Retrieve contact information (emails and phone numbers) for a LinkedIn profile. You can optionally specify whether to get emails, phone numbers, or both using the enrichment parameters. When both are requested, the system uses a waterfall approach through multiple data sources to maximize the likelihood of finding both types of contact information.
