Linked API

Secure automation API for LinkedIn

Visit Linked API

Linked API is a workflow-based automation API for LinkedIn: it runs actions (messaging, connections, search, data extraction, standard and Sales Navigator) through a dedicated cloud browser per account that emulates real user behavior, and exposes that via REST API, SDK, CLI, MCP server, and no-code integrations.

  • 50+ LinkedIn actions (messaging, connection requests, search, post reactions/comments, data extraction) composed into workflows
  • Dedicated cloud browser per connected account, simulating natural human behavior (custom mouse/typing algorithms)
  • Support for both standard LinkedIn and Sales Navigator interfaces
  • Access via REST API, Node.js SDK, CLI, MCP server, and no-code platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier)
  • Webhook events for workflow, account, inbox, and network changes (no polling required)
  • Configurable per-account action limits to stay within LinkedIn usage limits
  • CRM integrations (Pipedrive, HubSpot, Zoho CRM) and other business tool integrations (Greenhouse, Workday, Marketo, Slack)

What is Linked API

Vendor's own claim

Linked API automates LinkedIn actions (connections, messaging, searching, data extraction, post engagement) by executing them through a dedicated cloud browser instance per connected account rather than headless scraping (the vendor explicitly says "No Puppeteer, no Selenium, no shared infra"). Automation is modeled as workflows composed of actions, executed sequentially per account (not in parallel), with responses normalized to structured JSON.

Ideal customer profile

Our read

Developers and GTM/recruiting teams building LinkedIn-based lead generation, outreach, or research automation (directly, via AI agents, or via no-code tools) who want a managed, per-account browser layer instead of building and maintaining their own scraping/automation infrastructure.

Who should look elsewhere

Our read

Each seat is tied to one LinkedIn account and workflows execute sequentially per account, not in parallel - the docs state that a second workflow on the same account only begins once the first has completed, so teams wanting high-throughput, parallel automation on a single LinkedIn account will hit a structural bottleneck, not just a pricing one. Sales Navigator actions are also gated behind the higher Plus tier ($74/seat/mo vs. $49/seat/mo for Core), so teams that need Sales Navigator-specific actions pay the premium tier per seat regardless of volume.

Linked API FAQ

Does Linked API have a machine-readable OpenAPI spec?

That is an absence in what we retrieved, not confirmation none exists.

Our read
How is Linked API priced?

Per-seat, where one seat equals one connected LinkedIn account: Core is $49/seat/mo, Plus (adds Sales Navigator actions) is $74/seat/mo, both with unlimited workflow execution and no usage caps; Enterprise is custom-priced for volume. A 7-day free trial is offered with no credit card required.

From official docs
Does Linked API support Sales Navigator, not just standard LinkedIn?

Yes, but Sales Navigator actions are gated to the Plus tier ($74/seat/mo) and above; the Core tier ($49/seat/mo) covers standard LinkedIn actions only.

From official docs
Can workflows run in parallel on the same account?

No. The docs state Linked API executes workflows sequentially per account - a second workflow request is accepted immediately but does not start executing until the prior one on that account completes.

From official docs
Does Linked API have an MCP server for AI agents?

Yes, with source code available on GitHub per the docs; it connects a user's LinkedIn account to AI assistants (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) so they can call LinkedIn actions as tools, e.g. search_people and fetch_person.

From official docs
How does Linked API avoid LinkedIn detecting automation?

The vendor states every action runs on a dedicated cloud browser instance per account that "simulates natural user behavior" with a custom mouse algorithm and human-like typing/timing, rather than shared infrastructure or headless tools like Puppeteer/Selenium.

Vendor's own claim
What no-code and CRM integrations does Linked API support?

The integrations page lists automation platforms n8n, Make, and Zapier; CRM integrations Pipedrive, HubSpot, and Zoho CRM; and other integrations including Greenhouse, Workday, Marketo, and Slack.

From official docs
Who is responsible for staying within LinkedIn's usage limits?

The docs state it is the customer's responsibility to understand and follow the limits appropriate to their account (which vary by account age, Social Selling Index, and subscription type), though Linked API lets customers configure per-account action limits from the dashboard to help stay within safe boundaries.
