List 1st-degree connections

Lists the connected account's 1st-degree connections, newest-first. Source for the connection_accepted signal kind on the cadence runner; usable directly by clients rendering a "connections" view.

Names are included — no profile lookup needed

Unlike the URN-only legacy LinkedIn endpoints, this response returns fully-resolved firstName, lastName, fullName, headline, and pictureUrl extracted server-side from LinkedIn's SDUI payload. Render directly.

• fullName — Convenience field, firstName + " " + lastName with internal whitespace normalised. Use this for display rather than concatenating firstName/lastName yourself.
• connectedAt — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the connection formed. Nullable for older connections where LinkedIn doesn't surface the date.
• pictureUrl — Direct CDN URL. Nullable for accounts without a photo. Stable enough to cache for ~24h.
• publicIdentifier — linkedin.com/in/<slug> segment. Build a profile URL with https://www.linkedin.com/in/${publicIdentifier}/.
• profileUrn — Use for cross-endpoint joins (matching against the participants[].urn from GET /linkedin/conversations, or against connection_accepted signal payloads).

Pagination

Newest-first. start=0,count=50 returns the most recent 50. LinkedIn's SDUI pager returns ~10 per page internally; this endpoint paginates server-side to satisfy count up to the cap of 100. For larger backfills, page through with start increments.
