Linkedin Top Content Scraper

Linkedin Top Content (linkedin.com/top-content) is a curated feed of high-performing posts by topic. This actor collects structured post data from Linkedin Top Content pages.

Introduction

The Linkedin Top Content scraper helps you collect popular public posts from Linkedin topic pages in a structured format, so you can easily review what people are talking about and which content gets attention.

Use Cases

• Content research: Track top-performing posts by topic and monitor trends.
• Competitive analysis: Compare messaging, post formats, and engagement across creators.
• Lead discovery: Identify active creators and niche experts in specific industries.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI dashboards and internal reporting with structured social data.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, optional): Linkedin /top-content/ or topic URLs.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of posts to extract per original URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• If startUrls is empty, the actor starts from https://www.linkedin.com/top-content/.
• Crawling stops per original URL when maxItems is reached.
• If maxItems is not provided, the actor continues until all discovered items are processed.
