Use case · Teams building AI SDRs
LinkedIn data for AI sales agents. An SDR that reads before it writes.
An AI sales agent is only as good as what it knows about the person. Let it read the profile, the company and the last few posts before it writes a line, and let it sign up and pay its own way within a budget you set.

How it works
- The agent registers itself with one POST and starts on free credit; you claim it with a code.
- For each lead it quotes, then reads the profile with recent posts in one call, and the company.
- It writes the first line from what the person actually said, and logs what each lead cost.
- maxUsd on every call is a hard ceiling it cannot exceed.
The calls
{
"op": "profiles",
"subjects": [
"satyanadella"
],
"include": {
"posts": {
"limit": 5
}
},
"maxUsd": 0.02
}What it costs
At today's per-record prices, pay as you go. Quotes are free, records that do not come back are refunded, and a record your account already fetched today is free.
| Job | Records | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| One lead: profile, company, 5 posts | 7 records | $0.018 |
| 1,000 leads | 7,000 records | $18.00 |
Questions people ask.
Can the agent buy more credit on its own?
No. It can quote, run and spend what it has. When the balance is short it hands a person a top-up link and stops. A person always pays.
How do I stop runaway spend?
Set maxUsd on calls; the API refuses anything above it before spending. Agents spend from one balance you control, and you can turn any agent off in the console.

The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.
Why people pick API for Agents
- One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
- A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
- Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
- $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
- Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
- Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
- Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
- Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
