Linkedin Get User

Price: 1-9 credits depending on requested fields. Base price is 9 credits. Each field explicitly set to false reduces the price by 1 credit (minimum 1 credit): with_experience, with_education, with_honors, with_certificates, with_languages, with_patents, with_skills, with_description_and_top_skills.

The fast_mode flag costs 6 credits.

💡 AI Hint: Entry point for user data. Accepts alias, URL, or URN. Returns full profile with URN needed for sub-endpoints. Do NOT guess LinkedIn aliases/slugs — always search for the person first using /linkedin/search/users, then use the returned profile URL or alias.

⚠️ Common errors: 412: User not found — do NOT guess aliases. Use /linkedin/search/users to find the correct alias or URN first.
