Get LinkedIn profile posts
TL;DR
About
Give it the slug from a LinkedIn profile URL, jane-doe in linkedin.com/in/jane-doe, and a count, and you get that person's recent activity back in feed order, their own posts mixed with whatever they reposted. It suits a quick look before a first message, or keeping an eye on what two or three rival founders post each week. A recruiter about to message a staff engineer might pull 20 entries, drop the plain reposts and find a post from three weeks ago about a Postgres migration with 40 comments under it. That is the opening line. Reaction, comment and repost counts are plain numbers as strings, null when zero, so convert them before sorting. Ages come as LinkedIn's relative labels such as 3w, media-only posts arrive with text null and no image link, and a run stops at 100. You also only see what your own signed-in account is allowed to see.

Search LinkedIn people
Search LinkedIn people by keywords with optional title, name, company, school, currentCompanyIds/pastCompanyIds (numeric ids from get_company_info), connectionDegrees, connectionOf, geoUrn, and a page number (10 people per page). Returns page, total, hasNextPage and people (name, url, publicId, memberUrn, degree, headline, location, snippet, followers, the mutual-connections line, and the members in common as data: up to two named mutuals with their profile, and mutualCount). Members in common: each 2nd-degree card names up to two of the people who connect you, and mutualCount says how many there are. To list them all, pass the card's memberUrn as connectionOf. Works alone or with any other filter. Empty results: people is [] and total is 0 only when LinkedIn shows its empty state. When LinkedIn shows another page instead of results (the monthly search limit of a free account, a security check), the run fails and names what the page showed. Location: this script takes LinkedIn geo ids only. To search a place, call suggest_locations with the place name first, then pass the geoUrn of the suggestion you want.
Get LinkedIn profile
Get one LinkedIn profile by its public id or profile URL: name, headline, location and its geo id, current company, About text, photo, connection degree, follower and connection counts, the stable member id, and the full lists of experience, education, languages, certifications and honors, in the order the profile shows them, with LinkedIn's ids for companies and schools and dates as month and year. A role's location is the text the member saved, which can be translated or misspelled. Skills are in linkedin.com/get_profile_skills and contact details in linkedin.com/get_profile_contact_info. A field is null and a list is empty when the profile does not show it. Fails with a clear message when the browser is not signed in to LinkedIn, when the profile does not exist, or when LinkedIn limits the account.
Get LinkedIn profile experience
Get the full experience list from a LinkedIn profile's dedicated experience page by publicId, with grouped companies expanded to one entry per role. Returns positions (title, company, companyUrl, employmentType, dateRange, duration, location, description).
