LinkedIn Post Details Scraper: Text, Author, Stats, No Login

From The Mine Works, makers of LinkedIn Post Comments Scraper and LinkedIn Company Posts Scraper, with over 245,000 runs across 280+ public actors.

Updated 28 Oct 2026: first release. Post links, feed links, urns, bare activity ids and /pulse/ article links in; one flat row per post out with the full text, hashtags, mentions, links, images, video, documents, exact publish time, reactions, comments, reposts when LinkedIn shows them, the author's name, headline, profile link and followers, the original post of a repost and the full text of an article. Optional first public comments. Bookmark this Actor on its Store page so it is one click away next time.

Why choose this actor?

• Built for the step after a post search. Paste the links a search, a CRM or an AI agent found, and get one row back for every one of them: the post, or a free error row that says it is private or deleted. One link per run from Clay or n8n works the same as a batch of 5,000.
• The whole post in columns. Full text with line breaks, hashtags, mentions (name, link, person or company), outside links, image_urls, video_url with its length, document_title and page count, the shared link card, and posted_at exact to the millisecond. For a repost, the original author and text; for a /pulse/ article, its title, cover image and full text. In our test of 107 public posts, author followers were filled on 97%, text on 98%, the publish time on 100%, and the headline on 70% of posts by people.
• Pay per post, nothing for dead links. Private, deleted and mistyped posts come back as an error row with the reason and are never charged. No LinkedIn account, cookies or API key.

Try it in one minute

Paste this into the input (JSON view) and press Start. It returns a Stripe video post and a Microsoft article, two rows, in about 4 seconds:

{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stripe_move-money-with-agents-using-stripe-treasury-activity-7518744569480671232-xbm3",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/october-2026-new-copilot-microsoft-hlwpe"
  ]
}

Put one link per line. Any LinkedIn post link works: "Copy link to post" from the post's three dots menu, a /feed/update/urn:li:activity:... link, an urn, or the activity number on its own.

Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit every month, which covers about 2,700 posts at this actor's price.

Call ApifyClient("TOKEN").actor("themineworks/linkedin-post-details-scraper").call(run_input={"postUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stripe_move-money-with-agents-using-stripe-treasury-activity-7518744569480671232-xbm3"]}), then client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items. Inputs: postUrls (post links such as https://www.linkedin.com/posts/<name>_<words>-activity-<number>-<code>, feed links https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<number> or ugcPost or share, article links https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/<slug>, urns, or bare activity numbers; up to 5000). Optional: includeComments (default false; adds a comments array with the first public comments, up to 10), maxCommentsPerPost (1 to 10, default 10), includeAuthorHeadline (default true; one small extra request per person post for the headline and photo). Post rows have no _type field and carry post_id, post_urn, share_urn, post_type (post, repost, quote_repost, article), post_url, share_url, input, text, text_length, hashtags, mentions (name, url, type), links, media_type (image, video, document, link, none), image_urls, video_url, video_thumbnail_url, video_duration_seconds, document_title, document_pages, document_cover_url, document_manifest_url, link_preview_url, link_preview_title, link_preview_subtitle, link_preview_image_url, posted_at, posted_date_source (page or decoded_from_id), posted_ago, is_edited, reactions_count, comments_count, reposts_count, reactions_by_type, author_name, author_headline, author_url, author_type (person or company), author_followers, author_image_url, is_repost, original_post_url, original_post_id, original_author_name, original_author_url, original_post_text, original_posted_at, article_title, article_subtitle, article_cover_image_url, article_text, article_word_count, comments (comment_id, text, author_name, author_url, author_headline, posted_at, reaction_count, position), page_layout, scraped_at. Empty fields are left out of the row. Each run also writes one row with _type "summary", one with _type "info" when posts were delivered, and a row with _type "error" for each input that could not be read (error_type unavailable, not_found, invalid_url, blocked or fetch_error); none of these is charged. Full spec: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/themineworks~linkedin-post-details-scraper/builds/default (Bearer TOKEN), which returns inputSchema and readme. Token: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations?fpr=ymnoit&utm_source=apify-readme&utm_medium=referral

Key features

• Every link form. /posts/ share links, /feed/update/ links for activity, ugcPost and share urns, links from other LinkedIn country hosts (uk., in., de.), bare urns and activity numbers, and /pulse/ article links. The same post given twice, in two forms, is delivered and charged once.
• Exact dates. posted_at comes from the page to the millisecond. When the page does not carry it, it is decoded from the activity id, which holds the creation time, so every post gets a date.
• Author details. Name, profile or company link, author_type (person or company) and author_followers on almost every row. People's headline and photo come from the post's small embed page, because the main post page leaves them out for most people.
• Reposts handled. post_type tells a plain repost from a repost with the reposter's own words (quote_repost), and original_author_name, original_author_url, original_post_text and original_posted_at carry the post that was shared.
• Articles read in full. A /pulse/ link returns the article title, subtitle, cover image, full text with its paragraphs, word count, inline images, links and author.
• First comments if you want them. With includeComments on, each row carries the first comments LinkedIn shows a logged-out visitor (up to 10, ranked most relevant) with text, author, author link, time and reaction count, at no extra request and no extra charge.
• Stops cleanly. Eight unreadable posts in a row, or twenty dead links in a row, end the run; the run stops before its time limit and keeps every row. The summary row has the fill rate of every main field.

How to use it

Basic: details for a list of posts

{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hubspot_which-ai-model-is-best-for-the-task-not-activity-7520543826436980736-pOZX",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7518744569480671232",
    "7520878131965091840"
  ]
}

With the first comments

{
  "postUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7518744569480671232"],
  "includeComments": true,
  "maxCommentsPerPost": 5
}

One post at a time from Clay, n8n or an AI agent

{
  "postUrls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stripe_move-money-with-agents-using-stripe-treasury-activity-7518744569480671232-xbm3"],

}

One row back in about 4 seconds in our test. The run starts no extra request, so a single record costs one page (about 190 KB).

  "charged": false
}

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay for the posts you receive, plus a flat $0.001 per run, whatever memory you choose. Comments, author headlines, article text and repost originals cost nothing extra.

Event	When it is charged	Free plan	Bronze (Starter)	Silver (Scale)	Gold (Business)
post-scraped	Once per post row stored in your dataset	$1.80 per 1,000	$1.50 per 1,000	$1.30 per 1,000	$1.10 per 1,000
run-start	Once per run, after the first post row is stored	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001

The price of one post is the price per 1,000 divided by 1,000.

Never charged:

• private, deleted and mistyped posts and articles (each gets an error row with the reason);
• inputs that are not post or article links, such as profile or company links;
• a post that two of your inputs point at, after the first;
• the summary, info and error rows;
• a run that delivers no post: the start fee is charged only after the first post row is stored;
• anything past your "Max cost per run". The actor checks the budget before each row and stops while the total is still below your limit, so the run ends SUCCEEDED with a partial result and a status message saying so.

Run it on a schedule

1. Open the actor in Apify Console, set your input and click Save as a new task.
2. In the task, open Schedules, click Add schedule and pick how often (every day, every Monday at 08:00 and so on).
3. Compare runs on post_id to track how reactions_count, comments_count and reposts_count grow on the posts you follow.
4. Optional: add an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook) so each run lands where your team works.

FAQ

What does this actor read?

The public page LinkedIn shows a logged-out visitor for each post (/feed/update/...) or article (/pulse/...), over plain HTTP through Apify's datacenter proxy, plus, for person posts without a headline, the post's small public embed page. No browser, no account, no cookies.

Why is reposts_count empty on most rows?

LinkedIn serves its post pages in two layouts at random. Only its newer layout shows the repost count and the reaction breakdown to a logged-out visitor; the classic layout shows reactions and comments only. When a request gets the newer layout, its counts are kept and merged into the row. In our tests that was about 5 posts in 100, so treat reposts_count and reactions_by_type as a bonus, not a column to rely on.

Why do some people have no headline?

The headline is read from the post's embed page. Some people's posts show no headline there either, and plain reposts show the original author's card, not the reposter's.

What happens with private or deleted posts?

LinkedIn sends a logged-out visitor to its sign-in page for those. The actor tries a second IP; two sign-in pages, a 404, or LinkedIn's "not found" page give an error row with error_type unavailable or not_found. They are never charged.

How long does a run take?

About 4 seconds for one post. Our test of 111 links took 147 seconds on our office connection; runs on Apify are usually faster. Five posts are read at a time.

Do I need a LinkedIn account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The actor reads public pages over Apify Proxy, which is included. Nothing to set up.

Can I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP)?

Yes, through Apify's MCP server. Connector URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/linkedin-post-details-scraper

• Claude: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the URL, sign in with Apify.
• ChatGPT: turn on developer mode, add an MCP connector with the URL, sign in with Apify.
• Cursor or VS Code: add it as an HTTP MCP server with that URL.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add -t http linkedin-post-details-scraper "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/linkedin-post-details-scraper"

Which formats can I download?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and HTML from the run's Storage tab or through the API. The dataset has four ready views: Posts, Authors, Media and links, and Posts not read. In CSV and Excel, lists such as image_urls and mentions are flattened into columns such as image_urls/0 and mentions/0/name.

Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn?

The actor reads only what LinkedIn shows any visitor who is not logged in: public posts, public articles and the public author details on them. It does not log in, use cookies or solve CAPTCHAs. LinkedIn's terms restrict automated access, and posts can contain personal data, so you are responsible for how you use the data, including LinkedIn's terms and data protection law such as GDPR and CCPA. This is general information, not legal advice.

Integrations

• Clay: add an HTTP column that runs the actor with the post link from your table and maps text, author_name, author_followers and reactions_count back into columns.
• n8n, Make and Zapier: after a post search step, run the actor once per link or once per batch and read its dataset, for example "new posts on our keywords every morning with full text and author to a sheet".
• AI agents: give the agent the "Copy to your AI assistant" block above, or the MCP connector in the FAQ, so it can read a post before it answers or drafts a comment.
• Google Sheets: send each run's posts to a sheet with Apify's Google Sheets integration; one row per post fits a sheet as is.
• Webhooks and API: have Apify call your URL when a run succeeds, then fetch the dataset, or run it from Python or JavaScript with the Apify client.
