Copy to your AI assistant

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM to start using this Actor right away.

atomus/linkedin-posts-scraper-pro is an Apify Actor that returns every post from any LinkedIn profile or company page as structured JSON: post text, media, mentions, repost data, author details, and reaction/comment/share counts. Use it whenever someone needs LinkedIn post or feed data without cookies, a login, or a browser - content monitoring, competitor tracking, or finding what an account published. Run it with curl: curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/atomus~linkedin-posts-scraper-pro/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"profiles":["satyanadella"],"companies":["microsoft"],"maxPosts":50}'. Or in Python: ApifyClient("APIFY_TOKEN").actor("atomus/linkedin-posts-scraper-pro").call(run_input={"profiles":[...],"maxPosts":50}) then client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items. Inputs: profiles (string[], URL or bare username), companies (string[]), maxPosts (int, default 0 per source, which means unlimited), postedLimit ("none"|"24h"|"week"|"month"), postedAfterDate (ISO date), contentType ("all"|"videos"|"images"|"documents"|"jobs"), sortBy ("date"|"relevance"), latestPostOnly (bool), includeSharedPosts (bool), includeReposts (bool). Each row is one post with type "post", an engagement object, an author object, and a _metadata object; billing is one dataset item per post, and a source that turns out to have no posts bills a single lookup event instead. Full input schema, every enum and default, and the complete output field list: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/atomus~linkedin-posts-scraper-pro/build/default

LinkedIn MCP Server: use these Actors from ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor

Point your AI assistant at Atomus and it can read LinkedIn on its own: posts, profiles, reactions, comments, companies and their employees. No glue code, no scraping logic in your prompts.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atomus": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=atomus/linkedin-posts-scraper-pro,atomus/linkedin-profile-scraper,atomus/linkedin-reactions-scraper-pro,atomus/linkedin-comments-scraper-pro,atomus/linkedin-company-scraper,atomus/linkedin-company-employees,atomus/leads-finder",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Then ask, in plain language:

"Pull the last 30 posts from these six competitor company pages, keep the ones about pricing, and tell me who reacted to the top three."

That one sentence uses two Actors in a row. Pinning the tools= list is what keeps your assistant on these Actors instead of reaching for whatever scraper it finds first.

How to scrape LinkedIn posts

Everything a person has published

{ "profiles": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/"] }

One row per post, newest first, following pagination as far as LinkedIn exposes it.

A batch of profiles and company pages together

{
  "profiles": ["satyanadella", "jeffweiner08"],
  "companies": ["microsoft", "google"],
  "maxPosts": 50
}

Profiles and companies run in the same job, and bare usernames work as well as full URLs. maxPosts is per source, so this run is capped at 200 posts.

Trend monitoring: only what was posted this week

{
  "companies": ["microsoft"],
  "postedLimit": "week",
  "contentType": "videos"
}

postedLimit (24h, week, month) and contentType (videos, images, documents, jobs) narrow the feed before anything is billed, which is what makes a daily or weekly schedule cheap to run.

Original posts only, no reshares

{
  "profiles": ["satyanadella"],
  "includeReposts": false,
  "includeSharedPosts": false
}

includeReposts drops plain reshares (the repost button, no added text). includeSharedPosts drops quote posts (a reshare with the author's own commentary on top). Turn both off when you are analysing someone's own writing rather than what they amplify.

Check for new activity before paying for a full scrape

{
  "profiles": ["satyanadella", "jeffweiner08", "reidhoffman"],
  "latestPostOnly": true
}

latestPostOnly fetches just the most recent post per source. Run it on a schedule, and only fire the full scrape for the accounts that actually moved.

Input

At least one of profiles or companies must be non-empty. Everything else is optional.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
profiles	string[]	one of the two	[]	LinkedIn profile URLs or bare usernames.
companies	string[]	one of the two	[]	LinkedIn company page URLs or bare usernames.
maxPosts	integer	No	0	Max posts per source. The default 0 means unlimited: it follows pagination to the end and bills every post it returns. Set a number to cap it.
postedLimit	string	No	none	Time window: 24h, week, month.
postedAfterDate	string	No	(none)	Only posts after this date. ISO (2026-01-01) or a timestamp.
contentType	string	No	all	videos, images, documents, jobs.
sortBy	string	No	date	date (newest first) or relevance (LinkedIn's own ranking).
latestPostOnly	boolean	No	false	Only the most recent post per source.
includeSharedPosts	boolean	No	true	Include quote posts (reshare + the author's own text).
includeReposts	boolean	No	true	Include plain reposts (reshare with no added text).

Which URLs work

✅ https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/
✅ https://linkedin.com/in/satyanadella
✅ satyanadella
✅ https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/
✅ microsoft

A profile goes in profiles and a company page in companies — the two are different LinkedIn endpoints, so a company URL put in profiles resolves to nothing and comes back as an error row. Prefer the readable /in/<handle> and /company/<slug> forms you can copy from a browser's address bar.

What data does the LinkedIn Posts Scraper return?

One dataset row per post, with type: "post". The dataset is flat: no nesting to walk before you can filter.

Group	Fields
Post	content (full text) · post_url · share_url · posted_at (ISO) · posted_ago (relative) · is_repost
Media	images[] · video_url · article{title,link,description} · doc{title,pdf_url,slide_images[],total_slides}
Engagement	engagement.total_reactions · engagement.comments · engagement.shares · engagement.reactions[{type,count}] with the per-type split (LIKE, PRAISE, EMPATHY, INTEREST, APPRECIATION, ENTERTAINMENT)
Author	author.name · username · headline · linkedinUrl · avatar · linkedin_id · website_url · website_label
Mentions	mentions[{start,length,type,url,name}] — the people and companies tagged inside the text, with their offset in content
Repost	reposted_by{author_name,author_url,post_url,content} on quote posts, null otherwise
Provenance	_metadata.post_id · _metadata.extracted_at · _metadata.source_url (which input produced the row)

Different post types carry different fields, and that is normal LinkedIn behaviour rather than a gap: a text-only post has no images and no video_url; a carousel has doc.slide_images and no images. doc.slide_images holds up to 3 cover previews — doc.pdf_url is the full document.

Example row

{
  "type": "post",
  "author_name": "Satya Nadella",
  "content": "Today at Microsoft Build...",
  "post_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:123/",
  "posted_at": "2026-03-15T14:30:00.000Z",
  "posted_ago": "2 weeks ago",
  "is_repost": false,
  "images": ["https://media.licdn.com/..."],
  "video_url": null,
  "article": null,
  "doc": null,
  "mentions": [
    { "start": 9, "length": 9, "type": "COMPANY_NAME", "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/", "name": "Microsoft" }
  ],
  "engagement": {
    "total_reactions": 15234,
    "comments": 892,
    "shares": 1205,
    "reactions": [{ "type": "LIKE", "count": 10000 }, { "type": "PRAISE", "count": 3000 }]
  },
  "author": {
    "name": "Satya Nadella",
    "username": "satyanadella",
    "headline": "Chairman and CEO at Microsoft",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/",
    "linkedin_id": "ACoAAA8BYqEBCGLg..."
  },
  "reposted_by": null,
  "_metadata": {
    "post_id": "7302346926123798528",
    "extracted_at": "2026-03-30T12:00:00.000Z",
    "source_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/"
  }
}

On a quote post, is_repost is true, content holds the commentary that was added, and reposted_by carries the original author and the original text.

How much does it cost to scrape LinkedIn posts?

$0.002 per post ($2.00 per 1,000). Pay-per-event: one dataset row is one post is one charge.

Posts scraped	Cost
100	$0.20
1,000	$2.00
10,000	$20.00

A source that comes back empty bills $0.005 once. An inactive profile, a company page with nothing published, or a feed where your filters matched nothing still costs a lookup upstream, and that one event covers it. The lookup does the same work whether it returns a full page or nothing, and this is what keeps thin targets worth running instead of refused outright. Requests that fail are free, and a private or deleted source produces no rows.

A run that returns nothing tells you which of those it was, on the run's status message: whether the profile is genuinely inactive, whether your own postedAfterDate or repost settings removed every post that was found (it names how many), or whether the lookup failed on our side. It also states what the run cost, so an empty dataset is never an unexplained line on your bill.

Cap your spend with maxPosts per source, or use latestPostOnly: true — the cheapest possible activity check — before committing to a full scrape.

Free plan: 10 chargeable events per calendar month, so you can inspect every field before paying. The counter resets on the 1st.

FAQ

What is a LinkedIn posts scraper?

A LinkedIn posts scraper turns a profile or company page into a structured feed: every post's text, media, mentions and engagement counts, as JSON rows you can filter, chart or load into a database. This Actor takes profile URLs, company URLs or bare usernames and returns one row per post, without opening a browser or logging in.

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies?

No. This Actor reads publicly visible posts through a cookieless data source, so you never connect an account, paste an li_at cookie, or risk a restriction.

Can I use this from ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes, two ways. Paste the "Copy to your AI assistant" block above into any LLM and it will write the call for you. Or connect the LinkedIn MCP server config above, and every Atomus Actor becomes a native tool your assistant can call on its own, including chaining several in one request.

How many posts can I scrape per profile?

As many as LinkedIn exposes publicly. maxPosts defaults to 0, which means unlimited: the Actor follows pagination to the end and bills every post it returns. On a high-volume account that is a large run, so set maxPosts to a number when you want to bound it.

How much does it cost?

$0.002 per post ($2 per 1,000). A source that comes back with no posts bills a single $0.005 lookup event; failed requests are free. Free Apify plans include 10 chargeable events per month.

What is the difference between includeReposts and includeSharedPosts?

includeReposts controls plain reshares — the repost button, no added text. includeSharedPosts controls quote posts, where the author reshared something and wrote their own commentary on top. Turn both off to keep only original posts.

Can I sort posts by date or relevance?

Yes. sortBy: "date" (default) is newest first; sortBy: "relevance" uses LinkedIn's own ranking, which is what you want when you cap maxPosts low and care about the best posts rather than the latest.

Can I scrape posts from a private profile?

No. Private profiles are not publicly visible, so there is nothing for the Actor to read.

Is there an official LinkedIn API for posts?

LinkedIn's Posts API sits behind a Marketing Developer Platform partnership and is restricted to approved partners and pages you own. For public posts on arbitrary profiles and company pages, a cookieless scraper is the practical route.

Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn posts?

This Actor reads publicly available posts. You are responsible for using the output in line with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA), LinkedIn's terms, and your own compliance requirements. It is an independent tool, not affiliated with LinkedIn.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Apify Schedules run the Actor on a cron interval, and webhooks push each finished run into your own systems. Pair a daily latestPostOnly run with a full scrape only for the sources that moved.

Why are images or video_url missing on some posts?

Different post types expose different fields. A text-only post has neither; a carousel has doc.slide_images instead. This is how LinkedIn works, not a gap in the output.
