Follow a LinkedIn Profile

POST /api/v1/follow

This API allows the authenticated user to follow a specific LinkedIn profile, receiving updates and notifications from that user's professional activities.

The profile_id is a unique identifier used by LinkedIn to distinguish individual user profiles. On WeLink, you can obtain the profile_id by calling the /api/v1/get_profile_details API. In the response of this API, the field profile_id is provided. This value should be used as the profile_id when making requests to other WeLink APIs that require a LinkedIn profile reference.
