What does LinkedIn Posts Scraper do?

It reads the posts LinkedIn shows to logged-out visitors, the same way your browser does without signing in, and turns them into clean rows. A profile gives the member's recent posts and reposts (and, if you want, the posts they reacted to and their LinkedIn articles); a company page gives its latest posts; a post URL gives that post with its comments and, optionally, the related posts LinkedIn shows beside it.

• Profiles, companies and posts in one list. linkedin.com/in/... links or plain usernames, linkedin.com/company/... and showcase pages, linkedin.com/posts/... and feed/update/urn:li:activity:... links, even bare URNs.
• Exact times and full texts. Posting time to the millisecond (read from the post id, not "3w"), the full post text with its line breaks, hashtags, mentions and links pulled out.
• Engagement in every row. Reactions, comments, the top reaction types and an engagement rate against the author's followers.
• Comments when you want them. Up to 10 per post with commenter, headline, text, time and likes, charged per comment.
• Only pay for results. Hidden profiles, deleted or members-only posts, duplicates and filtered posts return no row or an error row, and are never charged.
• Built for automation. Run it on a schedule, call it from the API, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or an AI agent through Apify's MCP server.

Why it is fast and cheap

LinkedIn renders profiles, company pages and posts on its servers for visitors who are not signed in. The scraper fetches those pages over plain HTTP with a real browser's network fingerprint and reads LinkedIn's own structured data from them: no browser, no login, no paid proxy. A profile or company page is a single request for all its recent posts: three profiles and companies returned 28 posts in 2.3 seconds. When LinkedIn slows one address down, the scraper moves to another by itself.

How to scrape LinkedIn posts

1. Click Try for free and paste LinkedIn profile links or usernames, company pages or post links into Profiles, companies or posts, one per line.
2. Optionally set a date range, content types, or turn on comments, reacted-to posts, articles or related posts.
3. Click Start. A list of profiles and companies takes seconds; with comments, about a minute per 40 inputs.
4. Open the Output tab (views: Overview, Engagement, Media and links, Comments), or download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

How much does it cost to scrape LinkedIn posts?

You pay per post returned, and the price drops on higher Apify plans. Comments are an optional add-on, charged per comment:

Apify plan	Per 1,000 posts	Per 1,000 comments (add-on)
Free	$1.20	$0.60
Starter	$1.00	$0.50
Scale	$0.85	$0.42
Business	$0.70	$0.35

• 100 profiles with about 9 recent posts each = ~900 posts = $0.90 on Starter.
• 200 posts with their comments (about 8 each) = $0.20 + 1,600 comments x $0.0005 = $1.00 on Starter.
• A run also costs $0.00005 to start. An input that fails, or has nothing that matches your filters, costs nothing more.
• The Free plan's $5 monthly credit covers about 4,000 posts.

(The comment shown is from another post; commentsList is null unless you turn comments on.)

An input that cannot be read becomes a row with "recordType": "error" and an errorCode instead of failing the whole run:

errorCode	Meaning
NOT_FOUND	No such post or company page, or the link is wrong
PROFILE_NOT_PUBLIC	The member hides their profile from logged-out visitors, or the username does not exist
POST_NOT_PUBLIC	LinkedIn shows this post only to signed-in members, or it was deleted
NO_POSTS	The profile or company page shows no posts logged out
NOT_SUPPORTED	School pages, which LinkedIn shows only to members
DUPLICATE	Another input of the run is the same post; it is delivered once
RATE_LIMITED	LinkedIn refused every address the run tried; run it again later

Error rows are never charged.

Tips and limits

• Recent posts, not full history. Logged out, LinkedIn shows about 8-10 recent posts per profile or company page (plus reactions and articles on profiles). To build a history, schedule the scraper daily or weekly and keep the postIds you have not seen.
• No keyword search. LinkedIn's post search needs a signed-in account, so this scraper takes profiles, companies and post links. Turn on Include related posts on a few post links to discover more posts on the same topic.
• Hidden profiles. Many members hide their public profile from logged-out visitors; those come back as PROFILE_NOT_PUBLIC, uncharged. Their public posts can still be scraped by post link.
• Comments are the first ~10. LinkedIn shows logged-out visitors up to about 10 comments per post, without replies and without the list of people who reacted. Some posts open only for members; they are delivered with an empty commentsList and no comment charge.
• Video files and repost counts. The video file comes from the post's own page (post links, or with comments on). LinkedIn does not show repost counts logged out.
• Hit your spending limit? The run stops cleanly at your maximum cost per run and keeps everything it collected. Raise the limit in the run options to get more.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn posts?

This Actor collects only data that LinkedIn shows publicly to visitors who are not signed in, without logging in or bypassing any login. Results can still contain personal data (names, headlines, comments), which laws such as the GDPR protect. Scrape personal data only for a legitimate purpose, keep only what you need, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. LinkedIn is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation; this Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies?

No. Nothing is logged in, so no account can be restricted or banned.

Can I use it through the API or with Make, Zapier and n8n?

Yes. Every run can be started through the Apify API and returns the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel. Schedules, webhooks and integrations for Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets are on the Integrations tab.

Can AI agents use it?

Yes. Agents connected to Apify's MCP server can find and run this Actor as a tool, with the same per-post pricing.

Why did I get fewer posts than I asked for?

LinkedIn shows only the recent posts of a profile or company to logged-out visitors, your date or type filters left some out, the run reached your maximum cost per run, or an input failed (see its error row). The log's summary line says which.
