Search

Voyager exposes LinkedIn’s internal search APIs for people, companies, content, jobs, and groups. All search endpoints support pagination via start and count parameters, and the people / company endpoints also have Sales Navigator variants with 28 structured filters.

Search People

Find LinkedIn members by keywords, company, and connection degree:

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
>
  -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/people?keywords=CTO&company=Stripe&network=S&count=10"

Parameters

Search Companies

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
>
  -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/companies?keywords=fintech+London&count=10"

Search Content

Find posts and articles by keyword:

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
>
  -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/content?keywords=AI+infrastructure&count=10"

Pass maxResults=N (1–5000) to server-side auto-paginate past the single-page limit — start/count are ignored and the server loops until the underlying cursor empties or the cap is hit:

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/content?keywords=cosine&mentionsOrganizationId=91573134&maxResults=1000"

The same maxResults shortcut applies to /api/posts/:postId/reactions, /api/posts/:postId/comments, /api/profile/followers, /api/profile/following, /api/connect/received, and /api/invitations/sent.

Search Jobs

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
>
  -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/jobs?keywords=Staff+Engineer&location=San+Francisco&count=25"

Job Detail

Get full details for a specific job posting:

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
>
  -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/jobs/3847291056"

Search Groups

$
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
>
  -H "X-User-Id: $USER" \
>
  "$BASE/api/search/groups?keywords=AI+engineering&count=10"

Pagination

All search endpoints support offset-based pagination:

$
# Page 1
$
curl "$BASE/api/search/people?keywords=CTO&start=0&count=10" \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "X-User-Id: $USER"
$
$
# Page 2
$
curl "$BASE/api/search/people?keywords=CTO&start=10&count=10" \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "X-User-Id: $USER"
$
$
# Page 3
$
curl "$BASE/api/search/people?keywords=CTO&start=20&count=10" \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H "X-User-Id: $USER"

When results are exhausted, the response returns 0 results. See Pagination for a complete looping pattern.

SalesNav Search

For advanced lead search with richer filters and data, use the SalesNav search endpoint. See SalesNav.

Recommended Pacing

• Between search pages: 3-5 seconds
• Daily search volume: No hard limit, but high-volume searching can trigger LinkedIn rate limits
