    LinkedIn API Server Timeout Errors

    We are currently experiencing an issue across the platform that may cause some API requests to take longer or fail unexpectedly with 500 or 503 status code due to server timeout. We are investigating the issue and working on a resolution.

What to do next

  • Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
  • Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
  • Watch the provider going forward. Follow LinkedIn's status feed →

GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
