Overview
This node integrates with the LINKUP API to automate LinkedIn-related tasks. It supports multiple operations such as logging in, verifying security codes sent by email, retrieving LinkedIn profiles, extracting public profile information, searching for profiles or companies, getting company details, and sending connection requests.
The Verify Code operation specifically allows users to verify a security code received via email during the LinkedIn authentication process. This is useful in scenarios where two-factor authentication or email verification is required to complete login or secure actions on LinkedIn through the LINKUP service.
Practical examples:
- After initiating a login operation that sends a verification code to your email, use this node’s Verify Code operation to submit that code and complete authentication.
- Automate LinkedIn login flows requiring email code verification without manual intervention.

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the LINKUP API related to the verification request. The output includes:
- The full API response fields relevant to the verification result.
- A
_metaobject with metadata including:operation: the performed operation name (verifyCode).timestamp: ISO timestamp of execution.nodeVersion: version of the node implementation.
- The output is paired with the input item index for traceability.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active LINKUP API key credential.
- Optionally requires LinkedIn email and password credentials if not using saved credentials.
- Network access to
https://api.linkupapi.com/v1endpoint. - n8n HTTP Request helper is used internally to perform API calls.
- Proxy country selection affects routing of requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid API Key or Credentials: Error message "Clé API ou credentials invalides" indicates incorrect or missing API key or LinkedIn credentials. Verify your LINKUP API key and LinkedIn login details.
- Request Limit Reached: Error "Limite de requêtes atteinte" means you have hit the API rate limit. Wait before retrying.
- Invalid Request: Errors with status 400 indicate malformed or incomplete request parameters. Check that all required fields like email and verification code are correctly set.
- Timeouts or Network Issues: Adjust the "Timeout" advanced option if requests take too long or fail due to network latency.
- Retries: Use the "Nombre de tentatives" option to automatically retry failed requests.
