# LinkdAPI Python SDK

Python SDK for LinkdAPI — professional profile and company data from LinkedIn with enterprise-grade reliability.

> **Get your API key:** https://linkdapi.com/signup?ref=K_CZJSWF

## Quick Start Pattern

Use the **uv script pattern** for ephemeral Python scripts with inline dependencies:

```python
# /// script
# dependencies = [
#     "linkdapi",
# ]
# ///

from linkdapi import LinkdAPI

client = LinkdAPI("YOUR_API_KEY")
profile = client.get_profile_overview("ryanroslansky")
print(profile)
```

Run with:
```bash
uv run script.py
```

This installs dependencies automatically, runs the script, and cleans up — perfect for one-off tasks.

## Why This Pattern

- **No global installs**: Dependencies are managed per-script
- **Ephemeral by design**: Write, run, delete — no cleanup needed
- **Reproducible**: Everything needed is in one file
- **Fast**: uv handles dependency resolution and caching

## Writing Scripts

### Script Header Format

Always start with the uv script block:

```python
# /// script
# dependencies = [
#     "linkdapi",
#     # Add more if needed (e.g., "rich", "pandas")
# ]
# ///
```

### Common Tasks

**Get profile overview:**
```python
# /// script
# dependencies = ["linkdapi"]
# ///

from linkdapi import LinkdAPI

client = LinkdAPI("YOUR_API_KEY")
profile = client.get_profile_overview("ryanroslansky")

if profile.get('success'):
    data = profile['data']
    print(f"{data['fullName']} - {data.get('headline', '')}")
    print(f"Location: {data.get('location')}")
```

**Get company info:**
```python
# /// script
# dependencies = ["linkdapi"]
# ///

from linkdapi import LinkdAPI

client = LinkdAPI("YOU
