-H "Authorization: Bearer $UNIFAPI_KEY"Parameters
- usernamepathrequired

- The parameter for this LinkedIn operation. Use the URL-visible slug or id described in the docs.
This operation is part of the LinkedIn API in the social platforms category. It uses the same Bearer token, request tracing, error model, and billing envelope as every UnifAPI endpoint, so agents can switch between platforms without custom per-vendor glue code.
Use it when a workflow needs LinkedIn public data but should still keep one API key, one account balance, and one predictable JSON contract across social, live public-data sources.
Common agent workflows
- Fetch canonical public LinkedIn content for summarization, ranking, monitoring, or enrichment.
- Attach engagement, author, media, and source metadata to an agent workflow.
- Give an AI agent a stable LinkedIn data source without building a per-platform integration.
- Normalize LinkedIn responses into the same UnifAPI envelope used across the catalog.
Unified envelope, platform-native fields
- List-style responses return `data` as an array of top-level records plus optional `pagination` for continuation tokens or cursors.
- The `billing.records_charged` field reports the charged billable-record quantity for the successful response.
- If the workspace balance cannot cover every result, the response can be truncated and `billing.truncated_due_to_balance` tells the caller why.
Response status codes
Billing
This operation charges 1 credit per billable record, with a 1 credit ($0.001) operation minimum. Public responses include billing metadata with credits charged, records charged, and remaining workspace balance. Incorrect Credit deductions caused by platform failures can be restored as billing corrections.
Errors and retries
Authentication, validation, rate-limit, not-found, and provider errors use the unified UnifAPI error format. Agents should log `request_id`, retry only retryable failures, and treat invalid API keys, disabled keys, and expired keys as the same public `unauthorized` error type.

Agents & Skills built on LinkedIn
You rarely call List posts authored by a LinkedIn user by hand. These prebuilt agents and skills already read LinkedIn data inside Claude or Codex — start from one of them, or call this endpoint yourself.
