LinkedIn Research

LinkedIn professional intelligence through SandBase. Research companies, analyze professional profiles, track industry content, and monitor job markets. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

• Use LinkedIn data for professional research and B2B intelligence only.
• Respect professional privacy — report on public information only.
• Preserve context: include company names, titles, dates, and engagement.
• Never attempt to connect, message, or apply on behalf of the user.

Workflow

1. Company research

Use linkedin_web_v2_company_profile for company details (size, industry, description, specialties). Use linkedin_web_v2_company_posts for company content strategy and engagement.

2. Professional research

Use linkedin_web_v2_user_profile for professional background and current role. Use linkedin_web_v2_user_posts for thought leadership and content activity.

3. Job market research

Use linkedin_web_v2_search_jobs to find open positions by keyword, location, or company. Use linkedin_web_v2_job_detail for detailed job requirements and qualifications.

4. Content analysis

Use linkedin_web_v2_post_detail for specific post metrics. Use linkedin_web_v2_post_comments for professional discourse and reactions.

Output
