# Get LinkedIn profile skills

Automatically get LinkedIn profile skills on linkedin.com. Get the full list of skills a LinkedIn profile lists, in the order the profile shows them, from the profile's own skills page. Pass the public profile id or a full profile URL. Each skill comes with the supporting lines shown beneath it — the jobs, schools and certifications it is tied to, plus any endorsement or skill-assessment note — and, where the profile offers them, a link to the skill's endorsers list and a link to its detail page. Both links are per-skill rather than per-profile: most skills carry neither, a skill with endorsements usually carries the endorsers one, and only a skill with more detail than fits inline carries the detail one, so expect null on many entries. Profiles that list no skills come back as an empty list rather than an error. Requires being logged in to LinkedIn. Complements the profile experience and education scripts.
