## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve LinkedIn person profile data by URL or handle — ideal for lead enrichment, sales intelligence, recruiting workflows, or contact research where you have one or more known LinkedIn URLs or handles (up to 50 at a time). Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you specifically need structured LinkedIn profile output.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent LinkedIn URL/handle returns an error or empty result
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Profile may be private or restricted, returning partial data
- Malformed URL or handle format causes a validation error
- LinkedIn anti-scraping measures may occasionally block requests, returning a service error
- Batch exceeding 50 URLs returns a schema validation error
