# Get Profile

> A public LinkedIn member profile by vanity public_id — headline, location, about, experience, education, languages and awards.

Fetch a member's public LinkedIn profile by their vanity `public_id` (the
`/in/<slug>` segment of the URL, e.g. `williamhgates`).

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>
