Resolve LinkedIn mention

Converts a LinkedIn profile or company URL to a URN for @mentions in posts.

How to use LinkedIn @mentions (2-step workflow):

1. Call this endpoint with the LinkedIn profile/company URL to get the mention URN and format.
2. Embed the returned mentionFormat (e.g. @Vincent Jong) directly in your post's content field.

Example:

• Resolve: GET /v1/accounts/{id}/linkedin-mentions?url=linkedin.com/in/vincentjong&displayName=Vincent Jong
• Returns: mentionFormat: "@Vincent Jong"
• Use in post content: "Great talk with @Vincent Jong today!"

Important: The mentions array field in POST /v1/posts is stored for reference only and does NOT trigger @mentions on LinkedIn. You must embed the mention format directly in the content text.

Requirements:

• Person mentions require the LinkedIn account to be admin of at least one organization: both endpoints that resolve a profile URL to a member URN take an organization you administer. Organization mentions (e.g. @Microsoft) have no such requirement.
• The two are not scoped alike. peopleTypeahead?q=organizationFollowers only returns that organization's followers; vanityUrl?q=vanityUrlAsOrganization does not, and its resolvable set is opaque. A 404 here does not mean the person is unknown to you or unknown to LinkedIn: a live public profile can 404 with no reason given.
• For person mentions to be clickable, the displayName parameter must exactly match the name shown on their LinkedIn profile.
• Person mentions DO work when published from personal profiles (the URN only needs to be valid). The limitation is only in the resolution step (URL to URN), not in publishing.
