LinkedIn Batch Profile Posts Scraper

Turn a list of LinkedIn person profiles into one dataset of recent public posts. Paste profile URLs or vanity handles and get post text, permalink, published date, hashtags, mentions, and posting-cadence stats for every visible item in the public activity preview. No LinkedIn login or cookies.

This Actor is built for ABM and content teams that monitor many people in one run. Providers return the recent public preview (typically a handful of posts per profile), which is enough for cadence, topic, and signal monitoring.

Best fit for this Actor

• Watch a named ABM list for job-change, launch, and fundraising posts.
• Compare thought-leader posting cadence and hashtag mix across a watchlist.
• Feed a content radar with public executive posts before a weekly briefing.

For a single profile with optional post-detail enrichment, use LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper. For company pages use LinkedIn Company Posts Scraper. For keyword search use LinkedIn Posts Scraper.

Practical scenario

A content strategist pastes satyanadella and parrsam, sets maxPostsPerProfile to 3, and leaves postedLimit at any. The run returns one row per recent public post: text, LinkedIn permalink, ISO date, extracted hashtags, and cadencePostsPerWeek for that profile. A missing handle finishes SUCCEEDED with VALID_EMPTY and no post-scraped charge.

Quick start input

{
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/parrsam/"
  ],
  "maxPostsPerProfile": 3,
  "postedLimit": "any",
  "includeReposts": true,
  "authoredOnly": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}

profileUrls accepts /in/ URLs or bare vanity handles. Duplicate URLs are collapsed before any provider call.

Connect the workflow

• After you have post URLs, extract commenters with LinkedIn Post Engagers Scraper.
• For person identity without posts, use LinkedIn Profile Details Scraper.

Pricing

Pay per event plus platform usage. Confirm current event prices on the live Pricing tab; that tab is the source of truth if this page ever lags.

• apify-actor-start: $0.00005 per run
• post-scraped: $0.006 per saved post row

A two-profile, three-post run is about $0.036 in result events plus a few seconds of Apify platform usage. Missing profiles and empty windows have no post-scraped charge. Provider credits are paid by the Actor owner.

How it works

1. Normalize and deduplicate profile URLs and handles.
2. Fetch each public profile concurrently from ScrapeCreators, then SociaVault on failure.
3. Keep posts that match postedLimit, includeReposts, and authoredOnly.
4. Attach hashtags, mentions, and per-profile cadence, charge post-scraped, then write the row.

Best results

• Pass person /in/ URLs or vanity handles, not company pages or post URLs.
• Keep maxPostsPerProfile near 10. The public preview rarely returns a full archive.
• Use postedLimit when you only want last-week or last-month activity.
• A typo handle finishes SUCCEEDED with VALID_EMPTY and no post charge.

Builder's note

I found that both public-data providers return a short recentPosts preview with link, id, title, datePublished, and activityType on live person profiles. In my testing that preview is enough for cadence and tags, and SociaVault wraps the same posts in a numeric-key object, so the runtime treats objects and arrays the same. The product stays a batch monitor of the public preview.
