API Reference/Endpoints

Edit a message

PATCH/api/linkedin/gateway/messages/{message_id}

Replaces the text of a message you've already sent — on a media message this rewrites its caption instead, when the provider supports that.

Providers only allow edits for a short window after sending: LinkedIn Classic messaging cuts it off around 60 minutes, WhatsApp around 15. Calls made after that window will fail even though the request itself is well-formed.

Authentication

Send your personal API key as a bearer token. A missing, malformed or revoked key returns 401.
