Core Concepts

Search

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.

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"
1{
2  "success": true,
3  "total": 145,
4  "results": [
5    {
6      "fullName": "Jane Smith",
7      "headline": "CTO at Stripe",
8      "vanityName": "janesmith",
9      "profileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/janesmith/",
10      "location": "San Francisco Bay Area",
11      "connectionDegree": "2ND",
12      "entityUrn": "urn:li:fsd_profile:ABC123"
13    }
14  ]
15}

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
keywordsstringSearch terms (name, title, skills)
companystringCompany name — auto-resolved to LinkedIn company ID
networkstringConnection degree filter: F (1st), S (2nd), O (3rd+)
startnumberPagination offset (default: 0)
countnumberResults per page (default: 10, max: 49)

The company parameter accepts company names (e.g., "Stripe") and auto-resolves them to LinkedIn company IDs via a 3-strategy fallback (GraphQL, REST, Company search). You do not need to find the company ID yourself.

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"

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.

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

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

LinkedIn returns a maximum of ~1,000 results for any search query, even if the total count is higher. Use specific keywords and filters to narrow your results.
