Administration

Manage your Linked API subscription, connected accounts, and rate limits from the terminal.

Admin commands use your Linked API Token and do not require an active account. They work even if no LinkedIn accounts are connected.

# Check subscription status
linkedin admin subscription status

# View current seats
linkedin admin subscription seats

# View available pricing
linkedin admin subscription pricing

# Set seats (updates existing or returns checkout link)
linkedin admin subscription set-seats --quantity 5 --type plus --period year

# Get billing portal link
linkedin admin subscription billing-link

# Cancel subscription at period end
linkedin admin subscription cancel

Accounts

linkedin admin accounts list

# Connect a new LinkedIn account (opens connection link)
