Phone Finder

The Phone Number Finder API returns the phone number of a person from a LinkedIn profile URL. It costs 50 credits per search, refunded when no number is found.

The only input is a public LinkedIn profile URL, https://www.linkedin.com/in/<slug>. A URL without linkedin.com/in/, such as a Sales Navigator lead URL, is refused with Invalid LinkedIn URL.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "_id": "6650f1a2b839d80011c5f002",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-fontaine",
    "status": "done",
    "qualification": "found",
    "phoneNumber": "+33612345678",
    "country": "FR",
    "date": "2026-10-11T08:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

qualification is found and phoneNumber is set when a number was found. Otherwise the 50 credits come back.

The result arrives from the provider when it is ready: there is no fixed upper bound on the wait. Poll every few seconds, then less often, and keep the jobId if you stop. A number already found for the same profile in the last 6 months is returned at once, and costs 50 credits too.
