LinkedIn Group Info API - Community Metadata & Rules

Pass group_id to retrieve available group metadata. The documented data object includes id, urn, name, description, industries, member_count, is_public, is_active, created_at, activity, rules, post_approval_enabled, owners, logo and cover. Metadata access is not membership and does not imply access to private posts. Use group identifiers already known to or appropriately selected by your application.

API Features

Known-group metadata lookup group_id selects the professional community record to inspect.

Visibility and activity flags is_public and is_active describe returned group metadata, not your access rights.

Community rules and approval rules and post_approval_enabled add documented participation context.

Group size and ownership context member_count and available owners describe the community without enrolling the caller.

Frequently asked questions

Does is_public=true grant membership or posting permission?

No. It is metadata about the group. This read operation does not join the group, request membership or grant permission to post.

Can I use this to read private group discussions?

No such access is established. Group metadata and available group posts are separate surfaces, and private-content access must not be implied.
