# api.linkedpanda.com

LinkedPanda is a data enrichment service focused on LinkedIn profile lookups. It serves agents and applications that already possess a LinkedIn profile ID and need structured data about that individual, including current positions, experience, education, skills, and follower counts. It is a narrow, single-purpose host with no search, bulk, or analytics capabilities.

## When to use this host

Use this host when an agent already has a LinkedIn profile ID and needs structured profile data such as name, headline, current employer, experience history, education, skills, or follower and connection counts. Do not use it for discovering or searching profiles by name, company, keyword, or any other attribute — a known profile ID is required. Not suitable for bulk enrichment workflows without issuing one call per profile. For profile discovery or search, consider LinkedIn's own search APIs or third-party people-search services. For broader professional data enrichment beyond LinkedIn, consider alternative enrichment providers that support multi-source lookups.
