LinkedIn Company Posts Scraper & API 📢

Extract posts and updates from any LinkedIn company page — post text, date, reactions count, comments count, and shares count. Track competitor content strategies, monitor brand messaging, analyze engagement, or give your AI agents live company content data.

Pass a company URL or a plain slug (google, microsoft) and get back clean structured JSON with the most recent posts. Run it as a one-off batch job, schedule it, or turn it into a real-time API your apps and AI agents can call.

🍪 How to get LinkedIn cookies

Cookies are required for this Actor — LinkedIn does not expose company posts without authentication. Here's how to export them:

1. Install a cookie-export extension — Cookie-Editor (Chrome/Firefox/Edge) or EditThisCookie work well.
2. Log into LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com in your browser.
3. Open the extension and click Export (choose JSON format). This copies all LinkedIn cookies to your clipboard.
4. Paste the JSON into the cookies input field in this Actor.

Tip: The key cookie is li_at. If you prefer a minimal setup, you can pass just that one:

[{"name": "li_at", "value": "YOUR_LI_AT_VALUE", "domain": ".linkedin.com", "path": "/"}]

Note: Session cookies expire periodically. If you get authentication errors, re-export fresh cookies.

❓ FAQ

Why are cookies required? LinkedIn does not expose company posts through a public/guest API (unlike job listings). The scraper uses LinkedIn's internal Voyager API, which requires an authenticated session.

How do I get LinkedIn cookies? Use a browser extension like "Cookie-Editor" or "EditThisCookie" to export your LinkedIn session cookies as JSON. The key cookie is li_at.

How many posts can I get? Up to ~100 most recent posts per company per request. For historical data beyond that, run multiple times with different date ranges (not currently supported — feature in backlog).

Can my AI agent call this automatically? Yes — run it in Standby mode and connect via the Apify MCP server. Pass cookies in the request body.

Is scraping LinkedIn legal? You are responsible for how you use scraped data. Comply with LinkedIn's terms and applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
