# SHAI — LinkedIn

> LinkedIn's developer platform: self-service Open Permissions (sign-in, the user's own posting/commenting/liking) plus gated Marketing/Community-Management APIs. Confirmed live 2026-09-08: does not send connection requests, does not send member-to-member DMs, does not search arbitrary member profiles. SNAP (Sales Navigator partner program) is closed to new partners.

## How SHAI connects to it
SHAI talks to it directly, with the key you paste. It is one of the tools SHAI has written up — what it costs, why it matters, what breaks without it — as `linkedin` in the tool guide.

## What it needs
a key you paste, in Setup or on /connections.

## Where that was read
docs/tools/tools.json (linkedin), verified 2026-09-16.
