What This Skill Does

This skill connects your OpenClaw agent to the LinkdAPI REST API, unlocking 50+ LinkedIn endpoints so your agent can research people, companies, jobs, and content on LinkedIn — in plain language, no code required.

Once installed, just ask your agent naturally. It handles the API calls, pagination, data enrichment, and synthesis for you.
