LinkedIn Search Posts Scraper

Search for LinkedIn posts by keyword. Returns post content, author information, engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares, reactions), and attached content entities (images, articles, videos, job listings). Includes a has_content_entities flag, true when the post has an attached image, article, video, or job. Results can be sorted by most recent or relevance, and limited to posts from the past 24 hours, week, or month.

Features

• Real-time LinkedIn data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Pricing

This Actor is billed per run — a flat $0.006 per run.

• One run returns all matching results for your input, and costs $0.006 — whether it comes back with one result or hundreds.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds, or when it fails because what you asked for was looked up and doesn’t exist, is private, or isn’t valid: that costs one run ($0.006). Other failed runs are free.
