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 info and conversations, and managing cookies for authentication.

Typical use cases include automating LinkedIn marketing campaigns, managing communications, gathering data about users or job listings, and integrating LinkedIn interactions into broader workflows. For example, a marketer could automate posting content and commenting on posts, or a recruiter could search for candidates based on job titles and keywords.

Output

The node outputs JSON objects corresponding to the result of the selected operation. The structure varies depending on the operation:

  • For createCookies, it returns an object containing the generated cookie string.
  • For createPost, commentOnPost, sendDm, and other interaction operations, it returns the response from the external service indicating success or failure.
  • For searchPeople, searchCompanies, searchJobs, getUserInfo, getUserConversations, and getConversationMessages, it returns structured data representing the search results or retrieved information.
  • In case of errors, the output JSON contains an error field with the error message.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with LinkedIn via the external service.
  • Relies on an external HTTP API hosted at http://95.217.213.4:9768 which performs the actual LinkedIn operations.
  • 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 requiring cookies may fail if invalid or expired cookies are provided. Ensure valid LinkedIn session cookies or create new ones using the "Create Cookies" operation.
  • Network Issues: Since the node depends on an external API, network failures or downtime of the service at 95.217.213.4 will cause errors.
  • Invalid Parameters: Missing or incorrect parameters like profile IDs, post URLs, or message content can lead to errors. Verify all required fields are correctly filled.
  • Error Handling: If the node is set to continue on failure, errors will be returned in the output JSON under an error field; otherwise, execution will stop with an error message.
  • Rate Limits: LinkedIn may impose rate limits; excessive requests might result in temporary blocks or errors.
