Retrieve a LinkedIn contact’s name from a profile URL with LinkUp

Summary This workflow retrieves a LinkedIn contact’s full name from their profile URL using the [LinkUp](https://www.linkup.so) AI Search API. It’s a lightweight alternative to web scraping or complex APIs — integrating neatly into your existing n8n automations.

How it works - The workflow reads LinkedIn URLs from a Data Table. - Each URL is sent to LinkUp via an HTTP Request node using natural language. - LinkUp returns the corresponding contact name. - The Data Table is automatically updated with the retrieved name.

How to use 1. Create a Data Table named LinkedInURL with two fields: - url (String) - name (String) 2. Add one or more LinkedIn profile URLs, for example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaneheckel/ 3. Store your LinkUp API key in the Settings component. You can get one at [https://app.linkup.so/api-keys](https://app.linkup.so/api-keys). 4. Run the workflow. The name field will populate with the correct LinkedIn names.

Requirements - LinkUp account - n8n version: tested on 1.122.4 (Ubuntu)
