What you get

Each dataset item is one unique root comment, analysis-ready:

• Comment text, LinkedIn comment URL, ID, and timestamp
• Commenter name, headline, LinkedIn profile URL, image URL, and stable ID when available
• Total replies and the number of top replies included in the record
• Total reactions plus like, praise, empathy, appreciation, interest, and other-reaction counts
• Pinned and edited status
• The post URL, post ID, and reported root-comment count
• Available top replies — text, authors, timestamps, reactions, and URLs — in a nested array

Results are stored in an Apify dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel. The default Comments view is designed for analysis; the flat commenter fields make the same records ready for spreadsheets and CRM workflows.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
post_urls	Array of strings	Yes	—	Add 1–1,000 supported public LinkedIn post URLs. Duplicate URLs are normalized and removed while preserving first-seen order.
max_comments_per_post	Integer	No	100	Maximum deduplicated root comments saved per post. Accepted range: 0–1,000. Use 0 to fetch all available roots, subject to a 100-page safety cap per post. Nested top replies do not count toward this limit.

Supported URL formats:

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7408723748973056001
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/username_topic-activity-7408723748973056001-AbCd
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/username_topic-ugcPost-7408723748973056001-AbCd

Tracking parameters and fragments are removed. A comment-specific URL is normalized to its parent post; targeted single-comment scraping is not supported.

How to use it

1. Copy one or more supported public LinkedIn post URLs.
2. Paste them into LinkedIn Post URLs.
3. Set Maximum comments per post, or keep the default of 100.
4. Click Start.
5. Open the dataset to inspect or export the comment records as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

No LinkedIn account, session cookie, browser extension, or proxy configuration is requested in the input form.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account, cookie, or login?

No. The input requires supported public LinkedIn post URLs. It does not request your LinkedIn credentials or session cookies.

Does the comment limit include replies?

No. max_comments_per_post counts unique root-comment dataset items. Available top replies are nested inside those records and do not count toward the limit.

Does top_replies contain every reply?

Not necessarily. reply_count is the reported total, while top_reply_count is the number of reply objects actually included. Treat top_replies as the available top-reply sample rather than a complete reply-thread guarantee.

What does a limit of zero mean?

max_comments_per_post: 0 requests all available root comments, with a maximum of 100 pages per post. Large discussions can therefore take longer and consume more usage than a bounded run.

Can I process multiple posts in one run?

Yes. Add up to 1,000 supported post URLs. The runtime processes posts in bounded groups while preserving input-post order in the dataset.

Can I scrape one specific comment URL?

No. Comment-specific URLs are normalized to their parent post. The actor extracts root comments from the post according to the configured limit.

Why can post_comment_count differ from the number of dataset rows?

The reported count describes available root comments at the source. Your configured limit, duplicate removal, page cap, unavailable pages, or source changes can result in fewer saved rows.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Open the run's Dataset tab and choose JSON, CSV, Excel, or another Apify-supported export format.

Limits and data notes

• Pagination continues automatically until the requested limit, the end of available pages, or the 100-page safety cap.
• max_comments_per_post is applied after duplicate removal; duplicate root comments keep their first occurrence.
• Results preserve input-post order and source order — the actor does not re-sort comments by timestamp.
• The actor writes a RUN_SUMMARY to the key-value store with per-post status (succeeded, no_results, partial, failed, or capped). If some posts fail, successful rows remain available.
• Works with public posts only. This actor reads only public data and uses no LinkedIn credentials.
• This independent actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn Corporation.

Feedback and support

If a supported public post produces an unexpected result, open an issue from the actor's Issues tab and include the run ID, input URL format, and observed behavior. Do not include credentials or private data.
