Request parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | Yes | Linkme profile URL or username, e.g. https://link.me/danucd or danucd. The URL platform must match this endpoint's platform. Do not pass cross-platform URLs, e.g. YouTube to TikTok, Instagram to Facebook, LinkedIn to X/Twitter, or Pinterest to Rumble. |
| cache | boolean | No | Set true to serve from the response cache (default TTL). Default false — always fetch fresh. Prefer cacheMaxAge when you need 1d–30d freshness control. Envelope includes cached + cachedAt on hits. |
| cacheMaxAge | string | No | Max age of a cached response: 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d. When set, enables caching with that TTL (SC cache_max_age). Envelope: cached + cachedAt. |
Frequently asked questions
What does the Linkme Profile API do?
The Linkme Profile API lets you fetch profile or page details and audience stats from a public Linkme profile or page using one GET request to /v1/linkme/profile. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.
How many credits does the Linkme Profile API cost?
Each successful call costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Hits include cached + cachedAt. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Failed or empty results are never charged.
Do I need a Linkme API key or OAuth?
No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.
Why did Linkme used to return Privacy Policy and Terms as links?
An older HTML scrape read the SSR shell meta tags and site footer. We now parse Linkme's dehydrated TanStack $tsr profile (same payload SC uses): bio, profileVisitCount, featured links[], webLinks[], infoLinks/email, stripeStatus, and isDefaultProfilePicture. Footer chrome is never returned. Flat 1 credit.
Is the Linkme Profile API suitable for production use?
Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Hits include cached + cachedAt. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
