get_profile_analytics

Returns a connected profile’s followers, following, post count and — where the network reports it — views or page views, with the raw figures under the platform’s own names. Nothing reads the networks on its own: without refresh the call returns what the last reading stored, free, and says when it was read or that it never has been. With refresh it reads the network now, which costs one credit. LinkedIn only answers for organization pages (unavailable: true on a personal profile); an error mentioning reconnecting means the account was connected before the insights permission existed and its owner must reconnect it. Readings are never added up across profiles — each is a snapshot taken when someone asked.
