    - `skills` object[]: Present when requested via with_sections. Declared from the classic profile's own live-measured shape for the same underlying LinkedIn section, rather than from a Sales Navigator-specific capture. Confirm field-for-field against a real response before treating any inference, an absent field or one under a different name, as fact.

Present ONLY for skills you are eligible to endorse, i.e. those of your 1st-degree connections.

    - `experience` object[]: Present when requested via with_sections. Declared from the classic profile's own live-measured shape for the same underlying LinkedIn section, rather than from a Sales Navigator-specific capture. Confirm field-for-field against a real response before treating any inference, an absent field or one under a different name, as fact.
      - `id` string: Identifier of this work-experience entry. Not a company identifier.
      - `company` object: The employer. An object, not a name string.
        - `id` string, nullable: The organization's platform identifier, when known.
        - `name` string: The organization's name.
        - `public_identifier` string: The organization's public URL slug, when known.
        - `picture_url` string: The organization's logo URL.
        - `profile_url` string: Full LinkedIn URL for the organization.
        - `industries` string[]: The organization's industry labels.
      - `job_title` string: Job title held. This is the title field; there is no 'position' or 'title' key.
      - `started_on` string: Date the role started. Formatted MM/DD/YYYY, month first. The platform records month and year only. Every observed value on the classic profile's response uses day 01. Confirm against an entry whose real start date you know before assuming the day carries no information here.
      - `ended_on` string: Date the role ended. On the classic profile's response, an absent value means the entry is ongoing rather than unknown. Confirm on this surface before treating an absence as current. Formatted MM/DD/YYYY, month first. The platform records month and year only. The day component differs by field on the classic profile's response: a work-experience end date carries a 29 day offset that can push the value into the following month, while a certification's expiry date uses day 01. Confirm against an entry whose real dates you know before deriving a month from the day here.
      - `location` string: Where the role was based, as written on the profile.
      - `description` string: The member's own description of the role. Passes through verbatim, never stored.
      - `employment_type` string: Employment arrangement, e.g. PERMANENT, PERMANENT_PART_TIME, CONTRACT, CONTRACT_PART_TIME, FREELANCE, SELF_EMPLOYED, INTERNSHIP, APPRENTICESHIP, TEMPORARY, VOLUNTEERING. Not present on every entry.
      - `workplace_type` string: Working arrangement: ON_SITE, HYBRID, or REMOTE. Not present on every entry.
      - `skills` string[]: Skills the member associated with this role.
      - `skills_preview` string: A short summary line of the associated skills.
    - `education` object[]: Present when requested via with_sections. Declared from the classic profile's own live-measured shape for the same underlying LinkedIn section, rather than from a Sales Navigator-specific capture. Confirm field-for-field against a real response before treating any inference, an absent field or one under a different name, as fact.
      - `id` string: Identifier of this education entry.
      - `school` object: The institution. An object, not a name string.
        - `id` string, nullable: The organization's platform identifier, when known.
        - `name` string: The organization's name.
        - `public_identifier` string: The organization's public URL slug, when known.
        - `picture_url` string: The organization's logo URL.
        - `profile_url` string: Full LinkedIn URL for the organization.
        - `industries` string[]: The organization's industry labels.
      - `degree` string: Name of the degree or qualification.
      - `fields_of_study` string[]: Subjects studied. Plural and always an array, even for a single subject.
      - `grade` string: Grade or academic level reached.
      - `activities` string: Activities carried out during the studies.
      - `description` string: The member's own description of the studies. Passes through verbatim, never stored.
      - `started_on` string: Date the studies started. Formatted MM/DD/YYYY, month first. The platform records month and year only. Every observed value on the classic profile's response uses day 01. Confirm against an entry whose real start date you know before assuming the day carries no information here.
      - `ended_on` string: Date the studies ended. On the classic profile's response, an absent value means the entry is ongoing rather than unknown. Confirm on this surface before treating an absence as current. Formatted MM/DD/YYYY, month first. The platform records month and year only. The day component differs by field on the classic profile's response: a work-experience end date carries a 29 day offset that can push the value into the following month, while a certification's expiry date uses day 01. Confirm against an entry whose real dates you know before deriving a month from the day here.
      - `skills` string[]: Skills the member associated with the studies.
      - `skills_preview` string: A short summary line of the associated skills.
    - `throttled_sections` string[]: Present when available.
  - `safety_warning` SafetyWarning: Present on a successful response when this account crossed an account-safety ceiling while the affected budget row is on the default warn posture. The action still happened. Field-identical to the BUDGET_EXHAUSTED error body except that blocked is false and hint.message describes the outcome, so one branch handles both postures and switching the account to enforce is a configuration change rather than a client rewrite.
    - `row` string, nullable, required: The budget row that breached, for example profile_views or pending_invites. Null when the breach is not about a row: an activity_window warning on an action that spends no budget of its own (editing a message, dismissing a notification, a Recruiter or Sales Navigator admin action) is still governed by the hours the account works in. Read hint.parameter for what to change; whenever this is null it names posture, because the activity window edges are set per action type and this action has none, so the levers that reach it are the account timezone and posture.
    - `reset_at` string, nullable, required: The instant the refusal lifts: the window roll on a ceiling refusal, the next window open on an activity-window one. Null in the two cases no clock frees, the pending_invites gauge and InMail credits (row inmail).
    - `hint` object, required
      - `parameter` string, required: The settable parameter on PATCH /v1/{account_id}/safety-policy.
      - `message` string, required: What the condition is and what changing that parameter would do. This is the one field whose text differs from the BUDGET_EXHAUSTED refusal: here it says the action went through, and on a ceiling breach how far past the ceiling this row now stands, rather than telling you to set posture to warn when it already is. Branch on parameter, reason and blocked, never on this text.
    - `reason` 'ceiling' | 'activity_window', required: Which rule was crossed. ceiling means the row's configured limit is spent; activity_window means the account is outside the hours it works in, which is a different fact with a different remedy. hint.parameter names the right setting for each.
    - `blocked` boolean, required: Always false here. True on the BUDGET_EXHAUSTED refusal carrying the same payload.

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request, malformed identifier or with_sections value.
- `401`: Unauthenticated, missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: Forbidden. Either NO_ACTIVE_SEAT (the account is not attached to an active seat), or LINKEDIN_FEATURE_NOT_SUBSCRIBED (the connected LinkedIn account lacks the Sales Navigator subscription; activate it on LinkedIn, reconnecting will not help). The code field distinguishes the two.
- `404`: RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND, the profile does not exist, or ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND; the account_id does not exist or does not belong to this tenant. An id whose connection was replaced or removed also stops resolving here, and it is already absent from the list, so re-read `GET /v1/accounts` for the current id.
- `429`: RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNT, request rate exceeded.
- `500`: Internal error.
- `502`: A temporary error occurred. Please try again.
- `503`: Service unavailable.
- `504`: Gateway timeout.
