Implementation Reference
- src/services/client.service.ts:122-141 (handler)The core handler function that executes the get_profile tool logic. It accepts publicId or urnId, constructs the appropriate LinkedIn API endpoint, and fetches profile data including details like positions, education, skills, etc.
public async getProfile(params: GetProfileParams): Promise<LinkedInProfile> { if (!params.publicId && !params.urnId) { throw new Error('Either publicId or urnId must be provided') } const idTypeMapping: Record<string, () => string> = { publicId: () => `/people/${params.publicId}`, urnId: () => `/people/${encodeURIComponent(params.urnId as string)}` } const idType = Object.keys(idTypeMapping).find((key) => params[key as keyof GetProfileParams]) if (!idType) { throw new Error('No valid ID provided') } const endpoint = idTypeMapping[idType]() + '?projection=(id,firstName,lastName,profilePicture,headline,summary,industry,location,positions,educations,skills)' return this.makeRequest<LinkedInProfile>('get', endpoint) - src/schemas/linkedin.schema.ts:28-31 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameters for get_profile tool: optional publicId and urnId fields
