LinkedIn Applications Platform

Widgets

LinkedIn widgets enhance your site by delivering professional networking capabilities for free. We'll be adding more soon, so check back periodically.

  • Company Insider preview

    Company Insider

    Let your users discover how they are connected to companies on your site. You pass a company name and we’ll show how many people the user knows and a few sample names. This widget works great for news sites and blogs, letting readers connect to people at companies you mention. It also works well on jobs sites where job seekers can see who they know at hiring companies. Use it anywhere to inject professional networking into your site.

  • Share on LinkedIn preview

    Profile

    Show LinkedIn profiles on your blog, website, or application. The Profile widget shows the public profile of anyone in LinkedIn. Use it to show your own profile on your blog or website. Or use it in your business application to show profiles of people. The Profile widget takes a Public Profile URL and shows the public profile for that person. Your users can then click through to see the full LinkedIn profile page, including how they may be related and communication options.

  • Share on LinkedIn preview

    Share on LinkedIn

    Add a Share on LinkedIn link to your website or blog allowing your users to share your content with their LinkedIn connections or networks. This gives your content legs: one user visits your site and can notify literally tens, hundreds, or thousands of others. Works great for news sites, blogs, and other content–rich sites.

Terms of Use

Use of the widgets is subject to express terms of use in the Widget License Agreement. By using a widget, you agree to abide by these terms.
