LinkedIn Follower & Connection Count API

Supply username to retrieve count-only audience context. The documented result has data.follower_count and data.connection_count in the usual success/message response. It does not contain lists of followers or connections, relationship details, or historical growth. Save dated observations in your application when a participating creator needs a trend report.

API Features

Audience counts by username The input is a public username rather than the URN used for many profile sections.

Two separate count fields follower_count and connection_count represent different relationship measures.

Count-only response scope No underlying follower or connection list is shown in the documented response.

Dated audience snapshots Application-collected timestamps are needed to compare counts across observations.

Frequently asked questions

Does this return the people who follow the profile?

No. The documented data object contains follower_count and connection_count only. It is not a follower-list or connection-list endpoint.

Is audience growth history included?

No. Store your own dated count observations if you need a history, and label them as snapshots collected by your application.
