LinkedIn Person Search

Search people data from LinkedIn using the UpKuaJing Open Platform API.

Overview

This skill provides access to UpKuaJing's LinkedIn people data through one list search script. API key generation and top-up are provided through the auth.py script.

Running Scripts

Environment Setup

1. Check Python: python --version
2. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Script directory: scripts/*.py Run example: python scripts/*.py

Important: Always use direct script invocation like python scripts/linkedin_person_search.py. Do NOT use shell compound commands like cd scripts && python linkedin_person_search.py

LinkedIn Person List Search (linkedin_person_search.py)

• Return granularity: Each person as one record
• Use cases: Focus on "which people exist" in LinkedIn data
• Examples:
  • "Find CTOs at XXXX"
  • "Find Sales Directors in China"
• Parameters: See LinkedIn Person List

API Key and Top-up

This skill requires an API key. The API key is stored in the ~/.upkuajing/.env file:

cat ~/.upkuajing/.env

Example file content:

UPKUAJING_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

API Key Not Set

First check if the ~/.upkuajing/.env file has UPKUAJING_API_KEY; If UPKUAJING_API_KEY is not set, prompt the user to choose:

1. User has one: User provides it (manually add to ~/.upkuajing/.env file)
2. User doesn't have one: You can apply using the interface (auth.py --new_key), the new key will be automatically saved to ~/.upkuajing/.env Wait for user selection;

Account Top-up

When API response indicates insufficient balance, explain and guide user to top up:

1. Create top-up order (auth.py --new_rec_order)
2. Based on order response, send payment page URL to user, guide user to open URL and pay, user confirms after successful payment;

Get Account Information

Use this script to get account information for UPKUAJING_API_KEY: auth.py --account_info

API Key and UpKuaJing Account

• Newly applied API key: Register and login at UpKuaJing Open Platform, then bind account

Fees

All API calls incur fees, different interfaces have different billing methods.

Latest pricing: Users can visit Detailed Price Description Or use: python scripts/auth.py --price_info (returns complete pricing for all interfaces)

List Search Billing Rules

Billed by number of calls, each call returns up to 20 records:

• Number of calls: ceil(query_count / 20) times
• Whenever query_count > 20, must before execution:
  1. Inform user of expected number of calls
  2. Stop, wait for explicit user confirmation in a separate message, then execute script

Fee Confirmation Principle

Any operation that incurs fees must first inform and wait for explicit user confirmation. Do not execute in the same message as the notification.

Workflow

Choose parameters based on user intent.

Decision Guide

Usage Examples

Scenario 1: Small Query — Search People

User request: "Find CTOs at XXXX"

python scripts/linkedin_person_search.py \
  --params '{"companyNames": ["XXXX"], "titleNames": ["CTO"]}' \
  --query_count 20

Scenario 2: Large Query — Multiple Script Calls Required

User request: "Find 1000 US people with email addresses in the tech industry" Before execution inform user: ceil(1000/20) = 50 API calls, confirm before executing.

python scripts/linkedin_person_search.py --params '{"humanIndustries": ["technology"], "countryCodes": ["US"], "existEmail": 1}' --query_count 1000

After execution: Script responds {"task_id":"a1b2-c3d4", "file_url": "xxxxx", ……} Continue execution, append data: Specify task_id, script continues from where it left off and appends to file

python scripts/linkedin_person_search.py --task_id 'task-id-here' --query_count 2000

Error Handling

• API key invalid/non-existent: Check UPKUAJING_API_KEY in ~/.upkuajing/.env file
• Insufficient balance: Guide user to top up
• Invalid parameters: Must first check the corresponding API documentation in references/ directory, get correct parameter names and formats from documentation, do not guess

API Documentation Reference

• LinkedIn Person List API

Best Practices

1. Check API documentation:

   • Before executing queries, must first check the corresponding API reference documentation
   • Check references/linkedin-person-list-api.md
   • Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation

2. Optimize query parameters:

   • Use humanIndustries / companyNames to filter precisely; industry names must be in English
   • Use existEmail=1 or existPhone=1 to filter people with contact information
   • Use countryCodes to limit country scope

3. Large result sets:

   • For large queries, pay attention to the jsonl file size

Notes

• People records use hid as the unique identifier; pid is the associated company identifier
• Country codes use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format (e.g., CN, US, JP)
• File paths use forward slashes on all platforms
• Industry names must be in English
• Search quantity affects API response time, recommend setting timeout: 120
• Prohibit outputting technical parameter format: Do not display code-style parameters in responses, convert to natural language
• Do not estimate or guess per-call fees — use python scripts/auth.py --price_info to get accurate pricing information
• Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation
