What this Actor does

Give it the LinkedIn profiles you care about — dream-account executives, prospects, investors, partners. The Actor remembers every post it has already seen and returns only the posts published since the last run.

Social selling converts when you show up early. This Actor makes "early" automatic: schedule it daily and it hands you exactly the posts that are new, with the author, the text, the publish time, and current engagement.

It uses public data only, requires no cookies and no login, and never repeats a post.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
profile_urls	string[]	Yes	LinkedIn profile URLs to watch for new posts
state_key	string	No	Namespaces the seen-history. Use one key per watchlist (default default)
max_posts_per_profile	integer	No	How many recent posts to check per profile, 1–50 (default 10)

Example:

{
  "profile_urls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-executive-1",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-executive-2"
  ],
  "state_key": "dream-accounts",
  "max_posts_per_profile": 10
}

How to use it

1. Paste the profiles you want to watch.
2. Set a state_key for this watchlist.
3. Click Start. The first run returns each profile's recent posts flagged isFirstRun: true.
4. Schedule it daily. Every later run returns only the posts published since the previous run.

Output

One row per new post:

{
  "schemaVersion": "1.0",
  "checkedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00",
  "stateKey": "dream-accounts",
  "authorProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-executive-1",
  "authorName": "Example Executive",
  "postUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/example_activity-123-X/",
  "postText": "Public post text (truncated)",
  "postedAt": "2026-09-24T09:00:00+00:00",
  "reactions": 412,
  "comments": 37,
  "engagementTotal": 449,
  "isFirstRun": false,
  "collectedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00"
}

The OUTPUT key-value-store record reports profiles monitored, new posts, and whether the run was empty.

Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.02
New post	$0.03

You pay only for posts returned. A daily run over 50 quiet executives can cost just the start fee.

Common uses

• First-comment advantage — comment within minutes of a target's post.
• Executive engagement — stay top-of-mind with the people who matter to a deal.
• Competitive watching — see what a rival's leadership is saying, as they say it.
• Investor and partner tracking — never miss a signal from a relationship you care about.

Limits

• Only public posts are read.
• The first run for a profile returns its recent posts flagged isFirstRun: true; later runs return only new ones.
• Seen-history is capped per profile (the most recent 200 posts), so a very long gap may re-surface an old post.
• A profile with no public posts produces no rows.

Automation

Run from the Apify API, schedules, or webhooks. Download the same dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Do I need cookies or a LinkedIn login? No. This Actor reads public data only - no cookies, no account, no browser automation.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or via a webhook, and export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.
