LinkedIn Data API: Profiles, Jobs, Inbox and Profile Viewers
============================
One documented open data API for the app where careers and professional networks live.
--------------------
INTRODUCTION
--------------------
Jobs and careers apps hold some of the most useful business data on a phone: who people are, who is hiring, and who is talking to whom. Teams in the US, India and Brazil use these platforms for sourcing, sales and market research. They often struggle to get that data into their own systems in a clean, repeatable way. openData Studio turns the data inside popular mobile apps into documented open data APIs, so you work with a stable interface instead of screens.
--------------------
FEATURED APP: LINKEDIN
--------------------
LinkedIn: Community & Network (package com.linkedin.android, version 6.1.1) is the Android client for member profiles, the home feed, jobs, messaging and who-viewed-my-profile. It sits in the Jobs & Careers category.
The data API page documents 6 endpoints, all organized around the signed-in member:
GET /v1/account/me
GET /v1/profiles/{profileId}
GET /v1/profiles/{profileId}/contact
GET /v1/jobs/postings/{jobId}
GET /v1/messages/threads
GET /v1/analytics/profile-views
Each call uses a signed-in session cookie and a CSRF token header mirrored from it. The page notes that endpoint details are illustrative reconstructions from the app's interface, not live captures.
--------------------
WHAT CAN BE INTEGRATED
--------------------
Member record: plainId, premiumSubscriber and a MiniProfile (firstName, lastName, occupation, publicIdentifier).
Full profiles: headline, summary, industryName, locationName, geoCountryName and versionTag.
Contact card: emailAddress, phoneNumbers, websites, twitterHandles and WeChat contact info. The payload depends on the viewer's relationship to the profile.
Job postings: title, formattedLocation, listedAt, closedAt, jobState, workRemoteAllowed and companyDetails.
Inbox threads: offset-paged conversations with participants, unreadCount, notificationStatus and mute/archive/block flags.
Profile-view cards: viewedAt, referrer, InMail CTA and insights. Viewer identity is full or obfuscated depending on subscription tier.

CONCLUSION
--------------------
