How it works

flowchart LR
    A[Creator URLs] --> B[Search index<br/>linkedin.com/posts/handle_]
    B --> C[Post embed pages<br/>no auth needed]
    C --> D[Parse engagement<br/>reactions comments reposts]
    D --> E[Filter to lookback window]
    E --> F[Aggregate per creator]
    F --> G[(One row per creator<br/>ranked by velocity)]

The actor finds each creator's recent public posts via search, then loads each post via LinkedIn's anonymous embed endpoint to read the engagement counters. No cookie passes through the actor at any stage.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookie?

No. The actor only touches public post embed pages. Your account is never touched.

How does engagement velocity differ from total reactions?

Total reactions is a stock metric. Engagement velocity is reactions plus comments plus reposts divided by the lookback window in days. A creator with 5 huge posts last week beats a creator with 50 tiny posts over six months on velocity, even if their totals match.

Why is postsDiscovered higher than postsInWindow sometimes?

postsDiscovered counts every post the actor found via search. postsInWindow counts only the ones whose timestamp falls inside the lookback window. Older posts are excluded from the ranking but the discovery count tells you how complete the search was.

Can I rank companies, not just people?

Yes. URLs in the form linkedin.com/company/{handle}/ and linkedin.com/showcase/{handle}/ are supported alongside linkedin.com/in/{handle}/.

What if a creator has no posts in the window?

The row still ships with zeros for every counter and postsInWindow: 0. That tells you the creator went dark in the period, which is itself useful signal.

Is scraping LinkedIn allowed?

This actor reads HTML any anonymous web visitor can see. Respect LinkedIn's terms and rate limit sensibly. Do not redistribute data you have no lawful basis to process.
