/v1/actions/linkedin-extract-licenses-certifications/run/liveExtract LinkedIn Licenses Certifications pulls the full licenses and certifications section from a LinkedIn profile into structured rows, so you can analyse professional qualifications at scale. You get the credential name, issuing authority, issue date, and credential ID when present.
The action runs on the LinkedIn level and is built for recruiting, compliance, and talent intelligence workflows that hinge on verifiable qualifications.
You provide a LinkedIn profile URL, Edges authenticates with your connected LinkedIn session, and it reads the Licenses & Certifications block on the profile. The operation is synchronous for single profiles and returns a normalised array of credential objects.
Runs happen on Edges infrastructure with safe rate pacing. You do not manage browsers, cookies, or retries — the action handles the profile fetch and parsing end-to-end.
Reach for this action whenever qualifications drive the workflow — sourcing AWS-certified engineers, validating CPA credentials, tracking PMP renewals, or filtering a talent pool on ISO auditor status. It maps to the LinkedIn profile & company data API use case.
It is also the cleanest primitive for building credential-based scoring signals when neither title nor company alone answers the question.
