FAQ

I'm getting a 404 error when querying LinkedIn. What can I do?

LinkedIn's API is generally more strict. If you encounter a 404 error, try reducing the results_wanted parameter. There may not be enough results.

I'm having issues with my queries. What should I do?

Broadening your filters can often help. For instance, if you're using very specific criteria, try making them more general to retrieve results more reliably. If it still persists, submit an issue.
