Example prompt: Can you retrieve and normalize the professional profile for this person — their LinkedIn URL is https://www.linkedin.com/in/janedoe — and give me the structured details?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a clean, normalized person profile from a LinkedIn URL or other person identifiers, especially for sales intelligence, recruiting research, or CRM enrichment workflows where structured professional data is required. Prefer this over raw web scraping when you need consistently formatted output rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid LinkedIn URL returns an error — identifiers.linkedinUrl is required
- LinkedIn profile is private or inaccessible, resulting in no data returned
- Timeout exceeded if timeoutMS is set too low for the lookup to complete
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 payment is not properly handled
- Profile not found if the LinkedIn URL is outdated or the account is deleted
