hekmon8 LinkedIn Social Data — CLI Skill
Call LinkedIn operations through Vernclaw Connect CLI and return normalized social data for AI agents.
When to Use
- Run LinkedIn research from an agent workflow without managing separate credentials
- Fetch public search, profile, feed, detail, trend, or comment data supported by this connector
- Standardize LinkedIn results into Vernclaw's compact JSON connector envelope
Prerequisites
npm i -g vernclaw-connect-cli
Authentication
Before using this skill, check the CLI authentication state:
vernclaw-cli status
If the CLI is not authenticated, run vernclaw-cli login. For CI/CD or headless agents, generate an API key at vernclaw.com/settings/connectors and run vernclaw-cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY.
Invocation
This connector is currently not available in the offline catalog.
Parameters
| Flag | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--operation |
No | Operation name. Defaults to user_profile when omitted. |
--params |
Yes | JSON object passed to the selected operation. Use '{}' when the operation has no required params. |
Supported Operations
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
user_profile |
Fetch public LinkedIn profile data. |
user_posts |
Fetch public posts for a LinkedIn profile urn. |
search_people |
Search LinkedIn people by name, role, company, school, or location filters. |

Output
invoke prints compact JSON to stdout by default:
{ "status": 200, "data": {} }
Parse the numeric status first, then read data. The CLI returns normalized connector output only. Use --pretty only for human-readable terminal output, not automation. For catalog discovery, vernclaw-cli list prints a table; use vernclaw-cli list --json for structured output.
The data object includes normalized fields such as:
- Platform —
linkedin - Operation — the operation that ran
- Result — normalized object or array returned by the connector
- Items — result rows when the operation returns a list
Execution mode: synchronous.
Workflow
This connector is currently not available in the offline catalog.
Limits
- Only public data supported by this connector is returned.
- Some operations require IDs, URLs, usernames, or pagination fields inside
--params. - Mutating operations require explicit acknowledgement before they run.
