Retrieve Prospect Notes

The Prospect Notes API allows you to retrieve notes that were created about prospects on a given Recruiter contract. In order to properly store and associate these notes within your application, you need to first retrieve the LinkedIn ID for the Recruiter seatholders (Seat URN) and the prospects (Prospect URN).

It is recommended to make calls to this API periodically using a batch process. Set the maximum time range to 12 hours per call, or more frequently as needed (for example, every 30 minutes). Please note the timestamps returned are by last updated date and the note status is reflected with "active": true field to make the appropriate deletions during syncs.

All API requests require authorization. Additionally, API requests return paged results. Details on paging through results can be found here .
