Search for LinkedIn Profile

The LinkedIn Profile Search API finds a person or company’s LinkedIn profile from a name and company domain.

Pass a full name (MoltSets splits it into first and last name for you) or send first_name and last_name separately, then add the company as a domain, for example acme.com. URLs are normalised automatically, so there’s no need to clean up your inputs first.

Run a free count first with count_only: true to see how many matches exist, then tighten or loosen your search before spending tokens. Full results are only charged when a match is actually found, so an empty search costs nothing.

Use this endpoint to:

Confirm you have the right LinkedIn profile before enriching a contact
Check match volume before running a bulk search
Attach LinkedIn URLs to contact records that are missing one

Fair Use Policy: This API is subject to our Fair Use Policy for Search.
