How LinkedIn data behaves

REST API · MCP server

Call it from your code, or ask your agent

One request shape for every LinkedIn endpoint: the endpoint ID and its input. No SDK needed.

2Ask for the data in plain words

Look up Satya Nadella's LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/satyanadella) with Upscrape. Tell me his current company, location and follower count, and list his five latest articles with their dates.

Use Upscrape to pull Microsoft's LinkedIn company page. Give me its industry, employee count, followers and headquarters, and list the pages it owns, like GitHub.

Using Upscrape, find remote software engineer jobs in the United States posted on LinkedIn this week. Make a table of title, company, location and date, newest first.

The agent finds the endpoint, shows you the price, and runs it with your credits.

Questions

LinkedIn Scraper API FAQ

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Book a call [email protected]
Is there an official LinkedIn API for this data?

LinkedIn's own APIs are for approved partners and mostly cover your own account and pages. Upscrape reads public LinkedIn pages instead, so you can get public profiles, companies, jobs and posts with one API key and no partner approval.

Which LinkedIn data can I get?

Public profiles, company, showcase and Life pages, job searches and postings, posts, articles, newsletters, video captions and Learning courses. Messages, connection lists and anything behind a login are not part of it.

Do I need a LinkedIn account?

No. You send a URL or a search and get JSON back. Nothing runs on your account, and you share no password or cookie.

How much does the LinkedIn API cost?

LinkedIn endpoints cost from 1 credit per successful call, each priced before it runs. You buy credits once, with no subscription, and paid credits never expire. New accounts get free credits to try it.

Can an AI agent use the LinkedIn API?

Yes. Connect any MCP client to the Upscrape MCP server with OAuth or an API key. The agent finds the LinkedIn endpoint, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.

Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn?

Upscrape reads public pages only and needs no login. How you use the data is yours to decide under the laws that apply to you; we sign a data processing agreement for your legal review.

What happens when LinkedIn changes its pages?

We fix the endpoint. Your request and the response fields stay the same.
