LinkedIn Profile to PDF API - Authorized Profile Export

Supply username to retrieve a profile PDF for an authorized review workflow. The documented successful response is a PDF document beginning with %PDF, not the usual JSON success/data object. Handle the returned document payload as a file rather than assuming profile fields can be parsed from JSON. The documentation sample establishes a document response, not universal download availability or a guarantee that every current profile section appears in the export.

API Features

Username-driven document retrieval The operation uses a public username instead of a preexisting document ID.

PDF-format sample The documented response begins with a PDF signature rather than a JSON profile envelope.

Document-specific handling Use file-aware response handling instead of calling a JSON parser on the PDF payload.

Authorized snapshot retention Treat an exported profile as a point-in-time document subject to your permission and deletion policy.

Frequently asked questions

Does this endpoint return the normal JSON data object?

No. Its documented successful sample is PDF content. Use document-aware handling for the returned payload and do not assume a downloadable URL or JSON profile fields will be present.

Can I use the export as a verified resume?

No. It is a profile-derived document, not independent verification of employment, education or credentials. Obtain appropriate permission and apply access, retention and deletion controls.
