linkedin - Inconsistent public-profile-url formats -
when using linkedin api's people-search endpoint, getting inconsistent url formats profiles returned. performed search yesterday, specifying first , last name , requesting public-profile-url, , of results had public profile urls in format:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/***
i performed same search today , received same profiles, public profile urls in format:
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/***
i know they're same profiles because when attempt navigate pub url in browser redirects me /in/ url. understanding /pub/ format had been discontinued, , profiles created /in/ public profile url format.
why public-profile-urls being returned in /pub/ format @ seemingly random times? causing issues application resulting in duplicate accounts in db.
