post_id	string	Numeric LinkedIn post ID stored as a string to prevent precision loss.
reaction_urn	string or null	Derived LinkedIn reaction URN when the required identifiers are available.
reaction_type	string	LIKE, PRAISE, EMPATHY, APPRECIATION, INTEREST, or ENTERTAINMENT.
reactor_entity_type	string	person, company, or unknown.
reactor_name	string or null	Display name returned for the reactor.
reactor_headline	string or null	LinkedIn headline or position when available.
reactor_linkedin_url	string or null	LinkedIn URL returned for the person or company.
reactor_id	string or null	Encoded LinkedIn profile or company identifier.
reactor_image_url	string or null	Valid media image URL when available.
input_index	integer	Zero-based position of the post URL in the normalized input.
reaction_index	integer	Zero-based reaction order for that post after filtering and deduplication.
fetched_at	string	UTC retrieval timestamp in ISO 8601 format.

All fields are always present. Unavailable optional values are null in JSON and empty cells in CSV.

Input

Field	Required	Default	Description
post_urls	Yes	—	Add 1–1,000 LinkedIn post URLs. Supported formats include /posts/...-activity-..., /posts/...-ugcPost-..., and /feed/update/urn:li:activity:.... Comment URLs are not supported.
max_reactions_per_post	No	100	Maximum matching reactions saved per post. Use 0 to request all available reactions, with a 100-page safety cap.
reaction_types	No	["ALL"]	Keep every supported reaction type or select one or more specific types.

Filters are applied before max_reactions_per_post, so the maximum counts matching saved reactions rather than discarded reaction types.

How to use it

1. Add one or more public LinkedIn post URLs under LinkedIn Post URLs.
2. Keep the default maximum of 100 reactions per post or choose another limit.
3. Keep All reaction types or select the reactions you need.
4. Click Start and open the Dataset tab when the run finishes.

The maximum is an upper bound, not a guaranteed result count. The actor stops when it reaches your limit or when the available source reactions are exhausted.

Use cases

• Build a list of people who engaged with a campaign, announcement, or thought-leadership post
• Compare reaction types across posts for audience and content analysis
• Research public engagement on industry, company, or competitor posts
• Export reactor data to spreadsheets, CRM workflows, dashboards, or enrichment pipelines
• Monitor selected posts on a schedule and compare reaction datasets over time
• Feed structured LinkedIn reaction data into internal tools, AI agents, or analytics systems

Pricing

This actor charges per reaction result saved (pay-per-event). The current price per result is shown on the actor's Pricing tab — there is no subscription and no minimum. Use max_reactions_per_post to cap exactly how many reactions a run can request per post.

FAQ

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

No. The input contains only post URLs and optional result controls. The actor does not ask for LinkedIn credentials or session cookies.

Can I process multiple LinkedIn posts in one run?

Yes. Add up to 1,000 supported post URLs to post_urls. Duplicate normalized URLs are removed before processing.

Can I filter by reaction type?

Yes. Choose Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, Funny, or all supported reaction types. Multiple specific types can be selected.

Does the actor return every reaction on a post?

Not necessarily. It returns the reactions exposed by the source until the selected maximum or source exhaustion is reached. The maximum is not a completeness guarantee.

Why is reactor_image_url sometimes null?

The field is kept only when the source returns a valid media image URL. A LinkedIn profile page is not an image, so it is intentionally converted to null rather than mislabeled.

Can I export reactions to CSV or Excel?

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

What happens if one URL fails in a batch?

The actor continues with the remaining URLs. Check the RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store for the status, counts, and safe error details for every input URL.

Does it scrape reactions on LinkedIn comments?

No. This actor accepts supported LinkedIn post URLs only; comment URLs are rejected.

Limits and data notes

• The actor extracts reactions available through its public-data source. It cannot guarantee every reaction visible on LinkedIn.
• max_reactions_per_post is an upper bound. A post may return fewer reactions when the source is exhausted or exposes fewer records.
• Public, deleted, restricted, private, or region-limited posts can return no results or an error.
• Encoded LinkedIn profile URLs may be returned instead of vanity profile URLs.
• This actor does not open or enrich individual LinkedIn profiles — it returns reaction-level data only.
• Reactions are deduplicated by post ID and reactor ID and emitted in normalized input order, then source order.
• A value of 0 for max_reactions_per_post requests all available pages with a 100-page safety cap per post.
• This independent actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn Corporation.

Feedback and support

Use the actor's Issues tab for bug reports, questions, or feature requests. Include the run ID, a non-sensitive example input, the expected result, and what happened.
