## Pricing

from $2.70 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper: New Posts Since Last Run

**LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper** - Watch public LinkedIn profiles and company pages - no cookies, no account. Get only the posts that are new since your last run.

### What does LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper do?

It remembers which posts it already showed you, marks each one new or seen, and warns you when so much was posted since the last run that something could have slipped by - no cookies, no account.

- No cookies, login or LinkedIn account needed
- Each post marked new or seen since your last run, with an only-new switch
- Profiles and company pages, posts and articles in one list
- Likes, post time, link, author and follower count on every row
- Warns when posts may have been missed

### Who uses LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper, and for what

- Sales teams - get alerted when a prospect posts something new
- Marketers - track competitor company pages every morning
- PR teams - collect what executives said this week
- Recruiters - watch a hiring manager's activity

### Why this LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper?

Low cases fail because they return the same posts every run and break when LinkedIn blocks plain traffic. This LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### FAQ

**Does LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

**Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

### Troubleshooting

- **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
- **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper never logs in.
- **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.

  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "useApifyProxy": true

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,h1018y/anvil-linkedin-p60439-reliable"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
