Synchronous, returns the profile directly. `POST` `/profile` {% hint style="info" %} Costs **0.1 credit** per call (10 profiles for 1 credit). Set `full_profile` to `true` for the complete profile — education, full work history, open-to-work status, skills, certifications — which costs **0.3 credit** per call. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} The field is `person_linkedin_url`. The older `profile_url` name is no longer accepted and returns a 422. {% endhint %} The separate `/full_profile` route has been removed. It took the same inputs, ran the same flow and charged the same 0.3 credits, so `full_profile: true` here is a drop-in replacement. **Headers** | Name | Value | | ------------ | ------------------ | | Content-Type | `application/json` | **Body** | Name | Type | Description | | --------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `api_key` | string | Your API Key. | | `person_linkedin_url` | string | The LinkedIn profile URL to fetch data from. | | `full_profile` | boolean | Optional. Default `false` (0.1 credit). `true` returns the full profile (0.3 credit). | **Response** The person record sits directly under `data`. The same field names are used on every route that returns a person, so one piece of client code reads them all. | Field | Type | Description | | ---------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `person_name` | string | Full name. | | `first_name` | string | First name. | | `last_name` | string | Last name. | | `current_title` | string | Current job title. | | `headline` | string | The headline on the profile. | | `person_linkedin_url` | string | The profile URL. | | `organization_name` | string | The company the person works at now. | | `company_linkedin_url` | string | That company's LinkedIn page. | | `city` | string | City. | | `state` | string | State or region. | | `country` | string | Country name. | | `country_code` | string | Two-letter country code, lower case. | | `about` | string | The About section. | | `open_to_work` | boolean | Whether the person is open to work. `null` when the profile does not say. | | `follower_count` | number | Followers. | | `connection_count` | number | Connections. | | `work_experience` | array | Past and present roles. Filled on a full profile. | | `education_history` | array | Schools. Filled on a full profile. | | `skills` | array | Listed skills. | | `profile_picture_url` | string | Profile photo. | | `linkedin_id` | string | LinkedIn's own identifier for the profile. | | `extra` | object | Anything the source returned that has no name above. Present only when there is something to put in it. | See [Response Format](/getting-started/response-format.md) for the fields every endpoint returns. **Example** {% tabs %} {% tab title="Input" %} ```json { "api_key": "your_api_key", "person_linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/", "full_profile": false } ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Output — Basic" %} ```json { "status": "success", "data": { "person_name": "Bill Gates", "first_name": null, "last_name": null, "current_title": "Chair, Gates Foundation and Founder, Breakthrough Energy", "headline": null, "person_linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates", "organization_name": "Gates Foundation", "company_linkedin_url": null, "city": "Seattle", "state": "Washington", "country": "United States", "country_code": "us", "about": "Chair of the Gates Foundation.
