# Extract LinkedIn People Async
> Extract detailed LinkedIn profile information asynchronously. Results are delivered via callback.
To run LinkedIn actions, you must first create an identity and connect a LinkedIn
account, either using our [Chrome
Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/edges-labs/bippgnolleoecnhaninlfmdapbakklpf),
[username/password login](/v1/api/linkedin/authentication), or [Managed
Accounts](/v1/identities/sync-vs-managed) for a hassle-free setup.
**Fields deprecated** — The following output fields may be omitted or `null`:
* `birth_date`
* `linkedin_thread_id`
* `connected_at`
When enabled, returns the first **5 companies' experiences** (count varies by profile). For full work history, use [`linkedin-extract-people-experiences`](/v1/api/actions/linkedin-extract-people-experiences).
| Field | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `date` | Employment date ranges only — e.g. `Sep 2024 - Present`, `Sep 2005 - Aug 2008` |
| `title` | Job title |
| `company_name` | Company name |
When enabled, returns **one or two skills** (varies by profile). For full skills list, use [`linkedin-extract-people-skills`](/v1/api/actions/linkedin-extract-people-skills).
When enabled, returns optional profile sections:
`education` · `languages` · `volunteer_experiences` · `summary` · `company_name` · `job_title` · `linkedin_company_url`
**Education fields** (when `education` is included):
| Field | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `title` | `degreeName` + `fieldOfStudy` (e.g. `Bachelor of Science, Computer Science`) |
| `degree_name` | First part of `title` when comma-separated; otherwise empty |
| `field_of_study` | Second part of `title` when comma-separated; otherwise empty |
When enabled, returns:
`linkedin_company_url` · `connection_degree` · `number_followers` · `number_connections`
**`profile_country`** — Inferred from recent experience locations when LinkedIn does not expose it directly. Remote and hybrid locations are excluded.
**Callback Delivery**: Both `async` and `schedule` modes deliver results via the callback URL provided in your request.
**Consistent Format**: All execution modes use the same action logic, so inputs and results are identical regardless of mode.
**Error Handling**: Errors follow the [standard API error format](/v1/faq-troubleshooting#troubleshooting-errors).
Using `async` and `schedule` modes, you have to implement some kind of callback management. Be sure to check the [Managing Callbacks](/v1/runs/callbacks) guide to better understand how it works and what your can do.
