Resolve an anonymous LinkedIn link
resolve_profileReveal who is behind an anonymous LinkedIn profile link. Billable: about $0.0005 per resolved profile (an unresolvable reference is free; duplicates in one batch are billed per row) at the Tier 0 list price. Accounts can pay a different rate: get_balance returns this account's prices, and every response reports what was actually spent in cost.amount_charged_usd. Takes the obfuscated links that Sales Navigator leaves in exports, CRMs and ad platforms (linkedin.com/in/ACwAA…), plus Sales Navigator lead URLs, bare profile ids and urns, and returns the real profile URL and identity. profiles (up to 50) resolves a batch in one call. The id it returns is the identifier enrich_lead, generate_email and find_phone accept, so this is the cheap first step before a full record. Returns identity only (no location, company or work history; enrich_lead has those). The numeric member id is not accepted as input (LinkedIn answers 403 to it); it comes back as linkedin_id.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | No | Alias for `url` — same accepted values. Use whichever reads better. | |
| url | No | A single LinkedIn person reference: profile URL of any flavour (including /in/ACwAA… and /sales/lead/…), a public identifier, an obfuscated id (ACwAA… or ACoAA…) or an urn. Matched case-insensitively. | |
| compact | No | Default true: return a small per-profile summary (including the Generect `id`, which every later step accepts). Set false for the full raw record (~80 fields) — only worth it when you specifically need skills, education or other deep fields. | |
| profiles | No | Batch mode: 1–50 references, mixed freely. One row per input, in input order, each either a resolved profile or {input, error}. Duplicates are billed per row — deduplicate first. | |
| timeout_ms | No | Request timeout in milliseconds. |
