linkedin

Profile › About

Returns the month a LinkedIn member joined and how recently contact details and the profile photo were updated, plus identity verification when LinkedIn shows it for that member.

Use it to judge how current a profile is. Verification is included only for members whose verification panel can be read. Values come back as relative text, not exact dates.

50 credits per call.

Request

  • Base URL: https://api.insightsocial.app
  • URL: https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/linkedin/profile/about

Query parameters

urlstring required
Example:https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/

Full URL of the LinkedIn profile, company, or post.

urnstring

The member's opaque LinkedIn URN, as returned in author.ext.urn by /v1/linkedin/profile. Optional, and a pure optimisation: pass it ALONGSIDE url (which stays required) and this call skips the internal handle lookup, so it answers faster. Verified on the deployed API 05/09/2026.
