LinkedIn Marketing API

The LinkedIn Marketing API Program provides REST APIs that help businesses create LinkedIn marketing campaigns, report on campaign performance, manage leads from Lead Gen Forms, target matched audiences, and grow company Pages. It covers Advertising, Reporting and Analytics, Lead Sync, Matched Audiences, Audience Insights, Media Planning, Conversions, Community Management, Event Management, and Company Intelligence APIs. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 three-legged (authorization code) flow with versioned API access.

LinkedIn Marketing API publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including AdBudgetPricing API, AdTargetingFacets API, Ad Accounts API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Advertising, Marketing, LinkedIn, Lead Generation, and Audience Targeting.

The LinkedIn Marketing API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

LinkedIn Marketing API’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, sandbox, changelog, API reference, and 39 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/linkedin-ads/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/linkedin-ads to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
