# Upgrade encrypted or Sales Navigator profile links to canonical ones

`POST /resolve/linkedin/profiles`

Turn a mixed batch of LinkedIn identifiers into canonical profile URLs. Sales Navigator links and encrypted-id links cannot be stored or reliably matched against a contact; this is what upgrades them. Cached results cost nothing, and duplicates are removed before anything is spent.

## Request body

- object
  - `inputs` string[], required — Up to 50 LinkedIn identifiers to resolve. Accepts any mix of: full profile URLs (https://www.linkedin.com/in/username), vanity names (john-doe), profile URNs (urn:li:fsd_profile:ACoAAA...), bare ACoA ids, and Sales Navigator deep links. Duplicates are auto-removed.

## Response `200`

One result per distinct input, in the order submitted

- object
  - `results` object[], required
    - `input` string, required — Echo of what was submitted.
    - `profileUrl` string, nullable, required — Canonical /in/<slug> URL when one was found.
    - `profileUrn` string, nullable, required
    - `publicIdentifier` string, nullable, required — The vanity slug, never the encrypted id.
    - `status` string, required — resolved = a canonical vanity slug; acoa_only = an encrypted id and nothing better; failed = nothing.
    - `error` string, nullable, required — A code, present only on failure.
    - `cached` boolean, required — True when served from cache, which costs nothing.
  - `creditsUsed` integer, required — Credits consumed by this call. 0 for free endpoints, cached results, duplicates, and for every query that does not touch LinkedIn.
  - `retryAfter` integer, required — Seconds to wait before another call of the same type. 0 means no wait is needed.
  - `_meta` object — Credit balance carried on every response so a caller never has to ask for it separately. Absent when the caller has no connected account.
    - `credits` object, required
      - `current` number, required — Credits spent this period.
      - `limit` number, nullable, required — Period allowance, or null when unlimited.
      - `remaining` number, nullable, required — Allowance left, or null when unlimited.
      - `percentage` number, required — Share of the allowance spent, 0 to 100.
      - `isUnlimited` boolean, required
      - `accountPlan` string, required — The credential's plan.

## Other responses

- `400` — The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error.
- `401` — Although HTTP specifies "unauthorized", this response means "unauthenticated". Authenticate to continue. NOTE: 401 is also returned with code "linkedin_not_connected" when the caller IS authenticated but has no connected LinkedIn account — connect LinkedIn (not re-authenticate) to continue.
- `403` — The client does not have access rights to the content.
- `404` — The server cannot find the requested resource.
- `409` — The request conflicts with the current state of the server.
- `410` — The requested content has been permanently deleted from the server.
- `422` — The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.
- `429` — Rate limit exceeded. Read error.retryAfter for the wait time in seconds.
- `500` — The server encountered a situation it does not know how to handle.
- `502` — LinkedIn returned a server error or the proxy connection failed. Retry after a few seconds.
- `503` — Proxy capacity temporarily exceeded. Retry after a few seconds.
