Contact Information API Documentation

Retrieve a Validated Email address for any LinkedIn user.

Email from LinkedIn Profile

Uses 1 Email Credit.

The contact API runs one validation check on the email address and returns the result. If the email address is valid, it will be returned in the response. If the email address is Probable, the response will contain a list of alternative email addresses. A credit is only deducted if the email address is Valid. You can re-run the validation check on the email address multiple times until you receive a Valid response. We recommend doing this 5-10 times if the email is Probable.

Here is an example of a LinkedIn Contact Information API call in Python:

url = "<https://api.lix-it.com/v1/contact/email/by-linkedin?url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/alfie-lambert>"
payload={}
headers = {
  'Authorization': lix_api_key
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

This call will return JSON, structured like this:

json { "email": "*****@lix-it.com", "status": "VALID", "alternatives": ["*****@lix-it.com"] }
