Get started with We-Link API by creating an account, testing your API credits, setting up webhooks, and purchasing additional usage blocks.
We-Link API gives you the power to embed LinkedIn outreach directly into your own platform or product – whether you're adding new functionality for users, expanding your SaaS offering, or building a whole new revenue stream.
This works through APIs (application programming interfaces), which let your product trigger LinkedIn actions programmatically – like sending connection requests, syncing messages, or pulling profile data. Alongside that, webhooks let your system listen for real-time updates (like when someone replies to a message) and respond instantly.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up your account.
Step 1: Create a We-Link API account
You can sign up for a We-Link API account here.
You’ll be asked to verify your email, provide company details, and share projected usage so our team can better support your goals.
Step 2: Wait for approval and set a password
Once submitted, our team will review your request and reach out within 48 hours to schedule a quick onboarding call. After you're approved, you’ll receive an email with a link to set your password and activate your account.
Step 3: Log in to the We-Link API dashboard
Once your password is set, log in to explore your API workspace and begin testing functionality.
Step 4: Test your API credits
You’ll automatically receive 100 free API credits to test endpoints.
Before testing, you’ll need to:
Generate your API key and secret key
Set up your webhooks to receive events like message replies or connection confirmations
Step 5: Click "Upgrade Today" in the Billing page
When you're ready to go live, head to the Billing tab in your dashboard and click Upgrade today.
Step 6: Choose a credit package
Credits are available in blocks of 100,000 for $490, and each block is valid for 12 months.
You can also set up auto top-up to automatically purchase more credits when your balance drops below a certain number. Just set your threshold and choose how many credits you'd like to add.
Step 7: Add your Billing information
Enter your payment details to complete your purchase. Once your transaction is confirmed, your new credits will be added to your account and available for immediate use.
