## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

### 💬 Scrape LinkedIn profile comments with full post context

For social media analysts, researchers, and developers, this Actor collects public LinkedIn comments and reactions from a profile's activity, or comments on a profile's recent posts and public post or article URLs. It saves structured rows with activity text, public author details, source-post context, engagement, dates, links, and media when shown. This gives you a usable dataset for reviewing public discussions and building your own analysis.

- Review comments made by a public profile with **[LinkedIn Profile Comments](https://apify.com/maximedupre/scrape-linkedin-profile-comments/examples/linkedin-profile-comments)**.
- Collect comments and reactions from a profile with **[LinkedIn Profile Activity](https://apify.com/maximedupre/scrape-linkedin-profile-comments/examples/linkedin-profile-activity)**.
- Track public reactions made by a profile with **[LinkedIn Reactions Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/scrape-linkedin-profile-comments/examples/linkedin-reactions-scraper)**.
- Read comments from a public post or article with **[LinkedIn Post Comments](https://apify.com/maximedupre/scrape-linkedin-profile-comments/examples/linkedin-post-comments)**.
- Collect public LinkedIn comments from a chosen source with **[Scrape LinkedIn Comments](https://apify.com/maximedupre/scrape-linkedin-profile-comments/examples/scrape-linkedin-comments)**.

#### 📦 Public activity rows with source context

Each row has one shape. `activityType` tells you whether it is a comment or reaction. `sourceType` tells you whether it came from profile activity, comments on a profile's recent posts, or a direct post or article URL. Optional fields are left out when the public source does not show them.

**What the rows help you review**

- The activity text, action, link, time, author, and available reaction count.
- The source post or article, its author, text, time, engagement, and public media links.
- Public profile links, names, headlines, follower counts, and profile images when shown.

#### 🧭 Choose a source and start a focused run

**Run steps**

1. Choose `A profile's activity` to collect comments, reactions, or both made by the submitted profile.
2. Choose `A profile's recent posts` to collect comments on recent public posts attributed to the submitted profile.
3. Choose `A LinkedIn post or article` to collect comments from each public post or article URL you submit.
4. Set `Result type` when using profile activity. The other two choices return comments.
5. Add public profile URLs or usernames for the two profile choices. Add public post or article URLs for the direct post choice.
6. Add an optional date range for profile activity and set `Maximum results` when you want a collection cap.
7. Start the run, then open the default dataset to read the structured rows.

One collection setting applies to all sources in a run. Leave `Maximum results` empty to return all available results until the public sources are exhausted.

#### ⚙️ Input

Use sources that match the collection choice. Profile choices accept public LinkedIn profile URLs or usernames. The direct post choice accepts public LinkedIn post or article URLs.

**Input fields**

| Field | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `findActivityFrom` | string | Selects profile activity, comments on a profile's recent posts, or comments on a direct post or article. |
| `resultType` | string | For profile activity, selects comments, reactions, or both. The other two choices return comments. |

| `sources` | array<string> | One or more public LinkedIn profile URLs, usernames, post URLs, or article URLs that match the selected choice. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stops after this many results across the run. Leave it empty to return all available results until the public sources are exhausted. |

**Default input example**

This is the public input from a successful current-beta default-input run:

```json
{
  "findActivityFrom": "profileActivity",
  "resultType": "comments",
  "sources": [

He once told me he looked at the data and figured out that first graders have the best actuarial odds, so he decided to eat like one. He was only half joking. He’s gifted at investing in people. Warren has always found time to nurture friendships like few other people I know. He’s one of the most patient people I’ve ever met. I’m still amazed by his ability to draw people in and he makes it fun to learn from him. He sticks to what he believes in. I once wrote him a letter about the example he set by sticking to what he believes in. That’s stuck with me for all these years. We never run out of things to talk or laugh about. And if there’s one thing Warren has taught me, it’s what friendship is really all about. In short, I’m a fan. Happy 96th birthday, my friend.",

#### 💳 Pricing

**Charged events**

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. A saved comment row uses the `linkedin-comment` event. A saved reaction row uses the `linkedin-profile-reaction` event. The rate for each event can vary by Apify plan, so the amount depends on the number and type of rows saved. A run that saves no comment or reaction rows does not create either row event.

| Buyer-facing event | What it covers |
| --- | --- |
| Comment | One public comment saved to the dataset. |
| Profile reaction | One public reaction made by a submitted profile, saved with its source post context. |

#### ❓ FAQ

##### How do I collect comments made by a profile?

Set `Find activity from` to `A profile's activity` and set `Result type` to `Comments`. Add the public profile URL or username as a source.

##### How do I get comments on a profile's recent posts?

Set `Find activity from` to `A profile's recent posts`. Add a public LinkedIn profile URL or username. This mode returns comments on the recent public posts attributed to that profile.

##### Can I collect reactions?

Yes. Use `A profile's activity` and choose `Reactions` or `Comments and reactions`. The profile posts and direct post choices return comments.

##### Can I use a public post or article URL?

Yes. Choose `A LinkedIn post or article` and add one or more public post or article URLs. Each matching source uses the same run settings.

##### Can I use more than one source in a run?

Yes. Add each public profile URL, username, post URL, or article URL as its own source item. One collection setting applies to all sources in that run.

##### Can I search by a person's name or by a keyword?

No. Add a public LinkedIn profile URL or username for the profile choices, or a public post or article URL for the direct post choice. The Actor does not discover arbitrary profiles or posts from free text.

##### What happens if a source is private or login gated?

Only public LinkedIn surfaces are in scope. Private, restricted, deleted, or login gated activity may not be available, and the Actor does not invent missing values.

##### What does leaving Maximum results empty do?

It returns all available results until the public sources are exhausted. Set a positive value when you want a cap across the whole run.

##### Do I need a LinkedIn login or cookies?

No. The Actor uses public LinkedIn profile and post surfaces and does not require customer login, cookies, or other source authentication.

##### Why is an optional field missing?

LinkedIn may not show every field on every public surface. When a field is not available, it is left out instead of being filled with an invented value.

## `resultType` (type: `string`):

This setting applies only to A profile's activity. Choose comments, reactions, or both. The other two choices return comments.

## `activityDateRange` (type: `object`):

Optional. Use this with A profile's activity to keep results within a date range. The other two choices ignore it. Set From, To, or both. Leave both empty for all available activity.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

Add one or more sources. For the two profile choices, use public LinkedIn profile URLs or usernames. For the direct post choice, use public LinkedIn post or article URLs. Put one source in each item.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many results across the run. Leave it empty to return all available results until the public sources are exhausted.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,maximedupre/scrape-linkedin-profile-comments"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
