LinkedIn Post Scraper — Dormant / Bring Your Own Cookies

This actor extracts data from LinkedIn post URLs, but LinkedIn access is fragile and often requires a valid user session.

Current recommendation: do not use this as a generic no-cookie LinkedIn scraper. Use it only if you understand BYOC (bring your own cookies) and can provide LinkedIn session cookies securely through Apify secrets or private actor input.

Do not paste LinkedIn cookies into public chats, GitHub issues, Discord, Slack, or support threads.

Current status

• Health check is blocked until li_at and JSESSIONID are configured securely.
• The actor now fails truthfully if every URL fails instead of returning a misleading successful run with only failed rows.
• This actor is parked until we either build a no-cookie path or document a secure BYOC workflow.

Best use

Use this for controlled internal workflows where you can manage LinkedIn session credentials securely. If you need a public marketplace-ready actor, use/compare no-cookie LinkedIn actors first.
