Get one LinkedIn group
Fetch one group: its name, members, description, rules, when it was made and whether its posts are public. Its posts, by group_url on linkedin/posts, are not available yet.
https://api.scrapefield.com/v1/linkedin/grouphttps://api.scrapefield.com/v1/linkedin/group?id=1976445In your code
const params = new URLSearchParams({
"id": "1976445"
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.scrapefield.com/v1/linkedin/group?${params}`, {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SCRAPEFIELD_KEY}` },
});
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
console.log(data, meta.credits_charged);Parameters
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
url | The group's URL: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/<id>/. |
id | The number in the group's URL. |
fresh | Skip the cache and fetch now. Charged normally. Not available on trial credits — buy any pack to unlock it. default false |
Response
Returns one linkedin_group. This is the demo’s answer, the one the playground above returns, in full rather than abbreviated — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them. A call with your key returns the account you ask for.

|---|---|
group_id | LinkedIn's numeric id for the group. |
url | The group. |
name | The group's name. |
member_count | How many members. null where LinkedIn prints a rounded number, such as "12K members". |
description | The About text. In a search, the short summary. |

What it costs
7 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 1 day and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.
On the smallest pack that is $5.46 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $3.08. The full table.
Questions
How much does the LinkedIn group API cost?
7 credits a call: $5.46 per 1,000 calls on the smallest pack and $3.08 on the largest. A call that fails costs nothing, and the refund is automatic. A cached answer costs the same as a fresh one. Credits are bought in packs and never expire; there is no subscription.
Do I need a LinkedIn account, a login or cookies?
No. You need a key from us and nothing from LinkedIn. We never take a customer's login, cookies or session, at any price, and no account of yours is ever at risk.
Can I try it without signing up?
Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.
How fresh is the data?
An answer is kept for up to 1 day, and a cached one says when it was fetched, in meta.fetched_at. Add fresh=true to fetch it again now, at the same price; it needs any purchase, not the trial.
What does it return?
One linkedin_group object. Its fields are named after the words LinkedIn prints, since LinkedIn has no official data API. A field is null when LinkedIn does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.
Can an AI agent call it?
Yes: it is the MCP tool get_linkedin_group on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.
