Crate credify

LinkedIn profile URL validation library.

This crate provides tools to validate LinkedIn profile URLs by checking both format correctness and profile existence through HTTP requests.

Features

• Format validation without network calls
• Profile existence verification
• Async and sync APIs
• Rate limiting awareness

Examples

Basic usage

use credify::{LinkedInValidator, LinkedInUrlError};

let validator = LinkedInValidator::new().expect("Failed to create validator");
match validator.is_valid_linkedin_profile_url("https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe") {
    Ok(_) => println!("Profile exists!"),
    Err(LinkedInUrlError::ProfileNotFound) => println!("Profile not found"),
    Err(LinkedInUrlError::AuthenticationRequired) => println!("LinkedIn requires auth"),
    Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e),
}

Format validation only

use credify::is_valid_linkedin_profile_format;

if is_valid_linkedin_profile_format("https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe") {
    println!("Valid LinkedIn profile URL format");
}

LLM-friendly validation

use credify::validate_for_llm;

let result = validate_for_llm("https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe");
println!("{}", result);
// Parse the structured output for automated decision making
