Overview

This node enables various LinkedIn-related operations by interacting with an external service via HTTP requests. It supports actions such as creating posts, commenting on posts, sending direct messages, searching for people, companies, or jobs, retrieving user information, and managing cookies for authentication.

Typical use cases include automating LinkedIn marketing campaigns (e.g., posting content, messaging), recruiting workflows (searching for candidates or jobs), social engagement (commenting on posts), and user data retrieval. For example, a marketer could automate posting updates and sending direct messages to prospects, while a recruiter might search for candidates matching specific job titles and experience levels.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with LinkedIn services (referred generically as "an API key credential").
  • Relies on an external HTTP service at http://95.217.213.4:9768 which handles LinkedIn operations such as posting, messaging, searching, and user info retrieval.
  • Uses helper functions to format and serialize LinkedIn cookies for authentication.
  • Requires proper LinkedIn session cookies or credentials depending on the operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Errors: Operations require valid LinkedIn cookies or credentials. Ensure that cookies are correctly formatted and not expired. Use the "Create Cookies" operation to generate fresh cookies if needed.
  • Network or Service Unavailability: The node depends on an external service at a fixed IP and port. If this service is down or unreachable, requests will fail. Check network connectivity and service status.
  • Invalid Input Parameters: Providing incorrect or incomplete parameters (e.g., missing post URL for commenting) may cause errors. Verify all required fields for the chosen operation.
  • Error Messages: When an error occurs, the node outputs an error message in the JSON under the error key. Common errors include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or request timeouts. Review the error message and adjust inputs accordingly.
  • Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node continues processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details per item.
