Login to LinkedIn

This API endpoint allows users to log in to LinkedIn via We-Link. It returns an accountId for later calls and triggers a webhook with user info.

Note

For a faster and more seamless login experience, please use the newer login_v2 endpoint.

Social Login Support: WeLink does not support social login authentication via signing in to LinkedIn using Google, Apple, or other third-party providers.Customers must have a LinkedIn account with a password set in order to log in to WeLink using LinkedIn credentials. If an account was created using a social login provider, the user must first set a LinkedIn password before attempting to authenticate with WeLink.

Proxy support:

1. Internal Proxy (paid): Provide "location" (e.g., "US"). We assign an IP.
Example:

{
  "email": "example@mail.com",
  "password": "password",
  "proxy": {
    "location": "US"
  }
}

2. Customer Proxy: Provide host, port, username, and password.
Example:

{
  "email": "example@mail.com",
  "password": "password",
  "proxy": {
    "host": "hostip",
    "port": 4000,
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password"
  }
}

Important: One proxy method is required for login.

Proxy Location Selection: If you log in from one location and later log in again from a different location, it will incur additional charges because proxies are allocated based on the given location. When choosing Internal Proxy, please make sure to provide the correct location to avoid unnecessary credit usage.

Trial Limit Details: During the trial period, we will provide only one LinkedIn account and one internal proxy. This means only one proxy location is allowed if you choose the Internal Proxy option.

OTP Submission for Initial Login: When using the initial login, LinkedIn may sometimes require OTP verification. If 2FA is enabled, use Login v2 to avoid submitting the verification code via a separate API.
