Search for LinkedIn Profile
The LinkedIn Profile Search API finds a person or company's LinkedIn profile from a name and company domain.
Pass a full name (MoltSets splits it into first and last name for you) or send first_name and last_name separately, then add the company as a domain, for example acme.com. URLs are normalised automatically, so there's no need to clean up your inputs first.
Run a free count first with count_only: true to see how many matches exist, then tighten or loosen your search before spending tokens. Full results are only charged when a match is actually found, so an empty search costs nothing.
Use this endpoint to:
- Confirm you have the right LinkedIn profile before enriching a contact
- Check match volume before running a bulk search
- Attach LinkedIn URLs to contact records that are missing one
Fair Use Policy: This API is subject to our <a href="https://moltsets.com/fair-use-policy-search/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fair Use Policy for Search</a>.
Outcomes: A lookup that finds nothing is not an error. It returns HTTP 200 with status: "not_found", empty or null results, and the usual metadata — and costs no tokens, though it still counts as one request against your Fair Use requests limit. Read status, not the HTTP code, to tell a hit from a miss. The API's only 404 is an unknown or retired tool name.
