Linkup API for LinkedIn

Overview

This node integrates with the Linkup API to automate LinkedIn activities. Specifically, the Profile - Get My Profile operation retrieves the authenticated user's LinkedIn profile information via the Linkup API.

Typical use cases include:

• Automatically fetching your own LinkedIn profile data for further processing or analysis.
• Integrating LinkedIn profile details into workflows such as CRM updates, reporting, or personalized messaging.
• Using the profile data as a basis for networking or recruitment automation.

Example: A user can trigger this node to get their LinkedIn profile details and then use that data to update a contact record in a database or send a customized message based on profile attributes.

Properties

Output

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the Linkup API to authenticate requests.
• The node uses the Linkup API base URL: https://api.linkupapi.com/v1.
• Network connectivity to the Linkup API service.
• Optional configuration of timeout and retry count through advanced options.

Troubleshooting

• Missing API Key Error: If the API key credential is not configured or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating the missing API key. Solution: Configure the required API key credential in the node settings.
• Request Timeout: If the request takes longer than the specified timeout (default 30 seconds), it may fail. Adjust the timeout in advanced options if needed.
• API Errors: Any errors returned by the Linkup API will be included in the output JSON under an error field. Check the error message for details.
• Network Issues: Ensure stable internet connection and that the Linkup API endpoint is reachable.
• Invalid Credentials: If authentication fails due to incorrect email/password or token, verify credentials are correct and up to date.
