Linkedin Plans Pricing
LinkedIn does not charge per-call for its public APIs. Access is gated by program approval rather than tiered pricing. Consumer-facing products (Sign In, Share, Verified) are free. Marketing, Talent, Sales Navigator, Learning, and Compliance APIs are gated through partner programs and access tiers (Development, Standard, Enterprise) — what costs money is the underlying LinkedIn product (ad spend, Recruiter / Sales Navigator / Learning seats), not the API itself.
Linkedin Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for LinkedIn on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 8 plans, covering freemium and enterprise tiers, with named plans including Consumer APIs (Sign In / Share / Verified), Marketing API — Development Tier, Marketing API — Standard Tier, Talent Solutions APIs (Recruiter System Connect / Job Posting), Sales Navigator APIs (CRM Sync / Display / Analytics), and 3 more.
Tagged areas include Business, Careers, Marketing, Professional Networking, and Recruiting.
