Getting Started

Creating credential

Setting up Linked API in n8n requires two steps: getting your API tokens and creating credential. This guide walks you through both steps.

Getting your tokens

  1. Sign up at Linked API Platform.
  2. Choose your plan and start a free trial.
  3. Connect your LinkedIn account (it takes about 2 minutes).
  4. Copy your tokens from the dashboard (as shown below):
    • Linked API Token – your main token that enables Linked API access.
    • Identification Token – unique token for your LinkedIn account.

Creating n8n credential

  1. In your n8n workflow, add any Linked API action.
  2. Click the "Create new credential" in the action settings.
  1. Paste your tokens into the displayed fields.
  1. Click "Save". Your credential is now ready to use.

Multiple LinkedIn accounts

If you manage multiple LinkedIn accounts, create a separate credential for each one. Every account has its own Identification Token, while the Linked API Token remains the same. You can then switch between accounts by selecting different credentials.
