# LinkedIn API pricing in 2026: what it costs, who gets access, and what to use for contact data

LinkedIn lists no API price and says it charges no fee today. The real cost is access. Here is what its own docs say about each program, who can apply, and where official access stops.

By Enrich.chat Editorial. Updated October 15, 2026.

**Short answer:** LinkedIn publishes no price for its API, and its [API Terms of Use](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/api-terms-of-use) say it charges no API fee today. The real cost is access: only sign-in and posting are open to every developer, the Sales Navigator API takes no new partners, and no official API takes a profile URL and returns that person's email or phone. For contact data from a LinkedIn URL, use a contact data API.

## Key takeaways

- LinkedIn lists no price for any API product. Its API Terms, last revised December 13, 2022, say it charges no fee for the APIs today but may in the future.
- Only Sign In with LinkedIn and Share on LinkedIn are open to every developer. Advertising and Community Management access need an application and start on a Development tier.
- LinkedIn's Sales Navigator API docs say it is not currently accepting new partners.
- Third-party guides quote $59 to $2,999 a month for the LinkedIn API. The two guides we read link no LinkedIn price page.
- No official LinkedIn API takes a profile URL and returns that person's work email or phone. A contact data API can, and Enrich.chat gives 10 free lookups a day.

## Plans and prices

Prices as listed by LinkedIn on October 15, 2026. [Source](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access). LinkedIn lists no price for any API product. Its API Terms say the APIs are free today and that LinkedIn may charge in the future.

| Plan | Price | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Open products | $0 self-serve | Add the product to a developer app. No review. |
| Marketing APIs | Apply | Vetted, with no price listed. You need a LinkedIn Page, a verified business email and an access form. |
| Sales Navigator API | Closed | Approved SNAP partners only. LinkedIn says it is not accepting new ones. |
| Talent and Learning | Partner | By application or license, with no price listed. |

## How much does the LinkedIn API cost?

LinkedIn publishes no price for its API, and its terms say it charges no API fee today. [LinkedIn's API Terms of Use](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/api-terms-of-use), last revised on December 13, 2022, say the APIs are currently free, but that LinkedIn may charge in the future. The same terms stop you from billing your own users extra for access to LinkedIn content or APIs.

So the cost of LinkedIn API access is not a price. It is an approval, and for some programs a paid license behind it. The cards above show the four levels of access that LinkedIn's developer docs describe. None of them lists a price.

### Why do other sites quote $59 or $699 a month?

Many pages quote a monthly price for the LinkedIn API anyway. A [Proxycurl guide from October 2024](https://dev.to/proxycurl/the-linkedin-api-pricing-guide-you-need-and-how-to-get-access-1a75) says the People Profile API costs more than $59 a month and the Company Profile API more than $699, and it calls both figures approximate. A [Data365 guide](https://data365.co/guides/linkedin-api-pricing) dated September 22, 2026 lists plans at $59, $599 and $2,999 a month. The two lists differ, and neither links a LinkedIn price page.

LinkedIn's own developer docs list no such plans. Treat those numbers as unverified, and ask any vendor which LinkedIn page they come from.

### Where the money does go

LinkedIn charges nothing for the API itself today. Five things around it can cost money:

- **A license behind the product.** [LinkedIn Learning API access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/learning/getting-started/request-access) goes to Learning Partner Program members and to organizations that bought LinkedIn Learning site licenses. [Apply Connect](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/talent/apply-connect/apply-connect-overview) needs a LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate or Professional Services license to show real-time LinkedIn data in an ATS.
- **A Sales Navigator seat for each end user.** Under the [SNAP Terms of Use](https://business.linkedin.com/sales-solutions/partners/become-a-partner/terms-and-conditions), a partner may serve only customers who hold an active license to both its app and Sales Navigator. [Core lists at $119.99 a month and Advanced at $159.99](https://business.linkedin.com/sell/sales-navigator/compare-plans). Advanced Plus has no public price.
- **Staff time on review.** You need a LinkedIn Page, a verified business email and, for the Standard tier, a video or screen recording of your app.
- **Short data retention.** LinkedIn's [Marketing API rules](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/restricted-use-cases) let you store most member profile data for only 24 hours, so you cannot keep a copy for long.
- **Terms that can change under you.** The [API Terms](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/api-terms-of-use) let LinkedIn release new API versions and require you to use them, and let it suspend access at any time for any reason. LinkedIn's Marketing API docs warn that version 202511 will be [sunset on November 16, 2026](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/increasing-access).

One more rule limits how a partner can charge. The SNAP terms say a partner may not charge its customers, directly or indirectly, for access to data from the SNAP APIs. It can still price its own product separately.

## Which LinkedIn APIs exist, and who can use each?

LinkedIn splits its APIs into six business lines: Consumer, Marketing, Sales, Talent, Learning and Compliance. Per the [Getting Access page on Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access), most permissions need LinkedIn's approval, and only the open permissions are available to every developer without special approval.

| Program | What an app gets | Who can use it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Sign In with LinkedIn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/sign-in-with-linkedin-v2) | The signed-in member's name, photo, locale and, if present, primary email | Any developer, self-serve |
| [Share on LinkedIn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin) | Posts, comments and likes as the signed-in member | Any developer, self-serve |
| [Advertising API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/increasing-access) | Ad accounts, campaigns and reporting | Approved developers, Development tier then Standard |
| [Community Management API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/community-management-app-review) | Company Pages, posts, comments and analytics | Registered legal organizations, two tiers |
| Lead Sync, Conversions, Events, Matched Audiences | Your own form leads, conversion uploads, events and ad audiences | Apply per product; Matched Audiences needs the Advertising API first |
| [Sales Navigator Application Platform](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/sales/) | Display, analytics and CRM sync services inside a partner app | Approved partners; not accepting new ones |
| [Talent](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/talent/) | Apply Connect, Job Posting, Recruiter System Connect and CRM Connect for ATS and recruiting tools | Partner application |
| [Learning](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/learning/getting-started/request-access) | Learning content and activity reports | Learning Partner Program or a LinkedIn Learning license |
| Compliance | Activity archiving and monitoring | Closed; access may not be requested |

LinkedIn lists no price for any of these programs. The table follows the [Getting Access page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access) and the [Marketing access page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/increasing-access), checked October 15, 2026. Figure 1 groups the same programs by how hard they are to reach.

**Figure 1: LinkedIn API access in four tiers.** LinkedIn API access has four tiers. Open products, Sign In with LinkedIn and Share on LinkedIn, are self-serve. Advertising, Community Management, Lead Sync and Events need an application. The Sales Navigator API, Talent and Learning need partner approval or a license, and LinkedIn says it is not taking new Sales Navigator partners. Compliance and Company Intelligence are closed. LinkedIn's docs describe no tier that lets a developer look up another member's email or phone from a profile URL.

*LinkedIn API programs by how hard they are to reach, checked October 15, 2026. Sources: [Getting Access to LinkedIn APIs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access), [Marketing API access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/increasing-access) and [Sales Navigator Application Platform](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/sales/), Microsoft Learn.*

Two details trip people up. The Getting Access page still links an application form for Sales Navigator partners. But LinkedIn's [Sales Navigator Application Platform overview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/sales/) says it is not currently accepting new partners for the Sales Navigator API, and that it will update the page if that changes. And the open products only act for the member who signs in. They cannot reach anyone else.

## How do you get LinkedIn API access?

Create an app in the LinkedIn Developer Portal, then add products on its Products tab. The open products take one step. Everything else needs an application, and LinkedIn publishes no review time for most programs.

### Open products: Sign In and Share on LinkedIn

The [Getting Access page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access) says you add these on the Products tab once your app exists, with no special approval. [Share on LinkedIn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin) lists daily limits of 150 requests per member and 100,000 per application, counted in UTC. LinkedIn does not publish standard limits for its other endpoints. Its [rate limit guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/api-guide/concepts/rate-limits) says to make one test call, then read the limit on your app's Analytics tab.

### Advertising and Community Management APIs

LinkedIn's [quick start](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/quick-start) gives five steps:

1. Create a LinkedIn Page.
2. Create a developer app in the Developer Portal.
3. Read the restricted uses list to check that your use case is allowed.
4. Apply to the API under the Products tab of your app.
5. Complete the access form.

For Community Management, LinkedIn's [app review page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/community-management-app-review) says the API is for registered legal organizations with commercial use cases. Have your legal name, address, website and privacy policy ready. Your business email must be verified, and a personal address will not pass. A super admin of your LinkedIn Page must verify the app too.

Every program starts on a Development tier, per LinkedIn's [access page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/increasing-access):

- **Advertising API.** The Development tier can edit up to five ad accounts. Standard needs a support ticket with a video of how your platform creates, edits or optimizes campaigns.
- **Community Management API.** The Development tier allows 500 calls per app and 100 per member in 24 hours, and you must finish testing within twelve months. Standard needs a screen recording and test logins.
- **Restricted APIs.** Audience Insights and Media Planning are reviewed case by case with no fixed timeline. The Company Intelligence API takes no new applications.

LinkedIn also says it may decline an upgrade even when you meet the minimums.

### Sales, Talent and Learning

- **Sales Navigator API.** You need SNAP partner approval, and LinkedIn says it is not accepting new partners. The [SNAP terms](https://business.linkedin.com/sales-solutions/partners/become-a-partner/terms-and-conditions) limit use to customers who hold both your app and a Sales Navigator license.
- **Talent.** ATS partners fill in an online form about their customers and active jobs. LinkedIn's [application page](https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/ats-partners/partner-application) says it gets a high volume of inquiries, answers slowly and cannot promise an agreement to every applicant.
- **Learning.** Access goes to [Partner Program members and organizations with a Learning site license](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/learning/getting-started/request-access).

## Does the LinkedIn API have a profile, people search or email lookup?

Not for a general developer. No LinkedIn API lets you enter a profile URL and get back that person's work email, phone number or full profile. The LinkedIn profile API reads the member who signs in to your app. A few vetted products show limited member details inside their own scope, such as who commented on your Page's posts.

- **Sign In with LinkedIn** returns the member's own name, photo and locale. The email field is [marked optional](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/sign-in-with-linkedin-v2), so it can be missing.
- **The Profile API** reads the signed-in member through `/v2/me`. Its [docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/integrations/people/profile-api) say use is restricted to developers approved by LinkedIn. To read another member you need that person's ID, which comes only from limited-access APIs, and IDs work in one app only. You may never store profile data about members other than the signed-in one.
- **Lead Sync** returns leads from your own lead generation forms, once approved. That is data people sent to you, not a lookup.
- **Sales Navigator's Profile Associations API** returns public profile photos and Sales Navigator links for people already matched by a customer's [CRM Sync](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/sales/sync-services/). It is partner-only, and the docs describe photos and links, not contact details.
- **Member Data Portability** lets a member in the European Economic Area or Switzerland [fetch their own LinkedIn data](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/dma/member-data-portability/member-data-portability-member/).

Even on the LinkedIn website, contact details are limited. LinkedIn [says](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a545600/what-people-can-see-on-your-profile) the contact info you add to your profile shows to your 1st-degree connections only. Figure 2 sorts common jobs into the route that fits.

**Figure 2: Which LinkedIn route fits the job.** Five jobs and the route for each. Signing users in uses Sign In with LinkedIn, which is self-serve. Posting for a user uses Share on LinkedIn, which is self-serve. Running ads or managing Pages needs an application. Building on Sales Navigator needs the Sales Navigator API, which is not taking new partners. Finding a prospect's email needs a contact data API that takes the LinkedIn URL as a lookup key.

*The route for five common jobs, from LinkedIn's developer docs on October 15, 2026. Sources: [Getting Access to LinkedIn APIs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/getting-access), [Profile API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/integrations/people/profile-api), [Share on LinkedIn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin) and [Sales Navigator Application Platform](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/sales/).*

## What do LinkedIn's API rules forbid?

Approval does not make every use allowed. The rules for Marketing API data are strict, and the general API terms add more. Three limits matter most for anyone who wants prospect data:

- **No sales or recruiting use of member data.** LinkedIn's [restricted uses page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/restricted-use-cases) says member data from the Marketing APIs should not be used for advertising, sales or recruiting. That covers finding prospects, creating leads, enhancing a CRM, building audience lists and ad targeting. The [Marketing API Terms](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/marketing-api-terms) say the same.
- **No exporting or combining.** Member data can be shown only inside your application. You cannot combine it with other data to create, add to, verify or append profiles or leads. Member activity can be stored for 48 hours and most profile data for 24.
- **No scraped content, and no resale.** The [API Terms](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/api-terms-of-use) bar developers from using LinkedIn content obtained by scraping or crawling, even through a third party. They also give selling access to an aggregated collection of member profiles as an example of what you cannot do.

In short, the official API is built for apps that act for a member who signed in. It is not built to fill a contact database.

## What do unofficial LinkedIn APIs cost, and what is the risk?

Unofficial LinkedIn APIs fill the gap, and they bring a risk the official ones do not: the provider can disappear. They charge by record, by credit or by seat, and prices vary. Our guides to [Proxycurl alternatives](https://enrich.chat/blog/proxycurl-alternative/) and [LinkedIn MCP servers](https://enrich.chat/blog/linkedin-mcp/) list prices checked on October 15, 2026.

LinkedIn's [User Agreement](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement) bans software that scrapes or copies profiles. Its [help center](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1341387) says members who use such tools risk having their accounts restricted or shut down. Two cases show what that can mean for a vendor:

- **Proxycurl.** LinkedIn filed a lawsuit in January 2025. Proxycurl shut down on [July 4, 2025](https://nubela.co/blog/goodbye-proxycurl/), and its post says it closed to comply with a legal settlement with LinkedIn.
- **ProAPIs.** A federal court entered a [final judgment on consent](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.457309/gov.uscourts.cand.457309.36.0.pdf) on September 16, 2026. ProAPIs denied liability. The order bars it from scraping LinkedIn and from offering software that supplies LinkedIn data.

When a vendor closes, its customers must find a new source. This is not legal advice. Talk to a lawyer before you build a product on any LinkedIn data source, and see our guide on [whether LinkedIn scraping is legal](https://enrich.chat/blog/is-linkedin-scraping-legal/).

## How do you get contact data from a LinkedIn URL without the LinkedIn API?

Send the LinkedIn profile URL to a contact data API as a lookup key. Enrich.chat's `GET /v1/person` takes the URL and returns the person's name, title and company, a work email marked verified, catch_all or unknown, and a mobile with a line type. Enrich.chat never logs in to LinkedIn or uses anyone's LinkedIn account. The URL is only a key.

```
# One request, no key needed on the free tier
curl -G https://enrich.chat/v1/person \
  --data-urlencode "linkedin_url=linkedin.com/in/jane-doe-ops" \
  -d fields=email,mobile

# Response, shortened from agents.md
{"found": true, "name": "Jane Doe", "title": "VP Operations",
 "work_email": {"value": "jane.doe@acmelogistics.com", "status": "verified"},
 "mobile": {"value": "+1 415 555 0142", "line": "mobile"},
 "credits_used": 260, "free_lookups_remaining": 9}
```

Each work email carries a status. A `catch_all` domain accepts every address, so treat it as risky. The mobile's `line` is the number's type, not proof that it works or belongs to that person. If nothing matches you get `{"found": false}` and 0 credits. An API key is optional: you get 10 free lookups a day per IP address with no signup. The [agents.md](https://enrich.chat/agents.md) file lists every endpoint, and the [LinkedIn URL to contact API](https://enrich.chat/api/linkedin-to-contact/) page shows the full response.

```text
Use www.enrich.chat to find the work email and mobile for linkedin.com/in/jane-doe-ops. Show the status of each field, mark a miss as not found, and tell me the credits_used.
```

### What does a lookup cost?

A work email uses 10 Enrich.chat credits, a mobile 250 and a profile-only lookup 5. A lookup that finds nothing uses 0. Plans are monthly, with unlimited seats and no annual contract: Growth $29 for 100,000 credits, Scale $90 for 500,000 credits, Pro $299 for 2,500,000 credits. See the [pricing page](https://enrich.chat/pricing/) for details.

Here is the math for two jobs:

- 1,000 work emails need 10,000 credits. That fits the Growth plan at $29 a month. Pro-rated at that plan's credit rate the emails come to $2.90, but the plan itself is billed monthly, and 1,000 emails use only part of it.
- 100 LinkedIn URLs, each with a work email and a mobile, need 26,000 credits. That fits the Growth plan at $29 a month.

For comparison, a Sales Navigator Core seat costs $89.99 a month on annual billing, per [LinkedIn's plans page](https://business.linkedin.com/sell/sales-navigator/compare-plans), and it exports no emails or phones. A seller who keeps that seat and looks up 1,000 work emails a month pays the seat price plus the Growth plan at $29. [People Data Labs lists a Pro plan](https://www.peopledatalabs.com/pricing/person) from $98 a month with as few as 350 credits and contact data included. Its [docs](https://docs.peopledatalabs.com/docs/reference-person-enrichment-api) say it charges per match and accepts a LinkedIn URL in the profile field. Our [People Data Labs pricing guide](https://enrich.chat/blog/people-data-labs-pricing/) covers it in detail.

**Figure 3: Entry price per month of each route to LinkedIn-based contact data.** Bar chart of monthly entry prices on October 15, 2026. LinkedIn lists no API price and offers no lookup of other people. Enrich.chat Growth is $29 a month for 100,000 credits. Sales Navigator Core is $89.99 a month on annual billing and exports no emails or phones. People Data Labs Pro starts at $98 a month for 350 credits. The routes are not like for like.

*Entry monthly price of each route, checked October 15, 2026. The bars are not like for like: Sales Navigator is a seat for searching, not a data feed, and credits mean different things at each vendor. Sales Navigator Core is $119.99 on monthly billing. Sources: [LinkedIn plans page](https://business.linkedin.com/sell/sales-navigator/compare-plans), [People Data Labs pricing](https://www.peopledatalabs.com/pricing/person) and [Enrich.chat pricing](https://enrich.chat/pricing/).*

Enrich.chat has honest limits next to LinkedIn's own products:

- **It is data, not a LinkedIn client.** It does not post, message or connect on LinkedIn, and it has no Chrome extension. It returns the current role and company, not job history or posts.
- **You bring the URLs.** Copy them from LinkedIn, or find people with `/v1/search`, which returns each person's LinkedIn URL. For a single profile, try the free [LinkedIn email and phone finder](https://enrich.chat/tools/linkedin-email-finder/).

Whatever you use, you are responsible for CAN-SPAM, GDPR and the TCPA in your outreach. People can ask to be removed at [enrich.chat/opt-out](https://enrich.chat/opt-out/). For other ways to find emails, read our guides to [finding an email on LinkedIn](https://enrich.chat/blog/find-email-on-linkedin/) and the [best LinkedIn email finders](https://enrich.chat/blog/best-linkedin-email-finder/).

## When is the official LinkedIn API the better choice?

The official LinkedIn API is the better choice when the job is to act for a member or manage your own LinkedIn assets. Enrich.chat does none of these:

- **Sign-in.** Sign In with LinkedIn gives your app a member's name, photo and, when present, email, with their consent.
- **Posting.** Share on LinkedIn is the official way to publish as a member.
- **Ads and Pages.** The Advertising and Community Management APIs manage campaigns, Pages, posts and analytics.
- **Hiring tools.** Apply Connect and Job Posting connect an ATS to LinkedIn.
- **Your own lead forms.** Lead Sync pulls in the leads people submit through your LinkedIn forms.
- **Your own data.** Member Data Portability returns a member's own LinkedIn data in the EEA and Switzerland.

If your job is to find a prospect's email or phone, there is no official route. Our guide to [Sales Navigator pricing](https://enrich.chat/blog/linkedin-sales-navigator-pricing/) shows what that seat does and does not include, and the [Sales Navigator alternatives](https://enrich.chat/alternatives/linkedin-sales-navigator/) page compares other tools. To run a whole list through the lookup, paste this into your agent:

```text
Use www.enrich.chat to enrich this list of LinkedIn URLs with work emails and mobiles. Flag catch_all emails as risky, mark rows with no match as not found, and give me the total credits_used.
```

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the LinkedIn API free?

Partly. Sign In with LinkedIn and Share on LinkedIn are free to add and need no review. LinkedIn's [API Terms](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/api-terms-of-use) say it currently charges no fee for the APIs but may charge later. The catch is access: Advertising and Community Management APIs need approval, the Sales Navigator API is closed to new partners, and some products need a paid license, such as LinkedIn Learning.

### How do I get LinkedIn API access?

Create an app in the LinkedIn Developer Portal, then add a product on its Products tab. Sign In with LinkedIn and Share on LinkedIn are self-serve. The [Advertising and Community Management APIs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/quick-start) need a LinkedIn Page, a verified business email and an access form, and they start on a Development tier. The Sales Navigator API needs SNAP partner approval, which LinkedIn is not offering to new partners.

### Does the LinkedIn API return a person's email or phone number?

Only for the member who signs in to your app. The email scope returns that member's primary email, and [LinkedIn marks the field optional](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/sign-in-with-linkedin-v2). The [Profile API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/integrations/people/profile-api) reads another member only for approved developers who hold that person's ID. No LinkedIn API takes a profile URL and returns a work email or mobile. A contact data API fills that gap.

### Is there a Sales Navigator API, and what does it cost?

Yes, but only for approved partners, and the [Sales Navigator Application Platform docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/sales/) say LinkedIn is not currently accepting new ones. LinkedIn lists no price for it. Customers of a SNAP partner need Sales Navigator licenses, which [LinkedIn lists](https://business.linkedin.com/sell/sales-navigator/compare-plans) at $119.99 a month for Core and $159.99 for Advanced. Advanced Plus is quoted by LinkedIn.

### Why do some guides say the LinkedIn API costs $59 or $699 a month?

They are third-party figures with no LinkedIn source. A [Proxycurl guide](https://dev.to/proxycurl/the-linkedin-api-pricing-guide-you-need-and-how-to-get-access-1a75) from October 2024 calls them approximate, and a [Data365 guide](https://data365.co/guides/linkedin-api-pricing) lists $59, $599 and $2,999 plans. Neither links a LinkedIn price page. LinkedIn's developer docs list no API plans. Treat these numbers as unverified.

### How do I get an email from a LinkedIn URL without logging in to LinkedIn?

Send the URL to a contact data API. LinkedIn's own API will not do it for third parties. With Enrich.chat, `GET /v1/person?linkedin_url=...&fields=email,mobile` returns a work email marked verified, catch_all or unknown and a mobile with a line type. It never logs in to LinkedIn, a miss uses 0 credits, and 10 lookups a day are free. See the [LinkedIn URL to contact API](https://enrich.chat/api/linkedin-to-contact/).
