Question 1

Is Linked API an official LinkedIn API?

Accepted Answer

No. LinkedIn doesn't provide an official API for user account control and data retrieval. Linked API is an independent product designed to solve this problem. It is not affiliated, associated, authorized, or endorsed by LinkedIn Corporation.

Question 2

What programming languages does Linked API support?

Accepted Answer

Linked API works with any programming language because it operates through regular HTTP protocol. Additionally, we provide an official Node.js SDK, CLI tool, and MCP server for AI assistants to simplify integration.

Question 3

What interface language is required for the LinkedIn account?

Accepted Answer

Your LinkedIn account interface must be set to English for proper integration with Linked API. We are actively working to expand language support.

Question 4

Is the cloud browser a real browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each account gets a dedicated browser instance – not headless emulation and not an HTTP client pretending to be a browser. It renders pages, executes JavaScript, and behaves exactly like a real desktop browser, matching the type you used during sign-in.

Question 5

What are hashed URL and public URL?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn uses two types of profile URLs. A public URL looks like linkedin.com/in/username and is visible on the profile page. A hashed URL looks like linkedin.com/in/ACwAAA... and is an internal identifier. Linked API accepts both formats in action parameters and normalizes all URLs in responses.

Question 6

What is Social Selling Index (SSI)?

Accepted Answer

Social Selling Index is LinkedIn's metric that measures how effectively you leverage LinkedIn for sales on a scale of 0 to 100. It evaluates four areas: establishing your professional brand, finding the right people, engaging with insights, and building relationships. You can retrieve your current SSI using the st.retrieveSSI action.

Question 7

What is a digital fingerprint?

Accepted Answer

A digital fingerprint is a set of browser characteristics – screen resolution, installed fonts, timezone, language, WebGL renderer, and dozens of other parameters – that together create a unique identifier. Linked API creates and maintains a consistent fingerprint for each connected account, matching the characteristics of the device you used during sign-in.

Question 8

Can LinkedIn detect that I'm using Linked API?

Accepted Answer

No. To LinkedIn, your activity looks exactly like normal browsing from your own device and location. We use a real browser with your fingerprint, not headless scripts or HTTP requests.

Question 9

Can my account get blocked for using Linked API?

Accepted Answer

You cannot be blocked for using Linked API itself. However, accounts can still be restricted for spam behavior or exceeding LinkedIn's own limits – which is why we provide configurable rate limits to keep you safe.

Question 10

Does Linked API store my LinkedIn credentials?

Accepted Answer

No. You enter your password yourself, directly in your isolated cloud browser. We never see, intercept, or store it. After sign-in, the browser stays authenticated using an encrypted session.

Question 11

Does Linked API control and monitor LinkedIn limits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can configure per-account action limits directly from the platform dashboard. When a workflow contains an action that would exceed a configured limit, the system returns a limitExceeded error instead of executing. This prevents accidental overuse and keeps your account safe.

Question 12

What happens if I exceed my action limits?

Accepted Answer

The system stops execution and returns an error message. No action is performed beyond your configured limits – this protects your account from accidental overuse.

Question 13

Can your team access my LinkedIn session?

Accepted Answer

No. Direct access to authenticated sessions is architecturally impossible. Our infrastructure is designed so that no one – including our own engineers – can interact with your LinkedIn account.

Question 14

What does "per seat" mean?

Accepted Answer

One seat equals one connected LinkedIn account. If you automate 3 LinkedIn accounts, you need 3 seats.

Question 15

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

There is no free trial. However, if you subscribe and decide it's not for you, we'll process a refund right away. You have nothing to lose.

Question 16

What's the difference between Core and Plus?

Accepted Answer

Both plans include unlimited workflow execution, all 51 standard LinkedIn actions, all integrations, and full access via API, SDK, CLI, and MCP. Plus adds Sales Navigator actions.

Question 17

Can I switch between plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade from Core to Plus or downgrade at any time. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.

Question 18

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other payment methods supported by Stripe in your region. Invoicing is available for annual plans with 5+ seats.
