Connections

Withdraw a connection request

The LinkedIn API allows you to withdraw a connection request that you previously sent. Below is an example of how to withdraw a connection request using the DELETE method with a cURL command.

Endpoint

DELETE /v1/connections/requests

Body Parameters

  • url: The full LinkedIn profile URL of the person whose connection request you want to withdraw.

Example

curl -X DELETE https://api.linkedapi.io/v1/connections/requests \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-token: your-api-token-here" \
-H "account-token: your-account-token-here" \
-d '{
  "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/"
}'

Response

A successful request will return a 200 OK status and a confirmation that the connection request has been withdrawn. If the request cannot be withdrawn (e.g., it was already accepted or does not exist), the response will include the relevant error message.
