LinkedIn Public Posts Search Scraper

Search public LinkedIn posts by keyword without login or cookies. The Actor is limited to public pages and does not access authenticated profiles. When LinkedIn gates its native content-search page, the Actor falls back to discovering indexed linkedin.com/posts URLs through Yahoo Search.

Post page hydration (enrichPostPage)

After discovery, the Actor can open each public post URL and merge richer fields from guest-visible HTML (especially schema.org SocialMediaPosting / articleBody):

• full content / contentFull (snippet kept as contentSnippet)
• postedAt / engagement when present
• authorName when present on the public page
• metadata.hydrated / metadata.hydrateError

Set enrichPostPage: false to skip hydration (faster, snippet-only Yahoo rows). Default is true. Hydration is best-effort: login walls or empty shells still emit the discovery row.

Author publicIdentifier / profileUrl are always filled from the post URL when possible, even without hydration.

Input

Use the reference Actor fields keyword, sort_type, page_number, date_filter, limit, enrichPostPage, and the optional URN/job-title filters. startUrls and the legacy aliases searchTerms, sort, and maxItems are also accepted.

Output

Each row exposes the reference LinkedIn fields (postId, postUrl, authorName, authorProfileUrl, authorHeadline, postedAt, content, mediaType, reactionsCount, commentsCount, and searchKeyword) plus provenance (contentSnippet, contentSource, contentTruncated, nested author, metadata).

Add an APIFY_API_TOKEN repository secret. The GitHub Actions workflow runs tests and publishes the Actor on pushes to main or master.
