Fetch a member’s public LinkedIn profile by their vanity public_id (the /in/<slug> segment of the URL, e.g. williamhgates).
This is the logged-out JSON-LD subset LinkedIn exposes to signed-out visitors — not the full logged-in record. There is no contact info, no connection graph, and no full skills list. Experience and education are the coarse entries LinkedIn renders publicly.
