LinkedIn Post Scraper
Extract structured data from a public LinkedIn post given its URL. Pure HTTP — no browser, no login, no cookies required.
What it does
Given one or more LinkedIn post URLs, returns:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
url | Canonical post URL |
urn | urn:li:activity:{id} / urn:li:share:{id} / urn:li:ugcPost:{id} |
post_id | Numeric id (last segment of the urn) |
text | Full post body (not the truncated og:description) |
posted_relative | Relative timestamp as LinkedIn renders it (e.g. 1mo, 3d, 5h) |
edited | true if the post shows an "Edited" marker |
author_name | Author display name |
author_headline | Author tagline (job title / description) |
author_profile_url | Link to the author's profile or company page |
author_profile_image | Author avatar URL |
author_is_company | true if the author is a company page |
reactions_count | Total reactions (likes, celebrates, etc.) |
comments_count | Number of top-level comments |
reposts_count | Always null — LinkedIn does not expose this on the public embed |
media | Array of {type, url, thumbnail} for images and videos in the post |
Accepted URL formats
The actor accepts any of:
Query strings (e.g. ?actorCompanyId=...) are stripped automatically.
Input
Output (per post)
Limitations
- Comment text is not returned. Pulling individual comments requires a logged-in session; this actor stays purely public.
- Reposts count is null. LinkedIn does not expose it on the public embed page.
posted_relativeis a relative string, not an ISO timestamp. The public embed exposes only the rendered "1mo" / "3d" form. If you need an absolute timestamp, derive it client-side frompost_id(LinkedIn ids encode the creation millisecond in the upper bits) or from your scrape time minus the relative interval.
Pricing
Pay-per-event: starts at $0.005 per post (FREE tier), drops to $0.002 at GOLD tier.
