# LinkedIn Skill

You have access to `linkedin` – a CLI tool for LinkedIn automation. Use it to fetch profiles, search people and companies, send messages, manage connections, create posts, react, comment, and more.

Each command sends a request to Linked API, which runs a real cloud browser to perform the action on LinkedIn. Operations are **not instant** – expect 30 seconds to several minutes depending on complexity.

If `linkedin` is not available, install it:

```bash
npm install -g @linkedapi/linkedin-cli
```

## Authentication

If a command fails with exit code 2 (authentication error), ask the user to set up their account:

1. Go to [app.linkedapi.io](https://app.linkedapi.io) and sign up or log in
2. Connect their LinkedIn account
3. Copy the **Linked API Token** and **Identification Token** from the dashboard

Once the user provides the tokens, run:

```bash
linkedin setup --linked-api-token=TOKEN --identification-token=TOKEN
```

## Global Flags

Always use `--json` and `-q` for machine-readable output:

```bash
LINKEDAPI_CLIENT=skill:linkedin linkedin <command> --json -q
```

When using this skill, run every `linkedin ...` example below with the
`LINKEDAPI_CLIENT=skill:linkedin` prefix so Linked API can attribute usage to the skill.

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--json` | Structured JSON output |
| `--quiet` / `-q` | Suppress stderr progress messages |
| `--fields name,url,...` | Select specific fields in output |
| `--no-color` | Disable colors |
| `--account "Name"` | Use a specific account for this command |

## Output Format

Success:
```json
{"success": true, "data": {"name": "John Doe", "headline": "Engineer"}}
```

Error:
```json
{"success": false, "error": {"type": "personNotFound", "message": "Person not found"}}
```

Exit code 0 means the API call succeeded – always check the `success` field for the action outcome. Non-zero exit codes indicate infrastructure errors:

| Exit Code | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| 0 | Success (check `success` field – action may have returned an error like "person not found") |
| 1 | General/unexpected error |
| 2 | Missing or invalid tokens |
| 3 | Subscription/plan required |
| 4 | LinkedIn account issue |
| 5 | Invalid arguments |
| 6 | Rate limited |
| 7 | Network error |
| 8 | Workflow timeout (workflowId returned for recovery) |

## Commands

### Fetch a Person Profile

```bash
linkedin person fetch <url> [flags] --json -q
```

Optional flags to include additional data:
- `--experience` – work history
- `--education` – education history
- `--skills` – skills list
- `--languages` – languages
- `--posts` – recent posts (with `--posts-limit N`, `--posts-since TIMESTAMP`)
- `--comments` – recent comments (with `--comments-limit N`, `--comments-since TIMESTAMP`)
- `--reactions` – recent reactions (with `--reactions-limit N`, `--reactions-since TIMESTAMP`)

Only request additional data when needed – each flag increases execution time.

```bash
# Basic profile
linkedin person fetch https://www.linkedin.com/in/username --json -q

# With experience and education
linkedin person fetch https://www.linkedin.com/in/username --experience --education --json -q
