LinkedIn Post Search Scraper

Find public LinkedIn posts by keyword, exact phrase, hashtag, person, or company—then enrich the discoveries with full public post text, author details, engagement counts, timestamp, and media when LinkedIn exposes them.

Unlike tools that require a LinkedIn account, cookies, or Sales Navigator, this Actor discovers posts through public web search indexes (DuckDuckGo, Bing, and Google) and reads LinkedIn’s public embed surface. It is designed for durable research and monitoring workflows, not authenticated surveillance.

What you get

Field	Description
query	Search query that discovered the post
url, urn, post_id	Canonical post identifiers
text, text_preview, title	Full public text when available, with search preview fallback
author_name, author_headline, author_profile_url	Public author details
reactions_count, comments_count	Public engagement counters
posted_relative	Relative post time exposed by LinkedIn
media	Public post image URLs
enrichment_status	enriched, preview_only, or not_requested

Example input

  "enrichPosts": true,

  "language": "en"

Coverage you can trust

Search engines do not index every LinkedIn post. This Actor returns the publicly indexed subset and labels rows where LinkedIn enrichment is unavailable instead of inventing missing fields. Private, deleted, login-only, and non-indexed posts are outside scope.

Output fields

• One row per result with stable keys.

Input parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
queries	Yes	Keywords, exact phrases, hashtags, people, or companies to find in publicly indexed LinkedIn posts.
maxResultsPerQuery	No	Maximum unique public posts returned for each query.
enrichPosts	No	Fetch each post's public detail to add full text, author, reactions, comments, timestamp, and media when available.
country	No	Two-letter search country code such as us, gb, de, or in.
language	No	Two-letter search interface language such as en, de, fr, or es.
proxyConfiguration	No	Proxy used only for optional LinkedIn post enrichment. Residential is recommended.

Limitations

• Results reflect the public source at run time; removed or restricted items disappear between runs.
• Fields that are not publicly disclosed stay empty rather than being guessed.
• Use public data lawfully and respect applicable privacy and platform rules.
