  • Skill endorsements. st.endorsePersonSkill endorses one skill of a 1st-degree connection by its name, and st.doForSkills under st.retrievePersonSkills endorses all of the person's skills or only those whose names match RE2 skillNamePatterns, reporting the outcome for each selected skill; the same is available as endorsePersonSkill and endorsePersonSkills in the Node SDK, linkedin person endorse in the CLI, endorse_person_skill and endorse_person_skills in the MCP server and the Endorse person skill and Endorse person skills actions in n8n. Docs

Week of

  • One person's conversation. /inbox/poll with personUrl returns the whole known conversation with one person, the messages the inbox captured together with history loaded by st.syncConversation or nv.syncConversation, and its threads say how far back each thread's history goes with historyFrom and historyComplete; the same view is available as pollInbox in the Node SDK, linkedin inbox get --person in the CLI and get_inbox in the MCP server. Docs

Week of

  • Viewer state. Person and content results carry a viewerState object that says how your account relates to them: people, including the authors of posts and comments, report your connectionDegree (1st, 2nd or 3rd+), and posts and comments report your reaction and isOwn, or null where it cannot be read. Docs
  • Connection degree filters. st.searchPeople, nv.searchPeople, st.retrieveCompanyEmployees and nv.retrieveCompanyEmployees filter by your connection degree with connectionDegrees (1st, 2nd, 3rd+, plus groupMembers on Sales Navigator), also available as CLI flags. Docs
  • Signed webhooks and custom headers. Webhook deliveries can carry an HMAC-SHA256 signature to verify and custom headers for an endpoint that requires authentication, both off by default and set through webhook.set, webhook.setSigning and webhook.setHeader, with endpoints to reveal and rotate the secret and to replace or delete headers. Docs
  • Event selection. A webhook can receive only the events you choose, exact types such as workflow.completed or whole namespaces such as inbox.*, set with events on webhook.set, changed with webhook.setEvents or under Advanced → Events on the platform; a webhook that never chooses keeps receiving every event. Docs
  • Webhook management in the SDKs and CLI. The Node and Python SDKs and the CLI manage webhook signing, custom headers and event selection, and the SDKs verify a signed delivery with verifyWebhookSignature / verify_webhook_signature. Docs
  • Changelog in the SDKs, CLI and MCP. Read this changelog with getChangelog / get_changelog from code, linkedin changelog from the terminal or the get_changelog tool in the MCP server, with no token. Docs

Week of

  • Reposts. st.createRepost reposts someone else's post or your own, as is or with your commentary, addressed by postUrl or postUrn. Docs
  • Mentions. st.createPost and st.createRepost tag up to 20 people and companies through mentions: write @[key] in the text and describe each key with a name, optionally pinned by urn, personHashedUrl or companyHashedUrl. Docs
  • Post URNs. Opening, reacting to, commenting on and reposting a post, and reading its comments and reactions, accept postUrn instead of postUrl, and st.createPost returns the new post's postUrn when LinkedIn gives it an address and, in workflows sent to the API, can run st.openPost on it as a child. Docs

Week of

  • Post search. st.searchPosts searches LinkedIn posts by keyword, with filters for the author, the date posted and the content type. Docs

Week of

  • Public profile URL in inbox events. Inbox polling and message webhooks carry personPublicUrl, the other participant's public URL, once Linked API has resolved it; it can be null on any message. Docs

Week of

  • Conversation sync period. st.syncConversation and nv.syncConversation accept days (1 to 90) and return syncUntil; sync lasts 30 days unless days says otherwise, and running the action again starts a new period without losing the history. Docs
  • LinkedIn URNs. Results carry LinkedIn's permanent identifiers next to URLs, urn for the person, company or job posting a result is about and fields such as companyUrn and personUrn for related entities, including in inbox and network events, or null where LinkedIn exposes none. Docs
  • Profile viewers. st.retrieveProfileViewers reads who viewed your profile and when; semi-private viewers come back as anonymous with a people-search URL, and viewers in full private mode are not returned. Docs
  • AI-powered jobs search. On LinkedIn's AI-powered jobs search, st.searchJobs takes preferences (date posted, experience levels, employment types, companies, remote, Easy Apply, under 10 applicants, in your network, keywords) that LinkedIn applies where it offers them, reports isSimilarMatch for each job, and leaves near matches out with allowSimilarResults: false. Docs

Week of

  • Working hours. An account can have a weekly activity window, set on the platform: your requests outside it are queued, rejected with outsideWorkingHours or run anyway depending on the account's policy, a workflow that has not started reports why in pendingReason, and an account with no window is never gated. Docs

Week of

  • Connection page completion. accounts.createConnectionSession and accounts.createReconnectionSession accept a completion object that sets how limits are handled on a new connection, a button back to your product, and redirects on success or failure. Docs

Week of

  • Feed. st.retrieveFeed reads your LinkedIn feed: the posts, their authors and their engagement counts. Docs
  • Comments. React to or reply to a single comment with st.reactToComment and st.replyToComment, open one with st.openComment, or act with st.doForComments on each comment st.retrievePostComments returns. Docs

Week of

  • Network sync. st.syncNetwork enables network monitoring, so connection events (accepted requests, new connections, incoming requests) arrive through polling or network.* webhooks for the changes made after you enable it. Docs
  • Profile photos and company logos. Person results carry avatarUrl and company results logoUrl, or null, on the profile, company page and search actions for standard LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. Docs
  • Company and newsletter invitations. Received invitations also include invitations to follow a company or subscribe to a newsletter, each with its invitationType, accepted or ignored with the same actions. Docs

Week of

  • Inbox sync. Keep a LinkedIn inbox in sync and read it through the API, or receive its messages as inbox.messageReceived and inbox.messageSent webhooks, for standard LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. Docs
  • Conversations. st.sendMessage and nv.sendMessage reply into an existing thread by threadId, st.manageConversation archives, stars or mutes a conversation and undoes each, also right after sending a message, and nv.manageConversation archives and unarchives one. Docs
  • Received connection requests. Read the connection requests you have received, and accept or ignore each one. Docs

Week of

  • Webhooks. Register one HTTPS endpoint through the Admin API to receive workflow and account events instead of polling; deliveries are retried and can be listed, replayed and tested, and a completed workflow's result travels in the event or is fetched by id. Docs
