LinkedIn Job Details API

GET   /api/v1/search?engine=linkedin_job_details

The LinkedIn Job Details API returns one LinkedIn job by its id. On top of the title, company, location and posting time returned by the LinkedIn Jobs API, it returns the full description, pay range, seniority level, employment type, industries, featured benefits, the applicant count, whether the job takes Easy Apply and the person who posted the job.

applicants is the number of applicants LinkedIn shows. When LinkedIn shows a range instead of a number, applicants_range is under_25 or over_200. When LinkedIn shows Not Applicable as the seniority level, seniority_level is left out.

salary is the pay range LinkedIn shows, such as $54.00/hr - $84.00/hr. featured_benefits lists the benefits LinkedIn infers from the job description. job_poster holds the name, headline, profile link and photo of the person who posted the job.
