Linked API

Control your LinkedIn accounts and retrieve real-time data.

Actions27

Overview

The node "Linked API" provides automation capabilities for LinkedIn accounts, allowing users to control their LinkedIn data and perform various operations in real-time. Specifically, the Remove Connection operation enables users to remove a LinkedIn connection by specifying the person's public or hashed LinkedIn URL. This is useful for managing your LinkedIn network programmatically, such as cleaning up connections or automating network management tasks.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically removing connections that no longer meet certain criteria.
  • Integrating LinkedIn connection management into broader CRM workflows.
  • Cleaning up connections after an event or campaign.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webhook URL The URL where the response will be sent via webhook after the operation completes.
Person URL The public or hashed LinkedIn URL of the person whose connection you want to remove.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the remove connection operation. This typically includes confirmation of the removal action or any relevant status messages returned by the LinkedIn API wrapper service.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to attachments or media related to the operation, but this operation focuses on connection removal and thus primarily outputs JSON status information.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LinkedIn automation API service.
  • Needs a valid webhook URL configured to receive asynchronous responses.
  • The base API endpoint used is https://api.linkedapi.io/automation/execute.
  • The node sends POST requests with JSON payloads containing operation details.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or malformed Person URL may cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrect or unreachable webhook URL can prevent receiving operation results.
    • Missing or invalid API authentication token will block access to the LinkedIn API.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors indicate problems with the provided API key; verify credentials.
    • Validation errors usually point to missing required fields like Person URL or Webhook URL.
    • Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity issues with the LinkedIn API service or webhook endpoint.

To resolve these, ensure all required properties are correctly set, credentials are valid, and URLs are accessible.
