- **Cost:** 1 credit per call. Validation errors, `401`/`402`/`429` rejections and `5xx` failures are free; `not_found` is charged ([how charging works](https://lurkapi.com/docs.md#credits)).
- **MCP tool:** `linkinbio_linktree` on `https://api.lurkapi.com/mcp`
- **Freshness:** responses are cached for up to 1 day
- **Try it live:** https://lurkapi.com/docs/linkinbio/linktree#try (no signup)
- **Platform:** [Link-in-bio](https://lurkapi.com/docs/linkinbio.md) (linktr.ee)
- **Web page:** https://lurkapi.com/docs/linkinbio/linktree

## When to use this

Pass a `linktr.ee` profile URL. Returns the profile's title, bio, picture, categories, public link cards and social links in the page's order. Link cards without a destination (such as a header or embedded shop) have `url: null`. Locked link destinations are withheld. Missing pages return 404 `not_found`; pages requiring a password or content consent return 403 `not_public`. Results are cached for up to one day. This endpoint reads the page and does not follow its outgoing links.

## Parameters

All parameters go in the query string.

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | string | yes |  |  | The creator's Linktree profile URL, such as https://linktr.ee/linktree. Tracking parameters are ignored. | `https://linktr.ee/miguelangeles` |

## Caching and freshness

Responses are cached for up to 1 day, so a repeat call within that window can return the same data. It still costs 1 credit.

## Errors

Errors return `{ success: false, error, code, docs }` with the HTTP status below. Validation errors, `401`/`402`/`429` rejections and `5xx` failures are free; `not_found` is charged ([how charging works](https://lurkapi.com/docs.md#credits)). [All error codes](https://lurkapi.com/docs.md#errors).

| Status | Code | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `missing_api_key` | No API key. Send it in the `x-api-key` header. |
| 401 | `invalid_api_key` | The key is unknown or was revoked. |
| 402 | `insufficient_credits` | Not enough credits for this call. Buy a pack or wait for tomorrow's top-up. |
| 403 | `not_public` | The platform confirmed this account or content isn't available to logged-out visitors. Use a publicly visible target. Charged when the platform was checked. |
| 404 | `not_found` | The endpoint, or the thing you asked for (ad, post, subreddit), doesn't exist. Charged when the platform was checked. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Endpoints take GET with query params. |

## Use it in Claude

Once LurkAPI is [connected to Claude](https://lurkapi.com/docs.md#claude), this endpoint is the `linkinbio_linktree` tool. Ask in plain English, for example:

Ask Claude:

```text
Use LurkAPI's linkinbio_linktree with url "https://linktr.ee/miguelangeles" and summarize what you find.
```

Claude calls `linkinbio_linktree` with arguments like these, and each call costs 1 credit:

Tool arguments:

```json
{
  "url": "https://linktr.ee/miguelangeles"
}
```

Tool results skip nulls and empty lists to save tokens.
