# Microsoft LinkedIn

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/microsoft-linkedin/  
**Website:** https://developer.linkedin.com/  
**APIs profiled:** 8

LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, operates a versioned Rest.li API platform covering advertising and marketing, company page and community management, talent and recruiting, sales navigation, learning, and consumer sign-in. The versioned Marketing surface lives under https://api.linkedin.com/rest/ and requires a Linkedin-Version YYYYMM header on every call, with each monthly version supported for a minimum of twelve months before it is sunset. Authentication is OAuth 2.0, and Sign In with LinkedIn is a conformant OpenID Connect provider with a live discovery document. Access to the Marketing, Talent, Sales and Learning APIs is gated behind product approval and, in most cases, a commercial partner relationship; LinkedIn publishes no API pricing and no OpenAPI definitions of its own.
