It also has the name, bio, picture and verified badge, the @name under the picture (usually the Instagram username), the place a map block shows, the account's own domain and how many links the list holds.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
Null means unknown
A field Lnk.Bio doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
The Lnk.Bio page: its name (msjennafischer, with or without the @) or its link (https://lnk.bio/msjennafischer).
Write one parser
Lnk.Bio, TikTok, Instagram and 24 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring- Platform-native account ID (string; YouTube UC…, Reddit t2_…).
usernamestring- Handle without the @; null when the account has none.
display_namestring- Display name, channel title or page name; null when empty or not exposed.
urlstring- Canonical profile URL.
typestring- Coarse account kind, as the platform labels it; unknown when it does not (TikTok labels organizations only). New values may be added; treat unknown values as unknown.
biostring- Profile bio, channel description or page about text; null when empty or not exposed.
avatar_urlstring- Profile picture URL (largest available). Platform CDN URLs can expire within hours.
Live data from 33 platforms.

Collect the emails and phone numbers creators list
Find a creator's own domain and websites
Audit every link in a long link list
Good to know before you build.
- username is the name in the page's lnk.bio link. platform_specific.linkbio.linked_username is the @name under the picture, usually the Instagram username, and the two can differ.
- external_links holds every web link on the page once, in page order: the name's link, the icons, the buttons and the link list, then links in the bio and embedded players and posts. Emails and phones are in platform_specific.linkbio.emails and phones.
- A very long link list, or one Lnk.Bio stops serving midway, may be read in part. external_links is then in approximate_fields, and platform_specific.linkbio.link_count still says how many links the list holds.
- Now and then a page leaves out its main link list. external_links is then what the page does show, listed in approximate_fields (unknown_fields when it is empty), and link_count is null.
- display_name is the page's name line, else the page title the account set, else null: most pages show only an @name.
- location is the place a map block on the page shows, as the account wrote it.
- type is unknown, and banner_url, category, country_code, created_at and the metrics are null: Lnk.Bio doesn't show them.
- is_private is true only for a page that asks for a password. A single link with a password is returned like any other, and a link that opens a menu of destinations is returned as its main one.
- A name no account has, or one that reaches a page of Lnk.Bio's own, returns not_found. A few names Lnk.Bio took back from their accounts return private_or_unavailable.
