Job board & aggregator backends

LinkedIn Search API — frequently asked questions
- Can I search LinkedIn people by keyword and filters via API?
- Yes. The Search API supports keyword search combined with structured filters — job title, company, seniority, industry, location, company size and boolean operators. Results return as paginated JSON with profile metadata and LinkedIn URNs.
- How does the LinkedIn Search API compare to Sales Navigator search?
- The Search API exposes the same underlying LinkedIn search index that Sales Navigator uses. You get equivalent filters — title, seniority, company size, geography — but as a programmatic REST endpoint with JSON output instead of a browser UI.
- What entity types can I search?
- The API covers six entity types: people, companies, posts, jobs, groups and geo locations. Each has its own endpoint with entity-specific filters. You can combine geo URN resolution with people or company searches for precise location targeting.
