Search People

Search LinkedIn people profiles. Reliability notes: data.items: null can mean a transient LinkedIn-side failure, a query that is too broad, or pagination past LinkedIn's accessible result window. Always retry null responses before treating them as definitive. start: 0 is unusually flaky; prefer start: 10 as the first practical page or retry page 0 with start: 10. Use bounded pagination with start values from 10 through about 990 and do not request start >= 1000. Keep searches narrow, ideally below roughly 10,000 reported total results, by combining 2-3 specific filters. Broad searches such as keywordTitle alone, geo alone, a large company alone, or first/last name alone often return a populated total with null items. For large companies, add firstName, lastName, or a specific keywordTitle. Do not treat total as an exact count; it is a fluctuating LinkedIn estimate. You may see fewer than 10 results per page because LinkedIn hides some profiles and the endpoint filters those hidden profiles from the returned items.
