Member portability APIs

Last updated: 2 months ago

LinkedIn provides an API program to enable members located in the EU/EEA and Switzerland to access their LinkedIn data programmatically. The API is available to third parties and members, such that they can build applications that integrate with LinkedIn, and upon member consent, the application can programmatically access the consenting-member’s LinkedIn data.  

At this time, only members located in the EU/EEA or Switzerland (as determined by the location provided by the member in their LinkedIn profile) can utilize this functionality. Members not located in the EU/EEA or Switzerland will receive error messages if they try to apply for access to this API or try to consent to a third party’s request for access to their LinkedIn data. 

All members (including those outside of the EU/EEA and Switzerland) are able to request access to their member data through their settings. Please refer to this article: Download your account data.
