# LinkedIn Profile Skills

> Names of skills exposed on the logged-out profile. Endorsements and skill-assessment status remain null. Only the visible public section is returned; no complete history or deeper pagination. Empty means not exposed by this response, not none exist. Optional urn and cursor are unsupported.

Names of skills exposed on the logged-out profile. Endorsements and skill-assessment status remain null.

This reads one visible public profile section. It is not a complete history: `complete` is false, `total` and `next_cursor` are null. An empty section means the source did not expose entries, not that the member has none. Only `page=1` is supported; `urn`, `cursor` and deeper pages return 422 before an upstream request. Returned profile identity must match the requested URL.

A fresh nonempty successful call costs **5 SocialQuery credits**. Cache hits, successful idempotent replays and empty results cost zero. Failed requests are refunded. Use `X-Max-Credits: 5` to cap the charge.

Source: [Apify public LinkedIn profile Actor](https://apify.com/lergassy/linkedin-profile-scraper), pinned build 0.1.58. Source access uses limited permissions with one profile, a 40-second execution timeout and a \$0.01 run ceiling. Availability and public sections vary by member.
