LinkedIn job posting — POST /v1/linkedin/job

LinkedIn's signed-out posting page (jobs-guest/jobs/api/jobPosting/ <id>) over plain HTTP. Carries the title, company (+ numeric company_id, usable in company_ids on POST /v1/linkedin/jobs), location, relative age and applicant count verbatim ("Over 200 applicants"), the criteria LinkedIn prints (seniority level, employment type, industries — each mapped to a field and also listed verbatim in criteria), the poster's pay range with LinkedIn's label for it, and easy_apply (true = LinkedIn Easy Apply, false = apply on the company's site, absent when no Apply control is shown).

description is plain text (line breaks kept); description_html is LinkedIn's markup reduced to p/br/strong/em/u/lists/headings with every attribute dropped, safe to render. closed is true when LinkedIn shows "No longer accepting applications". An unknown or deleted id is a 404 and is not billed. LinkedIn does not show signed-out visitors the off-site apply URL, so none is returned.

Errors

Errors return a JSON body with a detail field. Failed requests are not charged. See Errors for the full list and retry advice.

Status	Meaning	Retry?
`401`Unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key. `{"detail":"missing or invalid API key"}`	No, fix the request
`402`Payment Required	Not enough credits for this request. Only returned once credit enforcement is switched on; during the beta metering runs in shadow mode and never blocks. `{"detail":"insufficient credits: this request costs 5, 0 available. Credits renew 2026-11-01."}`	No, fix the request
`404`Not Found	The property, stay, job or record was not found. `{"detail":"job not found"}`	No, fix the request
`422`Unprocessable Content	Request validation failed. `detail` is a list of problems for schema errors, or a string for semantic checks performed by the endpoint. `{"detail":[{"loc":["body","name"],"msg":"Field required","type":"missing"}]}`	No, fix the request
`429`Too Many Requests	Too many requests: the key's requests-per-minute limit was exceeded, or (once credit enforcement is on) the plan's concurrent-request limit. No rate-limit or Retry-After headers are sent; back off and retry. `{"detail":"rate limit 60/min exceeded"}`	Yes, with backoff
`502`Bad Gateway	The upstream source failed, blocked the request or returned an unusable answer. Safe to retry later; failed requests are not charged. `{"detail":"RuntimeError"}`	Yes, with backoff
`503`Service Unavailable	Temporarily unavailable: a dependency of this endpoint is down, or the upstream source changed its contract. Retry later. `{"detail":"database unavailable: OperationalError"}`	Yes, with backoff
