Context
What this means for LinkedIn
LinkedIn had RSS feeds for profiles and activity streams in the early 2010s, but shut them down in 2013 along with the broader API lockdown. No public RSS has existed since. Third-party services that claim to offer LinkedIn RSS feeds rely on scraping or on authenticated API keys. They work until LinkedIn's next API change and are frequently blocked.
Why LinkedIn has no RSS
LinkedIn shut down its RSS feeds in 2013 alongside a broader API lockdown. The platform has not signalled a return, and its current direction (paid Marketing API access, partner-only data programs) makes public RSS unlikely.
What does not work
- No official RSS endpoint for profiles, companies, or Pulse posts
- Scraping LinkedIn violates its terms of service
- Newsletter content is available only through the LinkedIn UI, not through public RSS
- Authenticated API access is restricted to partner programs and is not available to the general public
Gotchas
Common mistakes
- Watch for this: Treating LinkedIn newsletters like Substack, they look similar but have no public RSS feed
- Watch for this: Using third-party RSS-scraping services for production imports, they break often and risk account-level blocks
- Watch for this: Expecting the RSS URL for a Pulse article, none exists

Why did LinkedIn remove RSS?
LinkedIn removed RSS along with most public API access in 2013 to tighten control over how data left the platform. The company has not commented on restoring it.
Are there third-party RSS feeds for LinkedIn?
Several scraping services advertise LinkedIn RSS feeds. They work until LinkedIn's next change and violate LinkedIn's terms of service. They are not a reliable production option.

No. LinkedIn newsletters look similar to Substack but have no public RSS endpoint. Subscribers receive them only via email and the LinkedIn UI.
How do I get LinkedIn content into WordPress then?
Publish your own content on WordPress first and cross-post to LinkedIn manually. For third-party content, rely on the publisher's original blog or platform feed rather than their LinkedIn mirror.
