LinkedIn Profile Search
anyapi_post_v1_run_linkedin_search_profilesSearch LinkedIn profiles by keyword with optional location and job-title filters. Each match returns a full profile record: name, headline, location, current position, work experience, education, and skills, plus the profile URL, handle, and id. For a cheaper name/headline/URL-only search use linkedin.search_profiles_thin; add emails with linkedin.search_profiles_email. Uses the caller's OpenAny gateway credentials. Charges and authorization are determined by the gateway.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| jq | No | Optional. A jq expression applied to the result envelope; its output replaces `output` (multiple outputs collect into an array). Reshape freely, e.g. `jq=.data | {title, description, md: .markdown[:3500]}`. Runs sandboxed with a 250ms / 2MB budget; on failure the full result is returned with a `jqError`. Does not change cost. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of full profiles to return (1-25, default 10). You are billed per profile returned, so a lower limit costs less. | |
| query | Yes | Search query for LinkedIn profiles: a role, name, or keywords (e.g. 'Marketing Manager'). | |
| fields | No | Optional. Comma-separated keys (dotted paths like `author.name` descend into nested objects) to keep on each result item: each row of the API's result list, or the `data` object itself for an API that returns one record. Keys are matched relative to that item, not against the top-level response envelope, so use `jq` to reshape the whole envelope. Shrinks the response without changing cost. | |
| source | No | Optional. Source ids to prefer, in order, taken from this endpoint's `lanes[].source.id` in /catalog or /apis. Omit it and the cheapest source serves, with automatic failover. Listed sources are tried first in the order given, then the others, unless `allowFallbacks` is false. A single source with `allowFallbacks` false is served only by that source at its price, quoted and charged exactly, with no failover. The price is that of the dearest source that may serve. An id that does not serve this endpoint is rejected as invalid input with no charge; a listed source that is not serving right now is refused with no charge, so omit `source` to be served by another. On a paginated walk, later pages must include the source that served page one, or omit `source`. | |
| schools | No | Filter to people who attended any of these schools, by name. | |
| summary | No | Optional. Return only a structural outline (top-level keys, item counts, and per-field byte sizes) instead of the full data. Does not change cost. | |
| jobTitle | No | Optional current job title filter (e.g. 'Software Engineer'). | |
| location | No | Optional location filter (e.g. 'San Francisco'). | |
| lastNames | No | Filter to people whose last name matches any of these. | |
| max_items | No | Optional. Cap the number of result rows returned; a `_truncated` note reports how many were withheld so you can page via the API's own `limit`. An API that returns one record is not trimmed. Does not change cost. | |
| firstNames | No | Filter to people whose first name matches any of these. | |
| functionIds | No | Filter by job function. Codes: 1=Accounting, 2=Administrative, 3=Arts and Design, 4=Business Development, 5=Community and Social Services, 6=Consulting, 7=Education, 8=Engineering, 9=Entrepreneurship, 10=Finance, 11=Healthcare Services, 12=Human Resources, 13=Information Technology, 14=Legal, 15=Marketing, 16=Media and Communication, 17=Military and Protective Services, 18=Operations, 19=Product Management, 20=Program and Project Management, 21=Purchasing, 22=Quality Assurance, 23=Real Estate, 24=Research, 25=Sales, 26=Customer Success and Support. | |
| max_cost_usd | No | Optional. The most you are willing to pay for this one request, in US dollars (for example 0.05). Any route that would charge more than this is not used, so a request only ever runs on something you can afford. If nothing is available at or below your amount, the request is refused before it runs, nothing is charged, and the message tells you the cheapest price per request so you can raise it. Leave it out to accept the normal price. | |
| ignoreSources | No | Optional. Source ids to skip for this request, taken from this endpoint's `lanes[].source.id`. The cheapest remaining source serves and the price is that of the dearest remaining source. An id that does not serve this endpoint, or that is also in `source`, is rejected as invalid input with no charge; skipping every source is rejected the same way. | |
| pastCompanies | No | Filter to people who previously worked at any of these companies, by name. | |
| pastJobTitles | No | Filter by a past job title the person held (e.g. ['Product Manager']). | |
| allowFallbacks | No | Optional, default true. When false, only the sources listed in `source` may serve; the request is refused with no charge if none of them can. When true, the listed sources are tried first and any other source may serve after them, at the normal price. | |
| excludeSchools | No | Exclude people who attended any of these schools, by name. | |
| Idempotency-Key | No | Optional wallet idempotency key, scoped to this customer for 24 hours. When the gateway honors the key, this synchronous in-process execution can continue after the caller disconnects, bounded by its execution deadline. A completed replayable result charges normally exactly once and can be replayed without another provider run or charge. A pending duplicate returns 409 idempotency_in_progress; reuse with different request semantics returns 409 idempotency_conflict. | |
| companyHeadcount | No | Filter by current company size (employee count). Codes: A=Self-Employed, B=1-10, C=11-50, D=51-200, E=201-500, F=501-1,000, G=1,001-5,000, H=5,001-10,000, I=10,001+. | |
| currentCompanies | No | Filter to people who currently work at any of these companies, by name (e.g. ['Google','Meta']). Multiple names widen the match (OR). | |
| excludeLocations | No | Exclude people in any of these locations, by place name. | |
| profileLanguages | No | Filter by the profile's primary language. | |
| seniorityLevelIds | No | Filter by seniority level. Codes: 100=In Training, 110=Entry Level, 120=Senior, 130=Strategic, 200=Entry Level Manager, 210=Experienced Manager, 220=Director, 300=Vice President, 310=CXO, 320=Owner/Partner. | |
| excludeFunctionIds | No | Exclude these job functions (same codes as functionIds). | |
| recentlyChangedJobs | No | When true, only return people who recently changed jobs (a strong sales/recruiting signal). | |
| excludePastCompanies | No | Exclude people who previously worked at any of these companies, by name. | |
| excludePastJobTitles | No | Exclude people who held any of these past job titles. | |
| preferLatencyUnderMs | No | Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Prefer sources whose typical response time (median over the trailing 30 days, as published on this endpoint's lane health) is under this many milliseconds; among those, the cheapest serves. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source misses the target, a faster and dearer one serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. If no source is that fast the request is still served, by whichever source offers the best speed for its price - it is never refused for being slow. Sources we have not timed are tried last. This is a preference, not a guarantee: the median describes past requests and is not a ceiling on this one, and it excludes any wait this request itself asks for. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only: later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted. | |
| yearsOfExperienceIds | No | Filter by total years of experience. Codes: 1=Less than 1 year, 2=1 to 2 years, 3=3 to 5 years, 4=6 to 10 years, 5=More than 10 years. | |
| excludeCurrentCompanies | No | Exclude people who currently work at any of these companies, by name. | |
| excludeCurrentJobTitles | No | Exclude people whose current job title matches any of these. | |
| excludeSeniorityLevelIds | No | Exclude these seniority levels (same codes as seniorityLevelIds). | |
| recentlyPostedOnLinkedIn | No | When true, only return people who recently posted on LinkedIn (an activity signal). | |
| yearsAtCurrentCompanyIds | No | Filter by tenure at the current company. Codes: 1=Less than 1 year, 2=1 to 2 years, 3=3 to 5 years, 4=6 to 10 years, 5=More than 10 years. | |
| companyHeadquarterLocations | No | Filter by the location of the person's current company headquarters, by place name (e.g. ['United States']). | |
| excludeCompanyHeadquarterLocations | No | Exclude people whose current company is headquartered in any of these locations. |
