Notes

  • The API supports two modes of operation:
    • Total results mode: Specify total_results to get a specific number of recommendations
    • Pagination mode: Use start_page and end_page to retrieve results page by page (25 results per page)
  • The insight field indicates either mutual connections or the recommendation reason
  • The entity_urn is a unique identifier used by LinkedIn for the recommendation
  • Results are sorted by relevance to your profile
  • When using pagination mode, the response includes pagination information
  • The number of returned recommendations may be less than requested if fewer recommendations are available
