LinkedIn pages are read with a purpose-built **site rule** instead of a browser. You don't turn anything on: send a LinkedIn URL as usual and the rule is used automatically. A page costs 1 credit, and pages that can't be delivered are free. Spidra reads LinkedIn the way a visitor who isn't signed in sees it. It never signs in, and it doesn't use cookies you pass for LinkedIn pages. The rule steps aside when a request needs something only a browser can do: a screenshot, browser `actions`, `forEach` or an AI `instruction`. Those URLs use the normal browser flow. ## Page types | Page type | Example | What you get | | - | - | - | | Job search | `linkedin.com/jobs/search/?keywords=data%20engineer&location=United%20States` | Every job on the page: 60 on the first page, 10 per page after that | | Job posting | `linkedin.com/jobs/view/4454862094/` | The full posting, including the description | | Company | `linkedin.com/company/stripe/` | The company profile and its recent posts | | School | `linkedin.com/school/stanford-university/` | The school profile, in the same shape as a company | | Public profile | `linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/` | What LinkedIn shows a visitor who isn't signed in | | Post | `linkedin.com/posts/...` or `linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:...` | The post, its author, reactions and comments | | Article | `linkedin.com/pulse/...` | The article with its full text | | Any other public LinkedIn page | A company's jobs tab, topic pages | The full page as markdown | Links work as you copy them. Tracking parameters are removed, country subdomains such as `uk.linkedin.com` work, a search link with a job selected (`currentJobId=`) opens that job, and a company's `/about/` link reads the company page, which shows the same details. ## Job searches Put your search in the URL the same way LinkedIn does: `keywords`, `location`, and filters such as `f_TPR=r86400` (posted in the past 24 hours). The first page returns up to 60 jobs. For more, add `start`: `start=60`, then `start=70`, and so on in steps of 10. Each response includes `nextStart`, the value to use for the next page. LinkedIn shows at most 1,000 results per search to visitors who aren't signed in. A request with `start` above 990 fails straight away with a message and costs nothing. To cover more jobs, split the search by location, keyword or date. ## Fields you get Every field is optional on LinkedIn's side, so a missing value comes back as `null` or an empty list, never a guess. | Page | Fields | | - | - | | Job search (each job) | `position`, `jobId`, `title`, `company`, `companyUrl`, `location`, `postedAt`, `postedText`, `salary`, `benefits`, `url` | | Job posting | `jobId`, `title`, `company`, `companyUrl`, `location`, `postedText`, `applicants`, `salary`, `seniorityLevel`, `employmentType`, `jobFunction`, `industries`, `descriptionText`, `descriptionMarkdown`, `url` | | Company or school | `name`, `tagline`, `description`, `website`, `industry`, `companySize`, `headquarters`, `organizationType`, `founded`, `specialties`, `followers`, `employeesOnLinkedIn`, `address`, `logo`, `recentPosts` | | Public profile | `name`, `headline`, `location`, `country`, `about`, `followers`, `connections`, `photo`, `currentRoles`, `experience`, `education`, `languages`, `websites`, `activity` | | Post | `author`, `authorUrl`, `authorType`, `publishedAt`, `text`, `likes`, `commentCount`, `images`, `video`, `comments` | | Article | `title`, `author`, `authorUrl`, `publishedAt`, `modifiedAt`, `likes`, `commentCount`, `image`, `bodyText`, `bodyMarkdown` | A few notes on coverage: * `salary` appears only when the employer shows pay. In testing, about 1 in 5 job postings did. * Public profiles show current roles, education and a limited part of the experience history. Since November 2025, LinkedIn shows a profile's full history only to signed-in members. Some entries are masked with asterisks by LinkedIn itself; those come back with `"masked": true`. * `employeesOnLinkedIn` is the number of members who list the company, not the company's own headcount. ## What comes back * **`output: "json"` with no `prompt` or `schema`:** the structured data as is. No AI is used, so the cost is the base credit only. * **`output: "markdown"`:** the whole page as markdown, followed by the structured data. * **With a `prompt` or `schema`:** the AI reads a compact copy of the structured data instead of the whole page. A company page with a five-field schema cost 2 credits in testing. ## Limits you should know about * **Signed-in pages are refused.** People search, a company's People tab, a profile's full details, the feed, messaging and Sales Navigator need a signed-in member. Those requests fail straight away with a message and are not charged. * **School pages are often refused.** LinkedIn turns away most visitors who aren't signed in from school pages. When it does, the request fails with a message and is not charged. * **A profile LinkedIn won't show** fails with a message and is not charged. LinkedIn answers a missing profile and a refused request the same way, so the message can't say which it was. * **1,000 results per job search**, as above. * **A page that doesn't exist**, such as a mistyped company slug, fails with a message and is not charged.
