# Resolve mention (LinkedIn only)

`GET /api/profiles/{id}/resolve_mention`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.postproxy.dev`
- URL: `https://api.postproxy.dev/api/profiles/{id}/resolve_mention`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

LinkedIn only. Turns a LinkedIn company page URL (or its slug) into the URN LinkedIn needs to render an @-mention — mentions are written into post text as @[Display Name](urn), e.g. @[Postproxy](urn:li:organization:110810308). Company, showcase and school pages all resolve; the page does not have to be one this connection administers. Person mentions (linkedin.com/in/...) can't be resolved yet — person lookup is coming soon; a person URL returns 400. Results are cached for 1 hour per page, including pages that resolve to nothing.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `url` string, required
- `profile_group_id` string

## Response `200`

The resolved mention URN

- object
  - `urn` string: LinkedIn URN to put inside @[...](...)
  - `type` string: Always organization today
  - `name` string: The page's name — a sensible default for the mention's display text
  - `vanity_name` string: The slug that matched, to confirm the right page came back

## Other responses

- `400`: Missing required parameters.
- `401`: Invalid, missing, or insufficient API key permissions.
- `404`: Resource does not exist or is not accessible.
