Is it true that API throttle limits would remain unchanged if I upgraded to a recruiter account?

Hi,

I have a project for a recruiter who wants a periodic report which summarizes the status of job seekers who came through his office in the prior 12 months.

A simple people-search would do the job, but

Given that his recruiting team handles thousands of job placements a year, throttle limits would be hit pretty easily with a monthly status update.

Would upgrading to a Recruiter account resolve the throttle issue?

Thanks

Throttles are set by the application key and not by the member, so the subscription level wouldn't resolve this issue. The open program is not designed to handle this use case - where you search for a large number of users and create a report.

Thanks for your quick reply Kirsten... What do you mean by "open program"?

Rob,
Unless you have a relationship with our Business Development office you are in the Open Developer program.
This is the default level for everyone who signs up as a developer on the LinkedIn Developer site.
Thanks

Hi

How do you contact the Business Development Office at LinkedIn?

Chris,

Here you go...

Please post in the forums if you hear back. Elvis may really still be alive and Santa Claus might be real.

Good luck.

(I am not an employee of LinkedIn)

Hi Chris,

The URL Dave provided is the correct location. As Dave indicated by his apparent (and warranted, honestly) frustration, responses can be slow to non-existant depending on your request. I've requested that team to always provide a yes/no response to every inquiry, but unfortunately that's not possible at this time, mostly due to the large number of inquiries they receive every day. As we have indicated in other places on this forum, treat your form submission like a resume submission to a job. Be as complete and detailed as possible and ensure you make your request sound as compelling as possible and hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones getting a quick response.
