Search by LinkedIn GeoID

For most of the cases, when specifying full location name, the search by the location parameter works fine.
However sometimes search by location may not give you what you expect, as LinkedIn have some other suggested location for your text query. For example, NY returns New Zealand as first match instead of New York; UK returns Ukraine instead of United Kingdom. It is based on LinkedIn autocomplete feature, you can try it in UI: https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?geoUrn=%5B%22103644278%22%5D To make sure the location is correct, you can look up LinkedIn GeoID for a text query. GeoID search is free, it will not count against your quota. 
const apiKey = '<api-key>';

fetch(`https://api.harvest-api.com/linkedin/geo-id-search?search=New York`, {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': apiKey },
})
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((data) => {
    console.log('All matches:', data.elements);
    console.log('Closest match GeoID:', data.id);

    // Search for profiles in New York
    const params = new URLSearchParams({
      geoId: data.id,
      apiKey,
    });
    fetch(`https://api.harvest-api.com/linkedin/profile-search?${params.toString()}`)
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((data) => console.log(data));
  });
