# Get People Licenses & Certifications

> Retrieve licenses and certifications from a LinkedIn profile.

<Info>
  This endpoint allows you to retrieve a person's licenses and certifications.

  **Credit Cost:** 1 credit per request + 0.05 credits per result. A full page
  of 20 results typically consumes 2 credits (1 + 20 × 0.05).
</Info>

Provide either a LinkedIn profile URL or a Captain Data people UID.

<Warning>
  You must provide at least one of `li_profile_url` or `people_uid`.
</Warning>

<Info>
  `X-Pagination-Next` and `X-Pagination-Previous` headers may be included in
  the response to provide full URLs for the next or previous pages. **Always use
  these URLs as-is** — they contain the cursor needed for pagination. Cursors
  expire after **24 hours**; if expired, restart pagination from the beginning.
</Info>
