## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## LinkedIn Company Posts Scraper

Scrape public posts from LinkedIn company pages without asking users for LinkedIn cookies.

This actor uses managed social-data APIs:

- Primary: ScrapeCreators `/v1/linkedin/company/posts`
- Secondary: SociaVault `/v1/scrape/linkedin/company` and `/v1/scrape/linkedin/post`

Both providers work with public data and provider API keys. The actor never accepts LinkedIn `li_at`, browser cookies, email/password login, or private member data.

### Input

```json
{
  "companyUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/shopify"],
  "maxPosts": 100,
  "maxPagesPerCompany": 1,
  "providerOrder": "scrapecreators-first",
  "includeCompanyProfile": true,
  "enrichPosts": false
}
````

### Output

Each dataset item is one company post:

```json
{
  "companyUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/shopify",
  "companyName": "Shopify",
  "companyHandle": "shopify",
  "postId": "7429579034096726016",
  "postUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/shopify_example-activity-7429579034096726016-uX1e",
  "text": "Merchants can now use Sidekick voice mode.",
  "datePublished": "2026-02-17T17:34:36.617Z",
  "source": "scrapecreators",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-08T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

If `enrichPosts` is enabled and SociaVault is configured, records can also include `reactionCount`, `likeCount`, `commentCount`, `engagementCount`, author fields, and a short comments preview when the provider returns those fields.

### Owner Setup

Add provider keys as Apify secrets:

```bash
apify secrets add SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY "your-key"
apify secrets add SOCIAVAULT_API_KEY "your-key"
```

`SOCIALVAULT_API_KEY` is also read for compatibility with older local actors, but `SOCIAVAULT_API_KEY` is preferred.

### Provider Behavior

ScrapeCreators is the recommended primary source because it exposes a dedicated company posts endpoint with `url` and `page` parameters. The provider currently documents a maximum of 7 company-post pages because of LinkedIn public-page limitations.

SociaVault is used as a fallback via its company endpoint, which returns company metadata and recent posts when available. Its post endpoint can be used for optional per-post enrichment.

### Limits

- Public LinkedIn data only.
- No private profiles, logged-in-only posts, jobs, emails, connections, or employee graphs.
- No LinkedIn cookies accepted.
- `maxPagesPerCompany` is capped at 7.

### Run Summary

The actor writes `RUN_SUMMARY` and `OUTPUT` key-value records with:

- number of posts scraped and charged
- companies processed
- providers configured and used
- provider status-code telemetry
- duplicate count
- terminal `stopReason`

### Pricing

The included pay-per-event schema charges `post-scraped` at USD 0.005 per saved post. This keeps margin above the managed provider request costs even when occasional fallbacks or detail enrichments are needed.

# Actor input Schema

## `companyUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more public LinkedIn company page URLs, for example https://www.linkedin.com/company/shopify.

## `maxPosts` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of post records to save across all company URLs.

## `startPage` (type: `integer`):

ScrapeCreators company-post pages are numbered from 1.

## `maxPagesPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

ScrapeCreators currently exposes up to 7 company-post pages because of LinkedIn public-page limits.

## `providerOrder` (type: `string`):

Choose which managed API is tried first. ScrapeCreators is recommended for company posts.

## `includeCompanyProfile` (type: `boolean`):

When SociaVault is available, attach public company metadata such as name, handle, followers, industry, logo, and website.

## `enrichPosts` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each post detail with SociaVault when available to add engagement counts and author/comment previews. This costs one provider request per post.

## `includeRawData` (type: `boolean`):

Include compact raw provider payloads for debugging and downstream custom parsing.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/shopify"
