get_profile 4 credits

Fetch one person's LinkedIn profile. identifier accepts a profile URL, the slug after /in/ (e.g. 'williamhgates'), or a urn:li:fsd_profile URN; URLs are cleaned automatically. Always returns the overview (name, headline, location, current position, follower counts) plus up to 2 requested sections from about|experience|education|skills at no extra cost; each section beyond 2 adds 2 credits (max 4 sections). Costs 4 credits base. If you only have a name, use search_people first; this tool does not search. Results from search_people with is_anonymous=true cannot be fetched here; treat them as 'someone matching this exists' and stop. Companies belong to get_company.
