Predictive text searches
"I have an application that requires predictive text location search functionality. When the user starts typing it needs to be able to pull through the locations in real time. Each returned result needs to contain any or all variations for the entered location name, it also needs to return the associated geourn code"
To achieve this functionality you could call the following get request
https://linkedin-geourn-codes1.p.rapidapi.com/api/Location?id=manchester
The output response:
{
"responseType": "Success",
"locationList": [
{
"id": 47447,
"location": "Manchester,Kentucky,United States",
"geoUrn": 104846079,
"count": 34872
},
{
"id": 47449,
"location": "Manchester,England,United Kingdom",
"geoUrn": 104116710,
"count": 327898
},
{
"id": 519525,
"location": "Manchester,New Hampshire,United States",
"geoUrn": 104439903,
"count": 0
},
{
"id": 519565,
"location": "Manchester,Manchester,Jamaica",
"geoUrn": 103929143,
"count": 0
}
],
"count": 4,
"message": "We found 4 locations, the max we will return per request is 7"
}
LinkedIn link conversion
"I want to be able to take a LinkedIn search and parse the location id's into real name equivalents."
Your software can parse the id directly from the link.
The geourn code can then be passed into the location api
https://linkedin-geourn-codes1.p.rapidapi.com/api/Location?id=102943586
The output response is able to return the exact location.
{
"responseType": "Success",
"locationList": [
{
"id": 43748,
"location": "Leeds,England,United Kingdom",
"geoUrn": 102943586,
"count": 107685
}
],
"count": 0,
"message": "We found 1 locations, the max we will return per request is 7"
}
Heads Up! Credit Usage
Location API calls cost the number of requests results used.
We will cap the results per request to 7.
