# Scrape LinkedIn Learning course search

> One page of a LinkedIn LEARNING course search, the sixth row kind here: `filters` OR a pasted /search/results/learning/ `url` (that screen, NOT /courses/), exactly one of the two. filters is a REQUIRED keywords plus two closed vocabularies, difficulty and time_to_complete, whose snake_case values the NODE maps onto LinkedIn's own labels, so never send a label yourself; the screen's software and subject facets need the url form. Rows are courses keyed by course_slug (this wire has no numeric id), with a tracking-free /learning/ URL, title, instructor, a normalised duration, the release and viewer lines as printed, and artwork. WARNING, the English dependency is TOTAL, as on groups: the title is read out of the "Save the course X" button label and a card without a readable title is DROPPED, so a non-English executor returns ZERO rows at success. Page on has_more, never on paging.total.

Contract:
- MCP tool `scrape_linkedin_search_courses`, registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_scraping`, mount `linkedin.scraping`.
- Operation `action`, response envelope `action`.
- Flags: none.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/linkedin/openapi.yaml post /api/linkedin-scraping/search-courses
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 'GTM API public contract: gtm.service.linkedin'
  description: >-
    Connected LinkedIn accounts and everything driven through them: account
    health and smart limits, conversations and messages, the connection graph,
    outbound posting, scraping, profile and company enrichment, and the
    antidetect browsers that execute it all.


    GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in
    `product/mcp/gtm.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by
    hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`.


    Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gtm.service.linkedin`, 159
    operations. This is the only OpenAPI document the platform publishes.
    Internal (`/internal`) and health endpoints are deliberately absent: they
    are not part of any contract, they can change without notice, and the
    service source is their only description.


    Conventions:

    - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header.

    - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed
    `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`,
    `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support.

    - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed
    16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once.

    - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward
    `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only.

    - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`)
    travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`.

    - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and
    is not part of this contract.

            Omitted: the service auto-picks one of your connected accounts with

            Ledger replay guard: a repeat call with the same (team, key) returns
            the stored outcome; no re-execution. Recommended on every search
            run. The KEY ALONE decides: the probe does not compare arguments, so
            reusing one key after changing the arguments hands back the FIRST
            result. On the twelve search verbs that matters twice over, because
            switching a call from filters to url (or back) under one key replays
            instead of running the new search. New search, new key.

            a URL from another LinkedIn search screen is refused here and again
            by the backend (422 invalid_search_url), because running it would
            silently scrape the wrong thing. On the url half OUR number wins:

                      anywhere on the wire. A card whose slug cannot be read is
                      dropped rather than returned half-formed, and a repeat of
                      a slug already seen on this page is dropped too.

                      is dropped, so this is never null, which is exactly why a

                      slug, so joining an instructor back to a LinkedIn profile
                      needs a second search.

                      minutes", "1 day and 10 hours"), folds days into hours and
                      re-prints it compactly ("34h 10m", "45m"). It is not the
                      string on the card and not a number of minutes, so parse
                      it if you need arithmetic.

                      the compact form, so there is no honest integer to parse
                      it into.

                      The card's slot on THIS page, 0 based and page local, so
                      it is not a rank across pages. Numbering happens before
                      duplicate slugs are dropped, which can leave gaps. The
                      parser always fills it, so null means the key was missing
                      from the wire row.
