LinkedIn Skills API - Listed Skills & Endorsements

Pass a profile urn with optional page to read available listed skills. The documented data entries contain skill and num_endorsements, accompanied by page, total and has_more. These are profile-listed skills and counts, not a standardized proficiency assessment. Use them in editable, human-reviewed inventories rather than as automatic hiring qualifications.

API Features

Skill-name records The documented skill field supplies the profile-listed label.

Per-skill endorsement counts num_endorsements describes the available count for that listed skill.

Skill-section continuation page, total and has_more support retrieving further skill entries.

Self-reported proficiency boundary Listed skills and endorsements do not independently establish competence.

Frequently asked questions

Do endorsements prove that someone is proficient?

No. num_endorsements is a count associated with a listed skill, not a verified assessment or qualification.

Should I infer missing skills from the headline?

No. This endpoint returns the available skill entries for the supplied urn. Preserve absence and let the user edit their inventory rather than inventing skills.
