LinkedIn About This Profile API - Join & Update Context

Pass the urn returned by a profile lookup to retrieve account-context metadata. The documented data object contains joined, profile_photo and contact_information as human-readable date or recency strings. This is the About this profile surface, not biography text or proof of identity. Values may use relative wording and should be retained as returned rather than converted into unsupported precise timestamps.

API Features

Profile-URN context read Use the urn returned for the selected professional profile.

Account-join wording joined contains the documented account-join context rather than a biography.

Update-recency strings profile_photo and contact_information describe available update timing in human-readable form.

Non-verification boundary Join and update metadata is context, not proof that the account holder is genuine.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the profile biography or About text?

No. This endpoint documents joined, profile_photo and contact_information timing context. Biography text is requested with include_bio on get-user-profile.

Can I treat these values as exact timestamps?

Not automatically. The sample contains human-readable timing strings. Preserve their wording and do not invent precision or interpret recency metadata as identity verification.
