LinkedIn profile search by name

Find LinkedIn profiles by a person’s first and last name, with optional filters for location, current or past company, school, job title and industry.

Use when you know who you are looking for by name and want their LinkedIn profile. To search by role or skill rather than by name, use linkedin.search_services instead.

Price

$0.0120 per profile. That is the rate you pay for each profile the call returns, so the total depends on how many it produces. Billing follows actual usage, so a call that returns fewer profiles costs less. discover and inspect also return a ceiling for your specific request, which is a maximum you will never be charged above.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Notes
`schools`	`array`		School names to filter by, e.g. “Stanford University”
`lastName`	`string`	yes	Last name of the person to find
`maxItems`	`integer`		Maximum profiles to return. This is the field the price is sized on. Defaults to `10`.
`maxPages`	`integer`		Search pages to scrape per query. Each page holds 25 profiles, so raising this raises the bill. Defaults to `1`.
`firstName`	`string`	yes	First name of the person to find
`locations`	`array`		LinkedIn location filters, e.g. “United Kingdom”. LinkedIn misreads abbreviations, so spell the country out.
`industryIds`	`array`		LinkedIn industry ids to filter by
`strictSearch`	`boolean`		Return only profiles matching both first and last name exactly. Turning this off widens the search and can bill many more profiles. Defaults to `true`.
`pastCompanies`	`array`		Full LinkedIn company URLs to filter by past employer
`currentCompanies`	`array`		Full LinkedIn company URLs to filter by current employer
`currentJobTitles`	`array`		Exact current job titles to filter by
`profileScraperMode`	`Short`, `Full`, `Full + email search`		Detail level per profile, and what each profile costs. Short bills $0.002, Full bills$ 0.004, and Full + email search bills $0.010, so the email mode is 5x the price of Short. Defaults to the cheapest; ask for more only if you need it. Defaults to `"Short"`.

Goro forwards your input to the underlying tool unchanged, so any field the tool accepts works here even if it is not listed above.
