# LinkedIn Actions Data Changes

> Understanding changes to available fields in LinkedIn actions, including deprecated fields and workarounds.

This page documents changes to available fields in LinkedIn actions when migrating to Edges. These changes are primarily due to LinkedIn's API updates and deprecations, not regressions in Edges.

<Info>
  **Why these changes?** LinkedIn updated its API endpoints, which required us to rebuild automations in Edges. As part of this update, certain fields that were previously available (often hidden fields not visible in LinkedIn's UI) have been removed or deprecated.

## Extract LinkedIn People Profile

### Missing Company Fields in Experiences

**Affected Fields:**

* `company_employees_range`
* `company_industry`

**Context:**

Previously, the action **Extract LinkedIn People Profile** returned fields like `company_employees_range` and `company_industry` inside experiences.

In Edges, these fields are no longer available.

**Why the change?**

* LinkedIn updated its **API endpoints**, which required us to **rebuild the People Profile automation** in Edges.
* As part of this update, certain fields — including `company_employees_range` and `company_industry` — were removed from the People endpoint.
* These data points were **never visible in the LinkedIn UI** (they were hidden fields), which is why LinkedIn decided to deprecate them.

**Current situation:**

* Previously, you may still occasionally see these fields.
* However, LinkedIn is **gradually deprecating the old endpoint**.
* This means results will become unreliable (returning `null`), and there is a risk of LinkedIn treating these endpoints as **honeypots** (risky to use).

**Workaround:**

If you need **company size or industry information**, you should use the **Company Profile Enrichment** action instead:

👉 [Extract LinkedIn Company](/v1/api/actions/linkedin-extract-company)

This action is the reliable way to retrieve those fields going forward.
