused on gathering data and is easier to access. You only need an access token to receive data such as LinkedIn members, posts, companies, groups, etc. Obtained data with our LinkedIn API are a powerful base for your marketing analysis and business as a whole.

Our API for LinkedIn can be efficiently applied to develop a marketing strategy, to analyze the market and forecast its development, to analyze rivals, to study consumers and hunt for high-skilled personnel, to run a marketing audit, and much more.

It should be concluded that compared to LinkedIn public API, our LinkedIn private API is easier to deal with - no restrictions, special permissions. So, if your objective is to gather numerous data from one of the major social networks Data365 LinkedIn API will brilliantly cope with this task.

Data365 LinkedIn API is REST API, which means it focuses on resources (i.e.different types of data, not actions) and how resources are accessed. Also it includes some concepts that enable standard RESTful principles at scale, model data consistently, and finally, ensure a well-structured end-to-end soft developer practice. Nowadays REST is one of the most popular ways of interaction and data exchange of the server displacing almost all other designs.

In Data 365 LinkedIn API we apply two key HTTP request methods concerning information:
POST request to register or add data, i.e. to supplement the Data365 database with new LinkedIn data, or to update existing ones.
GET request to receive data, just transfer, i.e. a query to Data365 databases, to receive the data collected after the POST query was finished.

After completing the request, the user gets a response in JSON format that provides a lighter, simpler, and more flexible message format and increases communication speed. JSON is an alternative to another extension with similar functionality - XML, and a very popular format, because it does not require a lot of resources, and productivity grows with it several times.
