HDW LinkedIn

Overview

The node integrates with the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API to perform various LinkedIn-related data retrieval and search operations. Specifically, for the Search Industries operation under the Search resource, it allows users to search for LinkedIn industries by name. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to gather industry information or filter other LinkedIn data based on industry categories.

Practical examples include:

• Finding a list of industries matching a partial or full industry name.
• Using the industry search results to refine user or company searches.
• Automating market research workflows that require industry classification data from LinkedIn.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the search results returned by the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API for industries matching the provided name. The structure is an array of industry objects, each representing an industry found by the search.

• Each item in the output corresponds to one industry entry.
• The exact fields of each industry object depend on the API response but typically include identifiers, names, and possibly metadata about the industry.
• The node does not output binary data for this operation.

Example output snippet (conceptual):

[
  {
    "id": "industry:1234",
    "name": "Information Technology and Services",
    "description": "Industry related to IT services and consulting"
  },
  {
    "id": "industry:5678",
    "name": "Financial Services",
    "description": "Industry related to banking, investment, and insurance"
  }
]

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API.
• An API key credential for authentication must be configured in n8n under the node's credentials.
• The node sends POST requests to https://api.horizondatawave.ai/api/linkedin/search/industries endpoint.
• Proper network access and valid credentials are necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Timeouts: If the request times out, consider increasing the Timeout property value.
• Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
• Empty results: Verify the Industry Name input is correct and specific enough to match existing industries.
• API rate limits: Frequent or large requests may hit API rate limits; implement delays or reduce Count as needed.
• Error messages: The node returns error details in the output JSON if Continue On Fail is enabled. Check these messages for hints on issues like invalid parameters or server errors.
