Response

Returns one linkedin_profile. This is a real response, not an abbreviated one — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them.

What it costs

10 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 12 hours and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.

On the smallest pack that is $7.80 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $4.00. The full table.
