## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a LinkedIn profile URL and need comprehensive professional profile data including skills, education, and work history. It is ideal for CRM enrichment, recruiting workflows, and sales intelligence where structured LinkedIn data is needed programmatically. Prefer this over scraping endpoints when you want clean, parsed profile fields rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Private LinkedIn profiles may return limited or no data
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns an error response
- Sales Navigator URLs may occasionally not resolve if format is unsupported
