# Get Profile

Fetches structured public LinkedIn profile data and activity embedded in the same public document with one upstream request.

- Platform: [LinkedIn](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/platforms/linkedin)
- Capability ID: `linkedin.profile.get`
- Cost: 1 credit per request
- Maximum runtime: 180 seconds
- Execute endpoint: `POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute`

## Request

Use the exact public capability ID in the shared execute envelope.

```bash
curl -X POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":{"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"},"capability":"linkedin.profile.get"}'
```

## Input

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | `string` | Yes | LinkedIn profile username, @username, or HTTPS /in/{slug} URL |

### Example input

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella"
}
```

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

No committed sample output is available for this capability.


## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.

See [jobs and results](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/jobs), [errors and retries](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/errors), and [idempotency](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/idempotency).
