⚡ Speed vs Data

Mode	Speed	Data
fetchDetails: false	~150 posts/min	Basic (URL, text preview)
fetchDetails: true	~30-80 posts/min	Full (all 18+ fields)

Recommendation: Use fetchDetails: true for best results.

⚠️ Limitations

• Profile Mode: Works best for company pages (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft). Personal profiles have limited indexing - use keywords search instead.
• Private Posts: Cannot access private or connection-only posts
• Rate Limiting: Very large scrapes (1000+ posts) may experience rate limiting

💡 Tips for Best Results

1. Use Residential Proxies: Essential for reliable results
2. Enable fetchDetails: Gets complete post information
3. Use dateFilter: Get recent posts only
4. Start Small: Test with limit: 5 before scaling up
5. Be Specific: More precise keywords = better results
6. For Personal Profiles: Use keywords search with the person's name instead of profileUrls

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue	Cause	Solution
No posts found	Profile not indexed or private	Try keywords search with the person/company name
Timeout errors	Large request or slow network	Reduce limit, enable fetchDetails: true
Rate limited	Too many requests	Wait a few minutes, use residential proxies
Missing fields	fetchDetails: false	Set fetchDetails: true for full data
Invalid URL error	Malformed LinkedIn URL	Use full URL: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/...

Understanding Empty Results

• Profile mode returns 0 posts: The profile may not have public posts indexed by search engines. Try keywords search with the person's name instead.
• Keywords return 0 posts: The search term may be too specific. Try broader keywords.
• Some posts missing data: LinkedIn pages may not include all metadata. This is normal.

Field Availability Notes

Field	Notes
numLikes = 0	Could mean no likes OR data not available
authorHeadline	Often empty - LinkedIn doesn't always expose this
hashtags = []	Post may not have hashtags
images = []	Post is text-only

When to Use Each Mode

Keywords Mode    → Best for: Topic research, trending content
Post URL Mode    → Best for: Specific posts you already know
Profile Mode     → Best for: Company pages (OpenAI, Google, etc.)

Error Messages Explained

• timeout after 90s → Request took too long. Reduce batch size.
• rate limited → Too many requests. Wait and retry with proxies.
• not found (404) → Post deleted or private.
• network error → Connection issue. Check proxy settings.
