01// about this endpoint
Retrieve a complete professional profile using a LinkedIn username. Returns structured data covering work experience, education, certifications, skills, languages, volunteer work, and professional summary. This is the core profile enrichment endpoint used by recruiting agents, sales development bots, and research assistants that need to understand a person's professional background at a glance.

Call it over REST
Authenticate with a bearer token against https://api.superagnt.com. Swap the placeholders for your key and parameter values.

curl -s "https://api.superagnt.com/?username=<username>" \

Copy-paste prompt
Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_linkedin_get_profile_data, and runs a first call — with the REST fallback if MCP is unavailable.

You are wiring up the superagnt "LinkedIn" API to use this endpoint: Get Profile Data.
1. CONNECT over MCP (preferred). No token to paste either way.
On Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code signed in with a Claude
account), the server is a connector: give the user this link, they click Add
and approve:
https://claude.ai/customize/connectors/yours?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=superagnt&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.superagnt.com%2Fmcp&open_in_browser=1
Any other MCP client (or Claude Code signed in with an API key): add the server
and let the client run the browser sign-in:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http superagnt https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
claude mcp login superagnt
MCP endpoint: https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
After connecting, the tool you want is named exactly:
data_linkedin_get_profile_data
Call agnt_tools_search or agnt_tools_list_enabled to confirm it is available.
2. REST fallback (if you are not using MCP):
GET https://api.superagnt.com/
Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
Required parameters:
- username (string, required)
Optional parameters:
- (none)
3. COST & KEY. Each successful call costs $0.009 in credits. Only successful calls are charged.
Get a superagnt API key at https://app.superagnt.com.
4. TEST. Connect the server (or set the key), discover the tool
(data_linkedin_get_profile_data), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
