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

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

pageinteger

1-based page number. Defaults to 1.

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.

cursorstring

The pagination.next_cursor from the previous page, sent back unchanged. Omit it for the first page.

dry_run'1'

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
