LinkedIn School Search API - Institution Names & IDs

Use keyword and optional page to discover institution records. The documented data array contains id, name, universal_name, location, students, url and logo, with page, total and has_more. Select a matching institution before using its ID as a people-search school filter. students is a display string in the sample rather than a verified enrollment number.

API Features

Institution-name discovery keyword searches candidate school records rather than assuming a known numeric ID.

School-specific source identity id, universal_name and url identify the returned institution page.

Location-assisted school selection name and location help distinguish institutions with similar names.

Institution result pages page, total and has_more describe school-search continuation; students remains a display value.

Frequently asked questions

Which value should I use for the people-search school filter?

Use the selected result's id, not the school display name. Review the location and source URL to disambiguate similar institutions.

Is students a reliable numeric enrollment total?

The documented sample represents it as a display string. Preserve that representation and do not treat it as independently verified enrollment.
