## README

### LinkedIn Article API

Read a public LinkedIn article or newsletter issue by URL, including its full body text, author, publication time, and engagement counts.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "linkedin/article", "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/artificial-intelligence-primer-stephen-dover"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | Public LinkedIn article or newsletter issue URL, e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/your-article-slug. Pair it with the attachmentUrl returned by linkedin.search_posts_full to read the article behind a post. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00569 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
