LinkedIn Post Engagement Scraper - No Cookies, No Login

Get everyone who engaged with a LinkedIn post — the people who reacted and the people who commented — as one clean, deduplicated lead list. No LinkedIn login, no account connection, no cookies to paste. Just drop in post links and run.

Why this Actor

Most tools make you buy two separate scrapers — one for likers, one for commenters — then merge and deduplicate the results yourself.

This Actor returns both in a single run, already merged. If someone both liked and commented on a post, you get one row for that person showing both actions — not two rows you have to reconcile.

And because it runs without any LinkedIn credentials from you, your own LinkedIn account is never involved and never at risk. There is nothing to connect, nothing to paste, and nothing to keep logged in.

What you get

For every person who engaged:

• Name and headline — who they are and what they do
• Profile URL — go straight to their profile
• Profile picture and whether it's a person or a company page
• How they engaged — reacted, commented, or both
• Which reaction they gave (like, celebrate, support, …)
• Their comment text and when they posted it
• The post they engaged with, plus its author

Input

Field	Description
Post URLs (required)	One or more LinkedIn posts. Paste normal post links, lnkd.in short links, urn:li:activity:… IDs, or post IDs — all work.
Engagement types	Collect Reactions (likers), Comments (commenters), or both. Default: both.
Max engagers per post	Cap the results per post, counted across both types. Use 0 for no limit. Default 200.
Include comment replies	Also collect people who replied to comments. Finds more leads; takes longer.
Deduplicate people	On by default — one row per person per post. Turn off to get one row per individual action.

Example input

{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7491138591868469248/"
  ],
  "engagementTypes": ["reactions", "comments"],
  "maxItemsPerPost": 50,
  "dedupePeople": true
}

Output

Each engager is one dataset item — export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull it via the API:

{
  "postUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7491138591868469248/",
  "postAuthorName": "Jane Doe",
  "engagementTypes": ["reaction", "comment"],
  "reactionValue": "LIKE",
  "commentText": "Great post — this matches what we're seeing too.",
  "commentedAt": "2026-07-01T12:00:00Z",
  "commentReplyCount": 2,
  "isCommentReply": false,
  "person": {
    "name": "John Smith",
    "headline": "VP Engineering @ Acme",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-smith",
    "publicIdentifier": "john-smith",
    "pictureUrl": "https://media.licdn.com/…",
    "type": "individual"
  }
}

A note on timestamps: LinkedIn provides a time for comments but not for reactions, so commentedAt is empty on rows where the person only reacted. We leave it empty rather than showing a made-up time.

How to scrape LinkedIn post comments and reactions

Paste the post URL into Post URLs, leave Engagement types on both, and run. That's the whole setup — there is no login step, no cookie to extract from your browser, and no account to connect.

How to get only the commenters (or only the likers)

Set Engagement types to just Comments (commenters) or just Reactions (likers). Everything else stays the same, and you only pay for the rows you actually get back.

How to scrape engagement from many posts at once

Post URLs takes a list, so paste as many posts as you like in one run. Each row records which post it came from in postUrl, so a single export can cover an entire campaign, a competitor's month of content, or every post from an event hashtag.

How to turn a topic into a lead list

Run our LinkedIn Post Scraper to find posts about your topic by keyword, then feed those post URLs into this Actor. You go from "people are talking about X" to "here is the list of people, with profile links" in two steps.

How to monitor a post's engagement over time

Put the Actor on a schedule — daily or hourly — with the same post URLs. Each run captures the audience as it stands, so you can watch a launch post accumulate an audience and follow up while interest is fresh.

LinkedIn Post Engagement API

Every run is available through the Apify API, so you can use this Actor as a LinkedIn reactions and comments API rather than a manual tool. Start a run, poll it, and read the dataset as JSON from your own backend, or have results pushed to you with a webhook when a run finishes. Client libraries are available for Python and JavaScript.

Integrations

• n8n, Make, and Zapier — trigger runs and pipe engagers straight into your CRM, spreadsheet, or email tool using Apify's official integrations.
• Google Sheets / Airtable / Slack — push new engagers into a sheet or a channel as they are found.
• AI agents (MCP) — the Actor is callable from AI agents through Apify's MCP server, so an assistant can pull a post's audience on request.
• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run completes.

Common uses

• Warm lead generation — everyone engaging with a post on your topic is already interested. Reach out to them instead of cold lists.
• Competitor audience mining — see who engages with your competitors' content.
• Event and launch follow-up — capture everyone who responded to an announcement.
• Community and advocacy — find the people who consistently amplify your content.
• Influencer research — see which audiences a creator actually reaches.

Limits and scale

• Results reflect what LinkedIn surfaces for a post at the time of the run. Very large engagement lists (many thousands) may be returned partially.
• Use Max engagers per post to keep large jobs predictable, and maximum spend per run to cap cost.
• Runs are paced deliberately to stay well within normal usage patterns. Big multi-post jobs take longer rather than being pushed through aggressively.

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 engagers — that's it. No subscription, no monthly minimum, and no charge for engagers you don't receive.

Duplicates merged by the Actor aren't charged twice, and you can set a maximum spend per run so costs stay predictable.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account, login, or cookies? No. That is the point of this Actor. You never connect an account, paste an li_at cookie, or log in anywhere.

Can my LinkedIn account get banned for using this? Your account isn't used, so it isn't exposed. Tools that ask you to paste a cookie or connect your profile put your account in the loop — this one doesn't.

Is scraping LinkedIn legal? Collecting publicly visible information is broadly permitted in many jurisdictions, but it is also restricted by LinkedIn's own terms, and personal data carries obligations under laws such as GDPR. You are responsible for having a lawful basis for what you collect and how you use it. If you are unsure — particularly for outreach in the EU — take legal advice.

Can I export to Excel or CSV? Yes. Every run's dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, from the Console or the API.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes, using Apify Schedules — hourly, daily, weekly, or a custom cron expression.

Does it work with n8n, Make, or Zapier? Yes, through Apify's official integrations for each. See Integrations above.

What if a post has no engagement, or the URL is wrong? The run finishes cleanly and simply returns no rows for that post. You are not charged for engagers that were never returned.

Does it get comment replies too? Only if you switch on Include comment replies. It is off by default because it makes runs longer and returns a lot more rows.

Why is commentedAt empty on some rows? LinkedIn timestamps comments but not reactions. Rows for people who only reacted have no time available, and we leave the field empty rather than inventing one.

How many engagers can I get from one post? As many as LinkedIn surfaces for it. Set Max engagers per post to 0 to remove our cap and take everything available.

Notes

• Results depend on what LinkedIn surfaces for a post at the time of the run, and very large engagement lists may be partially available.
• Please use scraped data responsibly and in line with applicable laws (including data-protection rules such as GDPR) and LinkedIn's terms. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to collect and process the data you request.
