Resolve an anonymous LinkedIn link
resolve_profileResolve obfuscated LinkedIn references—including Sales Navigator links, IDs, and URNs—into real profile URLs and identities, in batches of up to 50.
Instructions
Reveal 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. |
