Agent Skill · 研究检索

linkedin-api(linkedin API 搜索)

用于辅助 API 设计、接口文档、请求响应结构和服务集成说明。它适合让 Agent 梳理 endpoint、生成 OpenAPI 草稿、检查字段命名、整理错误码或辅助前后端联调。使用时需要确认真实业务语义、鉴权方式、分页和错误处理规则;涉及生成接口文档时,应避免凭空补字段,最好从现有代码、schema 或接口样例中提取事实。

linkedin-api 是研究检索类 Agent Skill,可用宿主为 OpenClaw,通过ClawHub获取,权限为接触敏感数据;许可证为 MIT-0,第三方扫描已通过,按安装量在研究检索类的 73,675 个 Skill 里排第 376。

这个 Skill 是做什么的

研究检索类 Skill 主要解决「找资料、核对事实、把来源整理清楚」的问题,通常会让助手先检索再总结。

集成 LinkedIn API 与 OAuth 认证。支持分享帖子和管理个人资料。可用于广告投放和功能访问。安装时按仓库提供的命令执行,建议先在测试环境验证依赖、命令权限和文件改动范围。需申请开发者权限密钥。适用宿主包括 OpenClaw,接入前应确认版本、权限和运行环境要求。

linkedin-api 属于研究检索类 Skill,可作为该场景下的辅助能力补充。

上手步骤

4 步
  1. 1

    确认自己的宿主工具

    公开资料标注支持 OpenClaw;先确认自己用的是其中之一,再按对应工具的 Skills 目录放置。

  2. 2

    拿到安装命令

    可以直接复制的命令是 openclaw skills install linkedin-api;命令里的占位符换成自己的路径或密钥再执行。

  3. 3

    安装后重启宿主

    命令执行完要完全退出宿主工具再打开,让新装的 Skill 被重新扫描到,否则列表里可能看不到。

  4. 4

    按最小权限试用

    它需要接触敏感数据,先在测试目录或测试账号里跑,确认没问题再放到正式项目。

常见问题

6 条

linkedin-api 怎么安装?

在终端执行 openclaw skills install linkedin-api。装完完全退出宿主工具再打开,让它重新扫描本地 Skill。

linkedin-api 支持哪些 AI 工具?

公开资料标注支持 OpenClaw。其他工具只要能读取本地 Skill 目录,一般也能手动放进去,但要自己确认触发方式是否一致。

linkedin-api 需要什么权限?

权限级别是接触敏感数据。该 Skill 可能接触密钥、Token、环境变量或敏感配置,应进入高风险复核队列,默认不自动发布。

linkedin-api 是免费的吗?

来源标注的许可证是 MIT-0。本站不代收任何费用,也不托管安装包;能否商用、要不要署名,以许可证原文为准。

linkedin-api 用的人多吗?

公开数据是累计安装 346,416 次,近一周安装 14,434 次,下载 115,472 次,GitHub 43 星。这些数字来自第三方目录统计,只能当作热度参考,不代表质量或安全性。

linkedin-api 安全吗?

第三方扫描结果为通过,但这只覆盖已知的静态检查项,不能替代自己读一遍源码和安装命令。

值得选的地方和要先想清楚的地方

值得选的地方

  • 专注 OpenClaw 一种宿主,触发方式和使用习惯不用来回切换。
  • 许可证明确为 MIT-0,商用和分发边界好判断。
  • 第三方扫描已通过,常见的高风险行为没有命中。

先想清楚的地方

  • 需要接触敏感数据,装到常用环境前要先评估影响面。
  • 第三方目录整理,版本更新和行为细节以来源仓库为准。

适不适合你

更适合

  • 已经在用 OpenClaw,想直接扩展它能力的人。
  • 需要处理研究检索类任务、又不想每次都手写提示词的人。
  • 需要许可证清楚、并且有第三方扫描结果的团队项目。

不太适合

  • 环境里有大量密钥、凭证,不方便给第三方 Skill 读取的人。
  • 需要厂商级技术支持和 SLA 的生产系统。

LinkedIn

Access the LinkedIn API with managed OAuth authentication. Share posts, manage advertising campaigns, retrieve profile and organization information, upload media, and access the Ad Library.

Quick Start

# Get current user profile
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/linkedin/rest/me')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('LinkedIn-Version', '202506')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://api.maton.ai/linkedin/rest/{resource}

Maton proxies requests to api.linkedin.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

  1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
  2. Go to maton.ai/settings
  3. Copy your API key

Required Headers

LinkedIn REST API requires the version header:

LinkedIn-Version: 202506

Connection Management

Manage your LinkedIn OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=linkedin&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'linkedin'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-07T08:00:24.372659Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-07T08:05:16.609085Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "linkedin",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple LinkedIn connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/linkedin/rest/me')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('LinkedIn-Version', '202506')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

  • Access is scoped to posts, profiles, organizations, images, videos, and analytics within the connected LinkedIn account.
  • All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

Media Upload (REST API)

The REST API provides modern media upload endpoints. All require version header LinkedIn-Version: 202506.

Initialize Image Upload
POST /linkedin/rest/images?action=initializeUpload
Content-Type: application/json
LinkedIn-Version: 202506

{
  "initializeUploadRequest": {
    "owner": "urn:li:person:{personId}"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "value": {
    "uploadUrlExpiresAt": 1770541529250,
    "uploadUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/dms-uploads/...",
    "image": "urn:li:image:D4D10AQH4GJAjaFCkHQ"
  }
}

Use the uploadUrl to PUT your image binary, then use the image URN in your post.

Create a Video Post

Video uploads are a 4-step process: initialize, upload binary, finalize, then create the post.

CRITICAL — URL Encoding: The upload URL returned by the initialize step contains URL-encoded characters (e.g., %253D) that get corrupted when passed through shell variables or curl. You MUST use Python urllib for the entire flow — parse the JSON response and use the URL directly in Python without passing it through the shell. This is the only reliable approach.

Complete working example:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json

GATEWAY = 'https://api.maton.ai'
HEADERS = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'LinkedIn-Version': '202506',
    'X-Restli-Protocol-Version': '2.0.0',
}

# Step 0: Get person ID
req = urllib.request.Request(f'{GATEWAY}/linkedin/rest/me')
for k, v in HEADERS.items(): req.add_header(k, v)
person_id = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))['id']
owner = f'urn:li:person:{person_id}'

# Step 1: Initialize upload (via gateway)
file_path = '/path/to/video.mp4'
file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)

init_data = json.dumps({
    'initializeUploadRequest': {
        'owner': owner,
        'fileSizeBytes': file_size,
        'uploadCaptions': False,
        'uploadThumbnail': False,
    }
}).encode()

req = urllib.request.Request(f'{GATEWAY}/linkedin/rest/videos?action=initializeUpload', data=init_data, method='POST')
for k, v in HEADERS.items(): req.add_header(k, v)
init_resp = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
upload_url = init_resp['value']['uploadInstructions'][0]['uploadUrl']
video_urn = init_resp['value']['video']

# Step 2: Upload binary DIRECTLY to LinkedIn's pre-signed URL (NOT through the gateway)
# The upload URL points to www.linkedin.com — it is pre-signed and needs NO Authorization header.
# IMPORTANT: Use the URL exactly as returned by json.load() — do NOT pass it through shell variables.
with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
    video_data = f.read()

upload_req = urllib.request.Request(upload_url, data=video_data, method='PUT')
upload_req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
upload_resp = urllib.request.urlopen(upload_req)
etag = upload_resp.headers['etag']

# Step 3: Finalize upload (via gateway)
finalize_data = json.dumps({
    'finalizeUploadRequest': {
        'video': video_urn,
        'uploadToken': '',
        'uploadedPartIds': [etag],
    }
}).encode()

req = urllib.request.Request(f'{GATEWAY}/linkedin/rest/videos?action=finalizeUpload', data=finalize_data, method='POST')
for k, v in HEADERS.items(): req.add_header(k, v)
urllib.request.urlopen(req)

# Step 4: Create post with video (via gateway)
post_data = json.dumps({
    'author': owner,
    'lifecycleState': 'PUBLISHED',
    'visibility': 'PUBLIC',
    'commentary': 'Check out this video!',
    'distribution': {'feedDistribution': 'MAIN_FEED'},
    'content': {'media': {'id': video_urn}},
}).encode()

req = urllib.request.Request(f'{GATEWAY}/linkedin/rest/posts', data=post_data, method='POST')
for k, v in HEADERS.items(): req.add_header(k, v)
resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
print(f'Video post created! {resp.headers.get("location")}')
EOF

How it works:

  • Steps 1, 3, 4 go through the gateway (api.maton.ai/linkedin/...) — Maton injects your OAuth token automatically.
  • Step 2 goes directly to LinkedIn's pre-signed upload URL (www.linkedin.com/dms-uploads/...) — no auth header needed, no gateway.
  • The etag from the upload response is required for the finalize step.
  • For large videos (>4MB), LinkedIn returns multiple uploadInstructions — upload each chunk to its respective URL and collect all etags.

Video specifications:

  • Length: 3 seconds to 30 minutes
  • File size: 75KB to 500MB
  • Format: MP4

Getting Your Person ID

To create posts, you need your LinkedIn person ID. Get it from the /rest/me endpoint:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/linkedin/rest/me')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('LinkedIn-Version', '202506')
result = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
print(f"Your person URN: urn:li:person:{result['id']}")
EOF

Code Examples

Little Text Format (Commentary Field)

The commentary field in posts uses LinkedIn's "Little Text Format". Reserved characters must be escaped with a backslash or the post content will be truncated.

Reserved Characters (Must Escape)

CharacterEscape As
\\\
`\``\\`
{\{
}\}
@\@
[\[
]\]
(\(
)\)
<\<
>\>
#\#
*\*
_\_
~\~

Example

{
  "commentary": "Hello\\! Check out these bullet points:\\
\\
\\* Point 1\\
\\* Point 2\\
\\* More info \\(details inside\\)"
}

Mentions and Hashtags

Use Little Text Format syntax for mentions and hashtags:

  • Mention a person: @[Display Name](urn:li:person:123)
  • Mention an organization: @[Company Name](urn:li:organization:456)
  • Hashtag (template): {hashtag|\\#|MyTag}
  • Hashtag (simple): #hashtag (single words only)

Python Helper Function

def escape_linkedin_commentary(text):
    """Escape reserved characters for LinkedIn Little Text Format."""
    reserved = ['\\', '|', '{', '}', '@', '[', ']', '(', ')', '<', '>', '#', '*', '_', '~']
    for char in reserved:
        text = text.replace(char, '\\' + char)
    return text

# Usage
commentary = escape_linkedin_commentary("Check this out! Details (inside) #tech")
# Result: "Check this out\\! Details \\(inside\\) \\#tech"

Notes

  • Person IDs are unique per application and not transferable across apps
  • Commentary uses Little Text Format — escape reserved characters (\|{}@[]()<>#*_~) with backslash or content will be truncated
  • The author field must use URN format: urn:li:person:{personId}
  • All posts require lifecycleState: "PUBLISHED"
  • Image uploads are a 3-step process: initialize, upload binary, create post
  • Video uploads are a 4-step process: initialize, upload binary, finalize, create post
  • Media upload URLs (images, videos, documents) point to www.linkedin.com, NOT api.linkedin.com. These are pre-signed URLs that do NOT go through the gateway and do NOT require an Authorization header. You MUST use Python urllib to handle these URLs — do NOT pass them through shell variables or use curl, as the URL contains encoded characters (%253D) that get corrupted by shell expansion.
  • Include LinkedIn-Version: 202506 header for all REST API calls
  • Profile picture URLs may expire; re-fetch if needed

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

  1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
  1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

  1. Ensure your URL path starts with linkedin. For example:
  • Correct: https://api.maton.ai/linkedin/rest/me
  • Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/rest/me
