# Endorse a skill

Endorse one of a LinkedIn profile's listed skills, by profile URL and the exact skill name shown on their Skills page. Safe to call again on a skill already endorsed by this account — it reports that instead of erroring. Refuses if the profile lists no skills, or the given skill isn't among them.
