Search → Search People
AI-generatedOverview
The node provides enhanced integration with LinkedIn's Marketing API v2, enabling various LinkedIn-related operations within n8n workflows. Specifically, the Search People operation under the Search resource allows users to perform people searches on LinkedIn based on a query string. This is useful for finding LinkedIn profiles matching specific criteria, such as job titles, skills, or names.
Common scenarios include:
- Recruiting workflows where you want to find potential candidates by searching LinkedIn profiles.
- Sales and marketing automation to identify leads or contacts fitting certain profiles.
- Networking automation to discover professionals in particular industries or roles.
Example: Searching for "Software Engineer" to retrieve a list of LinkedIn profiles matching that title.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Search Query | The search string used to find people on LinkedIn (e.g., "Software Engineer"). |
| Max Results | Maximum number of results to return (1 to 100). Defaults to 20. |
| Start Index | Index of the first result to return, useful for pagination. Defaults to 0. |
Output
The output is an array of JSON objects representing the search results from LinkedIn people search. Each item corresponds to one search execution and contains the raw JSON response from the LinkedIn API for the people search query.
The structure of each output item includes:
json: The JSON data returned by the LinkedIn API for the people search.itemData.item: The index of the input item that triggered this output.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the external "N8N Tools API" service which acts as a proxy or enhancer for LinkedIn API calls.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials for LinkedIn API access.
- The node validates the subscription and API key before executing any operation.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond these credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correct and active.
- LinkedIn API rate limits: Since the node uses LinkedIn's API, hitting rate limits may cause errors or incomplete results.
- Empty or no results: Ensure the search query is valid and not too restrictive; also check pagination parameters (
maxResultsandstartIndex). - Network or connectivity issues: Errors during HTTP requests to the N8N Tools API or LinkedIn API may occur if network connectivity is unstable.
