## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability linkedin-profile-scraper-e570635e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the structured LinkedIn profile data for https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/ — I need their full name, headline, and about section.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable LinkedIn profile data from known profile URLs without manual browsing. It handles batch lookups across multiple profiles in a single call and only charges for successful, non-empty results, making it suitable for lead enrichment, recruiting pipelines, or journalist/contact research workflows. Prefer this over general web scrapers when the input is specifically LinkedIn /in/ profile URLs and you need normalized fields like headline, about, and photo.

## Known failure modes

- Profile is private or restricted — fields return null
- Invalid or malformed LinkedIn URL — empty or error response
- Profile does not exist or has been removed — empty items array
- Rate limiting or access restrictions from LinkedIn — failed run (not charged)
- Network timeout or scraping block — failed run (not charged)

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of matched profiles and an array of profile records, each containing: fullName, firstName, lastName, headline, about, photo URL, linkedinUrl, and publicIdentifier. Fields may be null if not publicly visible.
