LinkedIn APIs Terms of Use

Introduction

Thank you for using the LinkedIn APIs. LinkedIn makes its application programming interfaces (LinkedIn APIs» or «APIs») available to you to facilitate the development of innovative applications with a professional context using LinkedIn data and developer tools. If you want to use the LinkedIn APIs outside the scope of these Terms and Conditions, or to build and/or distribute enterprise applications outside your own company (e.g. use the APIs to build an Application that you distribute to other companies), please contact our Enterprise Relations Team.

By using one or more of the LinkedIn APIs, you and, if applicable, the company you represent (collectively, «you») accept and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the «Terms of Use» or «Terms»). It is important that you read these Terms as they form a legal agreement between you and LinkedIn Corporation («LinkedIn», «we», or «us»).

LinkedIn APIs Terms of Use

A. Welcome to the LinkedIn Developer Program

We’re excited that you’ve chosen to develop on the LinkedIn platform. At LinkedIn, we believe in putting our members first. We created our Developer Program to enable developers to create fantastic applications for our members. Together, we are building the professional web.

Our members include professionals and aspiring professionals. Participating in our Developer program requires that you act professionally as well:

To your users
To their fellow LinkedIn members
To LinkedIn

These Terms will evolve, so please check back regularly.

B. Who This Program Is For

We actively encourage you to create new types of applications that could never exist without the LinkedIn platform.

Please incorporate our APIs into your products to enable LinkedIn members to:

Bring their professional identities with them as they move across the web
Increase their productivity by enriching their experiences with professional information
Build their professional brand by publishing, discussing, and sharing content
Gain insights into how they can be more successful through content curation and discovery
Network, online and offline, with fellow professionals
Discover and connect with like minded professionals who can help them in their careers

The use of our plugins is subject to the terms of our Plugins Terms of Use. If you use both APIs and LinkedIn plugins in your Application, you must comply with these Terms and the Plugins Terms of Use.

C. Who Our Partner Programs Are For

We designed our Partner Programs to give specific categories of applications access to our Platform. Approved partners in these programs often get enhanced use of our APIs and premium support.

Learn more about all of our Partner Programs, including the application process, at https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs.

If your application falls into one or more of the following categories, you are required to be part of one of our Partner Programs and have a signed agreement with LinkedIn that allows you to use our APIs in your application:

Applications used for hiring, marketing, or sales. For example, employee hiring, company marketing or monitoring, lead generation, relationship management, systematic matching of people with their LinkedIn profile, or anything with a similar feature or purpose. Developers interested in these categories often apply to one of the following Partner Programs: Social Media Management, Ads, ATS, Job Postings, CRM, or our Certified Developer Program.

Applications that currently have or expect to have more than 250,000 lifetime members using our APIs, make more than 500,000 daily API calls, make more than 500,000 lifetime people search API calls, or serve greater than 1 million daily plugin impressions.

Applications that store or export any data from LinkedIn other than the Profile Data as explicitly allowed in Section III.B. This includes data for anyone other than the member, such as a member’s connections, people found via search, and information about companies and job postings.

If you believe that you are a good fit for one of these programs or are interested in building an application that requires access or permission under our Partner Programs, please contact us.

II. Joining our Program

A. Developer Accounts and Access Credentials

1. Developer Account.

To use the API, you must first sign up for a Developer Account using your real LinkedIn account. Both the Developer Account and your LinkedIn account must contain accurate and up-to-date information at all times, including your current title, company, and e-mail address.

2. Access Credentials.

Once you have a Developer Account you may obtain Access Credentials for your Application. The Access Credentials enable us to associate your API activity with your Application and the members using it. All activities that occur using your Access Credentials are your responsibility. Keep them secret. Do not sell, transfer, or sublicense them. Do not attempt to circumvent the Access Credentials. You must not require your users to obtain their own Access Credentials to use your Application.

3. Test Accounts.

For testing purposes only, you may create up to five LinkedIn accounts. Accounts must be created manually and not via any automated means, including scripts. These test accounts must not interact with non-test accounts (e.g. they must not be used to post messages in Groups), or be used to circumvent user limits. These accounts must have profiles that clearly identify them as test accounts, not have any profile positions at real companies besides your own, and be listed as Developers on your Developer Account.

B. API License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license under LinkedIn’s intellectual property rights during the term of this agreement to use the APIs to develop, test, and support your Application, and to let your customers use your integration of the APIs within your Application.

III. Act Professionally

A. Display and Use Content Properly

1. Data Views.

Each user must grant your application access to their LinkedIn network, and each user may only see data from his or her own LinkedIn network. Data from one user’s LinkedIn account or network must not be exposed to another user. People’s views of their networks are private to them, based on the connections they have. For example, you must not gather information about a LinkedIn member in one user’s network and show that information to other users.

2. Excluded Uses.

The use scenarios below are not permitted under these Terms. You must never do any of the following:

a. Use LinkedIn Content in any advertisements or for purposes of targeting advertisements, in your Application or elsewhere.

b. Use the Content for any of the following: generating messages, promotions, offers, or mass messages; or for any other purpose other than, and solely to the extent necessary for, allowing end users to use the Content in your Application.

c. Use the APIs in any Application that contains or displays adult content, promotes gambling, involves the sale of tobacco or alcohol to persons under 21 years of age, or otherwise violates any law or regulation.

d. Sell, lease, share, transfer, or sublicense any Content or access to any Content, directly or indirectly, to any third party, including any recruiter, data broker, salesperson, or advertising-related entity.

e. Offer API search results as aggregated search.

f. Commingle Content from the APIs with any LinkedIn data obtained directly or indirectly from another source, including data scraped from our Website or data provided by a third party. For example, you cannot supplement the Profile Data you have received via the API with other LinkedIn information obtained from scraping our Website, whether that scraping was done by you or a third party.

g. Display Content, including search results, gathered using the Access Credentials of another person. Each person must authenticate individually.

h. Distribute or allow access to the stand-alone APIs, or provide an application program interface that provides access to LinkedIn Content. Anyone who wants access to our APIs and Content must join our Developer Program.

B. Store Content Only As Allowed

This Section III(B) replaces the old Section 3.4 that may be referred to in some of our other agreements. The terms of this Section III(B) apply everywhere that Section 3.4 of the API Terms of Use is referenced.

1. No Copying.

Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you must not copy or store any Content. This restriction includes any derived, hashed, or transformed data, or any method where you capture information expressed by the Content, even if you don’t store the Content itself.

2. Tokens.

You may store the alphanumeric user IDs (Member Tokens) that we provide to you for identifying users or any individual member’s authentication token (OAuth Token) that we provide to you when a LinkedIn user authenticates your Application to his LinkedIn account.

3. Cache for Performance.

To improve the member experience, you may cache LinkedIn Content, but you must not do so for more than 24 hours from your original request. This limited permission to cache is for performance reasons only. You do not have any rights to the LinkedIn Content beyond this limited use.

4. Member Profile Data.

If you obtain a member’s consent to store that member’s profile, you may perform a one-time capture of the Profile Data for that member and store that Profile Data. The process for obtaining member consent must meet the specifications provided by LinkedIn and explicitly inform the member which parts of his or her profile you are storing. Each future request for revised Profile Data must be accompanied by another request for consent from that member and consent from that member. You must use stored Profile Data solely for the benefit of the LinkedIn user that granted you permission to access it. You must not monetize it, directly or indirectly. For example, you may not sell access to an aggregated collection of profiles or the most relevant people for a position.

C. Delete Content When Asked

1. Delete at User Request

You must delete all data collected with the user’s consent, including the Member Token and the OAuth Token, upon request by the user, when the user uninstalls your Application, or when the user closes his or her account with you. The restrictions of this Section III(C)(1) do not apply to data that users provide directly to you and that is separately entered or uploaded to you by the user of your Application.

2. Delete for Breach.

You must immediately delete all data if we terminate your use of the APIs for breach of these Terms, except when doing so would cause you to violate any law or obligation imposed by a governmental authority.

D. Don’t Harm or Trick Members

Your Application must include your own user agreement and privacy policy. Your user agreement and privacy policy must be prominently identified or located where users download or access your Application. You must promptly notify us of any breaches of your user agreement or privacy policy that impact or may impact our members. Your privacy policy must be at least as stringent and user-friendly as LinkedIn’s.

Before obtaining information from your users of the Application, you must obtain their informed consent by informing them what information you collect and how it will be used and/or shared.

Your Application must not:

Implement features or business practices that harm the professional reputation, relationships, or professional ecosystem of LinkedIn members.
Impersonate a LinkedIn user or misrepresent any user or other third party when requesting or publishing information.
Obfuscate or hide any LinkedIn buttons, sign-in functionality, consent, or authorization flows from your users.
In order to access member specific Content through the APIs, your users must sign-in with their LinkedIn credentials and grant your Application access to their Content.
Proxy, request or collect LinkedIn user names or passwords. You are never allowed to collect or use a LinkedIn member’s username or password in any fashion for any reason. We want our members to have safe and consistent experiences across all applications.

E. Be a Good Citizen to our Platform

You share LinkedIn and our APIs with your fellow members and developers. Write your Application as you’d want others to write theirs.

Only ask for the minimum data fields your application needs to work properly.
Don’t try to exceed or circumvent your limitations on calls and use. This includes creating multiple applications for identical, or largely similar, usage (e.g. having one application per customer). If we believe that you have exceeded or circumvented our limitations, or if you have tried to, we may temporarily suspend or permanently block your access to the APIs, disable your developer account, or both.
Don’t download, scrape, post, or transmit, in any form or by any means, any part of our Website or Content.
Don’t copy, reformat, reverse-engineer, or otherwise modify the APIs, Access Credentials, our Website or any Content.
Don’t interfere with or disrupt LinkedIn services or servers or networks connected to LinkedIn services, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to LinkedIn services.

F. Treat Our Brand With Respect

1. Brand Features License.

Subject to these Terms, including the Branding Guidelines, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicenseable, and non-transferable license during the Term to display our Brand Features to promote or advertise your integration of the APIs in your Application.

2. Restrictions.

You must not:

a. Display our Brand Features in any way that is misleading, defamatory, infringing, libelous, disparaging, obscene, or otherwise objectionable to LinkedIn in its sole discretion, or in a way that suggests we have created, sponsored, or endorsed your Application or its content;
b. Remove any legal, copyright, trademark, watermark or other proprietary rights notices contained in or on materials you receive or access pursuant to these Terms, including the APIs, the materials posted at the Developer Site, and our Website; or
c. Use the APIs or Brand Features for any illegal, unauthorized or otherwise improper purposes, or in any manner that would violate these Terms (or any document incorporated into the Terms), or breach any laws or regulations, or violate any rights of third parties, or expose LinkedIn or its members to legal liability in your use of the APIs.

3. Publicity by You.

Subject to our Branding Guidelines, You may promote your Application, including talking to traditional and online media and your users about your Application, so long as you do so truthfully and without implying that your Application is created or endorsed by LinkedIn (or otherwise embellishing your relationship with LinkedIn). However, you may not issue any formal press release via traditional or online media referring to LinkedIn without LinkedIn’s prior consent, unless expressly allowed in the Branding Guidelines.

4. Publicity by Us.

We may publicly refer to you, orally or in writing, as a licensee of the LinkedIn APIs. We may also publish your name and logo (with or without a link to your Application) on our Website, in press releases, and in promotional materials without your prior consent.

G. Follow The Law and These Terms

You must comply with all applicable laws, including, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and applicable export laws, and these Terms, which may be amended from time to time with or without advance notice, in order to use the LinkedIn APIs. You and your Application must also comply with the following, which are hereby incorporated by reference:

The LinkedIn User Agreement;
The LinkedIn Privacy Policy;
The Platform Guidelines, which are located at the Developer Site; and
The Branding Guidelines.

In the event of any conflict between the content in this document and the above documents, this document controls your use of the APIs. If you disagree with any of the provisions in these Terms, do not click that you agree to them, and do not access or use the APIs.

The most current version of these Terms can be reviewed on the Developer Site. By using the LinkedIn APIs after changes are made to the Terms, you agree to be bound by the most current version. If you disagree with the Terms, or changes to the Terms, you must discontinue your use of the APIs.

If we have entered into a separate, written API License Agreement with you, the terms of that agreement will govern your use of those APIs.

H. Safety and Abuse

A. Security Measures

Your network, operating system and the software of your web servers, databases, and computer systems (collectively, “Systems”) must be properly configured to securely operate your Application. You must not architect or select Systems in a manner to avoid the foregoing obligation. You must promptly report any security deficiencies in or intrusions to your Systems that you discover to LinkedIn in writing via email to support@linkedin.com or subsequent contact information posted in the Developer Site. You will work with LinkedIn to immediately correct any security deficiency, and will disconnect immediately any intrusions or intruder. In the event of any security deficiency or intrusion involving the Application, you will make no public statements (i.e. press, blogs, bulletin boards, etc.) without prior written and express permission from LinkedIn in each instance.

B. Monitoring

You agree to assist LinkedIn in verifying your compliance with these Terms by providing information about your Application to us, which may also include access to your Application and other materials related to your use of the APIs. If you do not demonstrate full compliance with this Agreement, we may restrict or terminate your access to the APIs.

C. Other Legal Terms

A. Rights we reserve.

1. Support and Modifications.

We may provide you with support or modifications for the APIs in our sole discretion. We may stop providing support or modifications to you at any time without notice or liability to you. We may release subsequent versions of the APIs and require that you use those subsequent versions. Your continued use of the APIs following a subsequent release will be deemed your acceptance of modifications.

2. Fees.

The APIs are currently provided for free, but LinkedIn reserves the right to charge for the APIs in the future. If we do charge a fee for use of the APIs or any developer tools and features, you do not have any obligation to continue to use LinkedIn’s developer resources.

3. LinkedIn Independent Development.

You understand and acknowledge that LinkedIn may be independently creating applications, content, and other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with your Application. Nothing in these Terms will be construed as restricting or preventing LinkedIn from creating and fully exploiting any applications, content, and other items, without any obligation to you.

4. Developer Exception to our Privacy Policy.

LinkedIn may reveal personal information about developers for attribution purposes, handling inquiries from users or potential users, and other purposes LinkedIn reasonably deems necessary under these Terms. You understand and agree that LinkedIn may access, preserve, and disclose your personal information and your developer account details if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or to protect the rights, property, or safety of LinkedIn, its affiliates or partners, its users, or the general public.

B. Proprietary Rights.

3. Application.

You represent and warrant to LinkedIn that, excluding LinkedIn Materials, you have the right to use, reproduce, transmit, copy, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute your Application, and that use by LinkedIn and its users of your Application will not violate the rights of any third party (e.g., copyright, patent, trademark, or other proprietary right of any person or entity), or any applicable regulation or law, including the laws of any country in which your Application is made available. Except to the extent your Application contains LinkedIn Materials, LinkedIn claims no ownership or control over your Application. During the term of these Terms you hereby grant to us a paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable right and license, under all of your intellectual property rights, to: (a) use, perform, and display your Application and its content for purposes of marketing, demonstrating, and making your Application available to users; (b) link to and direct users to your Application; and (c) sublicense the foregoing rights to our affiliates.

We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to some or all of the APIs or our Website. All of our rights in these Terms may be exercised without prior notice or liability to you.
