Find LinkedIn Industry IDs
View all LinkedIn Data API endpoints →Pass an industry keyword to retrieve available industry suggestions. The documented response contains data records with name and industry_id, plus success, message, process_time and cost. Use the selected IDs as industry in people search or industry_ids in job search. This lookup does not itself return companies, people or jobs and does not define a paginated listing contract.

Frequently asked questions
Are people and job industry filters named identically?
No. Send selected IDs as industry for search-people and industry_ids for search-jobs. Keep the returned industry_id as the value rather than the display name.
Will this return companies in the chosen industry?
No. It is a name-and-ID suggestion lookup. Use the selected classification in an appropriate search endpoint; no company listing or pagination is established by this response.
