Overview
This node integrates with the Linkup API to automate LinkedIn networking activities. Specifically, the Network - Get Connections operation retrieves a list of your LinkedIn connections using the Linkup API. This is useful for scenarios where you want to programmatically access and process your LinkedIn network data, such as exporting contacts, analyzing connection patterns, or integrating LinkedIn connections into CRM systems.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically fetching your LinkedIn connections to update a contact database.
- Filtering connections by invitation type or country.
- Paginating through large connection lists for batch processing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Invitation Type | Filter connections by invitation type (e.g., CONNECTION, ORGANIZATION). |
| Number of Results | Maximum number of connection results to retrieve. |
| Start Page | The first page number to retrieve in paginated results. |
| End Page | The last page number to retrieve in paginated results. |
| Country Code | Country code used for proxy selection (e.g., FR for France, US for United States). |
| Timeout | Request timeout duration in milliseconds. |
| Retry Count | Number of retry attempts on request failure. |
These properties are grouped under two collections:
- Linkup Parameters (
networkListParams): Contains filters and pagination options for retrieving connections. - Advanced Options (
additionalFields): Contains request timeout and retry count settings.
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Linkup API for the "Get Connections" operation. The output structure includes:
- The main API response fields representing the connections data.
- A
_debugobject with details about the request body, headers, endpoint URL, and raw API response for troubleshooting. - A
_metaobject containing metadata such as resource name ("network"), operation name ("getConnections"), timestamp of execution, and node version. pairedItemindicating the input item index this output corresponds to.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Linkup API to authenticate requests.
- The node uses HTTP POST requests to the Linkup API endpoint
/network/connections. - The user must configure their Linkup API credentials in n8n before using this node.
- Optional country code parameter influences proxy selection for requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing API Key Error: If the API key credential is not configured, the node will throw an error indicating the missing API key. To resolve, set up the required API authentication token in the node credentials.
- Timeouts or Network Errors: Requests may fail due to network issues or slow responses. Adjust the "Timeout" and "Retry Count" advanced options to improve reliability.
- Invalid Parameter Values: Providing invalid country codes or invitation types may result in empty or error responses. Verify that parameters conform to expected values.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the Linkup API. Implement retries and respect rate limits as per Linkup API documentation.
