# LinkedIn

> Launch a short-lived LinkedIn browser UI with deterministic built-in data.

Ressl UI clones are interactive browser applications rather than REST API mocks. A snapshot launches an isolated copy of the application and returns a public URL that works until its TTL expires.

It provides a realistic interface for browser agents and evaluations without connecting to the real LinkedIn service.

## What is included

The LinkedIn clone includes deterministic built-in data and supports common browser workflows:

* Browse and react to feed posts
* Manage connections
* Search and save jobs
* Read and send messages
* Review notifications

Actions persist in the browser's local storage for that snapshot URL. Different browser profiles do not share those local changes.

## Create from the console

1. Open [Providers](https://simulation.ressl.ai/providers) in the Ressl console.
2. Find **LinkedIn**.
3. Select a TTL and click **Create snapshot**.
4. Open the returned URL in a browser or browser agent.

## Create with the API

```bash theme={null}
curl -sS -X POST "https://simulation.ressl.ai/providers/linkedin/create-snapshot" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rsk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "ttl": "6h" }'
```

Example response:

```json theme={null}
{
  "snapshotId": "snap_a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678",
  "slug": "linkedin",
  "url": "https://snap_a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678.linkedin.mock.ressl.cc",
  "expiresAt": "2026-07-16T15:27:12.423Z",
  "ttl": "6h"
}
```

Open `url` as a web page. It is not an API base URL.

## Data and configuration

<Warning>
  Custom `seed` and `config` are not supported for UI clones yet. If supplied, both fields are ignored and LinkedIn starts with its built-in deterministic data.
</Warning>

Each new snapshot starts from the same built-in state. Browser actions then persist locally for that snapshot URL.

| URL access        | Public but unguessable                          |
| Data source       | Built-in deterministic data                     |
| Browser mutations | Stored in browser local storage                 |
| Expiration        | The hosted sandbox is removed when its TTL ends |
