🔬 LinkedIn Comment Deep-Dive Scraper - Replies + Reactions for One Comment (No Login)

Pull every reply AND every reactor for a single LinkedIn comment. Built for community managers, journalists, and crisis-monitoring teams who need full per-comment context.

This Actor combines two HarvestAPI endpoints in a single run - saving you the work of calling two separate actors and merging the results. One input, one structured output, one Apify run.

Free plan limit

Free Apify users get up to 50 results per run. Paying users are not affected and receive results normally.

This limit was set by the Actor developer, not by Apify. To remove it and receive unlimited results, upgrade to any paid Apify plan: https://apify.com/pricing

When a free plan run hits the cap, the Actor finishes successfully (status SUCCEEDED) and the run's status message explains what happened. No error is raised, so the first 50 results are fully usable as normal.

🎯 Use Cases

• Community management - drill into a controversial or important comment to understand the full thread
• Crisis monitoring - when one comment goes negative on your CEO's post, get the full picture instantly
• Journalism - investigate viral threads or contested statements at depth
• Academic research - analyze conversation dynamics around a specific comment
• Customer-feedback intelligence - surface comments on your product posts that drove the most response
• Influencer analysis - identify which of your commenters drove the most secondary engagement
• Legal evidence preservation - capture the full state of a thread (replies + reactors) for litigation hold

🚀 Quick Start

1. Click Try for free on this Actor's page
2. Enter one or more LinkedIn comment URLs in comment_urls (one per line)
3. Run the Actor
4. Download the combined output as JSON, CSV, or XLSX, or pull via Apify API

⚙️ Inputs

Required

• LinkedIn comment URLs (comment_urls) - One LinkedIn comment URL per line. Each URL must contain a commentUrn parameter. Tip: on LinkedIn, click the timestamp of the specific comment you want to analyze - the URL in your browser then contains commentUrn=.... Duplicates are removed automatically. One dataset row per URL.

Filters (defaults are fine for most users)

• Fetch replies (include_replies) - Default true.
• Fetch reactions (include_reactions) - Default true.
• Max number of replies per comment (max_replies) - Default 100, max 5000.
• Max number of reactions per comment (max_reactions) - Default 500, max 5000.
• Sort replies by (sort_replies_by) - date (default) or relevance. Hint only; underlying API uses token-based pagination.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event model on Apify. Each comment processed consumes at least 2 HarvestAPI calls (one for replies, one for reactions, plus extra calls per page when paginating). In bulk mode each URL is billed independently. See exact per-event pricing on the Actor's Apify page.

📦 Output Structure

One dataset row per result. Every reply and every reactor is its own row. A type field tells you what kind of row it is.

type: "reply" (one per reply)

{
  "type": "reply",
  "comment_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...",
  "parent_reply_id": null,
  "id": "urn:li:comment:(...)",
  "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/...",
  "text": "Great point!",
  "created_at": "2026-05-20T10:23:00Z",
  "author_name": "Jane Doe",
  "author_position": "Engineer at Acme",
  "author_linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/janedoe",
  "author_picture_url": "https://...",
  "is_post_author": false,
  "num_sub_comments": 0,
  "pinned": false,
  "edited": false,
  "reaction_type_counts": [{ "type": "LIKE", "count": 5 }],
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-25T12:34:56.789Z"
}

Nested replies: LinkedIn's "N replies" count on a comment includes sub-replies (replies-to-replies). The Actor fetches them too: top-level replies have parent_reply_id: null, sub-replies have parent_reply_id: "<id of the reply they nest under>". Build the tree client-side by joining on id -> parent_reply_id.

type: "reaction" (one per reactor)

{
  "type": "reaction",
  "comment_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...",
  "id": "urn:li:fsd_reaction:...",
  "reaction_type": "LIKE",
  "reactor_name": "Om More",
  "reactor_position": "PM at Acme",
  "reactor_linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/ACoAA...",
  "reactor_picture_url": "https://...",
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-25T12:34:56.789Z"
}

type: "error" (one per invalid input)

If a URL fails validation, the run does not crash. A single row with the structured error is written and processing continues with the remaining URLs.

{
  "type": "error",
  "comment_url": "https://example.com/foo?commentUrn=bar",
  "error_type": "invalid_input",
  "error_code": "NOT_LINKEDIN_URL",
  "error_description": "URL must be a linkedin.com URL (got hostname: example.com).",
  "error_how_to_fix": "Use a URL from linkedin.com. This Actor only supports LinkedIn comments.",
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-25T12:34:56.789Z"
}

Stable error codes: MISSING_COMMENT_URL, MALFORMED_URL, NOT_LINKEDIN_URL, MISSING_COMMENT_URN, NOTHING_TO_FETCH, MISSING_API_KEY.

type: "fetch_error" (one per failed upstream call)

If HarvestAPI fails for one part of a comment but the other part succeeds, a fetch_error row is emitted for the failed part. The successful part's rows are still pushed.

{
  "type": "fetch_error",
  "source": "replies",
  "comment_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...",
  "error": {
    "type": "upstream",
    "code": "REPLIES_FETCH_FAILED",
    "description": "HarvestAPI /linkedin/post-comment-replies returned 500 ...",
    "how_to_fix": "Re-run the Actor."
  },
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-25T12:34:56.789Z"
}

🔧 Technical Details

• Endpoints: 2 HarvestAPI endpoints called in parallel per run
  • GET /linkedin/post-comment-replies - token-based pagination
  • GET /linkedin/comment-reactions - page parameter pagination
• Concurrency: 2 (both endpoints in parallel)
• Retries: 3 with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s) on 429, 502, 503, 504. Non-retryable HTTP errors (e.g. 401, 404) fail immediately with no retries.
• Output: streamed via Apify dataset
• Format: JSON, CSV, XLSX, or via Apify API

📋 Schemas

This Actor ships with the schemas Apify uses to present inputs and outputs:

Schema	File	Purpose
Input	.actor/INPUT_SCHEMA.json	Drives the input form. Grouped into "What to fetch" and "Advanced settings".
Dataset	.actor/dataset_schema.json	Documents every field returned and its type.
Key-value store	.actor/key_value_store_schema.json	Declares the standard INPUT / OUTPUT keys. This Actor writes substantive results to the dataset, not the key-value store.
Live-view OpenAPI	(not applicable)	This Actor does not run an embedded web server, so no live-view OpenAPI schema is provided.

❓ FAQ

Q: Why combine two endpoints into one actor? A: For workflows where you always want both data sources together. If you want only ONE of these endpoints, use the dedicated single-purpose actor for that endpoint instead.

Q: Do I need a HarvestAPI account? A: No. UnseenUser holds the HarvestAPI credentials. You only need an Apify account.

Q: What if LinkedIn sends a cease-and-desist? A: Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease using this Actor immediately.

Q: Can I use this data to train AI? A: No. LinkedIn's Terms explicitly prohibit AI training on LinkedIn data, and post authors retain copyright. See Section G of the Actor-Specific Addendum.

Q: Why are reactor profile URLs in opaque ID format? A: This is by LinkedIn's design - the Reactions pop-up does not expose readable slugs. The reactor's name, position, and pictureUrl are still returned. To get a readable URL for a specific reactor, resolve it one at a time via the Profile endpoint (not in bulk - see Addendum Section F).

📜 Apify Actor - Terms of Service

Version: 4.0 Effective Date: May 5, 2026

0. ACCEPTANCE BY USE - IMPORTANT

Read this section first.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and UnseenUser, the Publisher of this Apify actor ("UnseenUser," "the Publisher," "we," "us," "our").

0.1 How You Accept These Terms

You accept these Terms by any of the following actions, each of which constitutes a clear, affirmative act of acceptance:

• (a) Running the Actor - Initiating any execution of the Actor on the Apify platform
• (b) Using any output returned by the Actor for any purpose
• (c) Continuing to access the Actor's listing or documentation after these Terms are visible

0.2 Continuing Acceptance

Each time you run the Actor or use its outputs, you reaffirm your acceptance of the then-current Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms or any subsequent update, you must stop using the Actor immediately.

0.3 No Anonymous Acceptance

You cannot disclaim acceptance by:

• Failing to read these Terms before running the Actor
• Running the Actor through automated systems
• Sharing your Apify account with others who may not have read these Terms

By the act of running the Actor on Apify, you bind yourself, your organization (if applicable), and any individuals or systems acting on your behalf or under your authority.

0.4 If You Do Not Accept

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not run the Actor. No use is authorized without acceptance.

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service:

The Data Flow

You (User) -> Apify Platform -> Actor (software) -> Third-Party API -> Source Platform
                                                          |
You (User) <- Apify Platform <- Actor (software) <- Third-Party API

What Each Party Does

• You (the User): Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose.
• Apify: Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
• The Publisher (us): Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a third-party API and returns the API's responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.
• Third-Party API Provider: HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) or Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com). These are independent third-party companies that operate scraping infrastructure and return data from source platforms.
• Source Platform: LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Linktree, etc. These are the platforms whose publicly visible data is accessed by the Third-Party API Providers.

Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

• Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
• HarvestAPI Terms of Service and Scrape Creators Terms of Service (governing the underlying data infrastructure)
• Source Platform terms (LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) governing the public data accessed
• Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. Each Actor:

• (a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform
• (b) Translates that input into HTTP requests to a third-party API operated by HarvestAPI or Scrape Creators
• (c) Receives HTTP responses from that third-party API
• (d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform

The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is not:

• (a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
• (b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators
• (c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
• (d) A licensed access channel to LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta, Linktree, or any other source platform
• (e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

• (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
• (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
• (c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when API providers change schemas)
• (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

1.4 The Third-Party API Providers' Role

HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) and Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com) are independent third-party companies. They:

• (a) Operate the actual data scraping infrastructure
• (b) Maintain relationships with source platforms (or accept the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships)
• (c) Are themselves Apify publishers (HarvestAPI publishes 9+ actors directly; Scrape Creators publishes 10+)
• (d) Provide their own Terms of Service governing their operations
• (e) Are responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself

The Publisher is a customer of these providers. The Publisher is not their agent, partner, or representative.

2. WHO MAY USE THE ACTOR

2.1 Eligibility

You may use the Actor only if:

• (a) You are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction
• (b) You have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
• (c) You are not located in or resident of a country subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, or Israel
• (d) You are not on any prohibited persons list

2.2 User Representations

By using any Actor, you represent and warrant that:

• (a) Truthful identity: Information you provide about your identity and intended use is accurate
• (b) Lawful intent: Your intended use complies with applicable law in your jurisdiction
• (c) Source platform compliance: You will independently comply with the Terms of Service of any source platform whose data you obtain through the Actor
• (d) Data subject rights: Where Actor outputs include personal data, you will respect data subject rights under applicable law
• (e) No prohibited use: You will not use the Actor for any of the purposes prohibited in Section 4

These representations are continuous - they must remain true throughout your use.

The Actor may be used for any lawful purpose, including:

• Market research and competitive analysis
• Academic research
• Journalism and investigative reporting

4.7 Reselling the Actor's Service

• Reselling raw Actor outputs as your own data product or scraping-as-a-service
• Sharing your Apify credentials to provide third parties indirect access
• Building competing API services using Actor outputs

4.8 AI Training Without Authorization

Using Actor outputs as training data for commercial AI/ML models without separate licensing authority from the source platform.

4.9 Sensitive Targeting

• Specifically targeting or profiling based on health conditions, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political opinions, or other sensitive characteristics
• Targeting children under 16 (or local age of consent for data processing)

4.10 Privacy Law Violations

• Processing personal data of EU/UK/California/Israeli residents without complying with applicable privacy law
• Failing to honor data subject access, deletion, or objection requests
• Processing data for purposes incompatible with its publication context

5. SOURCE PLATFORM TERMS - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

5.1 Acknowledgment

The Actor accesses publicly visible data on third-party platforms ("Source Platforms") through the Third-Party API Providers (HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators). Source Platforms include LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta/Facebook, Linktree, Komi, Pillar, Linkbio, Linkme, and Amazon.

5.2 Your Sole Responsibility

You acknowledge:

• (a) You are solely responsible for ensuring your downstream use of data obtained through the Actor complies with the Source Platform's Terms of Service
• (b) The Publisher makes no representation that any specific use is permitted under any Source Platform's terms
• (c) The Third-Party API Providers, not the Publisher, bear responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection itself
• (d) You should review Source Platform terms before commercial use:
  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement
  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/terms-of-service/en
  • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms
  • X: https://twitter.com/en/tos
  • Reddit: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement
  • Meta: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
  • Linktree: https://linktr.ee/s/terms/

5.3 Cease-and-Desist Compliance

If you receive a cease-and-desist letter or other legal demand from a Source Platform regarding your use of Actor outputs, you must:

• (a) Cease the contested use immediately
• (b) Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via UnseenUser's Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser)
• (c) Cooperate with the Publisher as needed to mitigate
• (d) Not assert against the Publisher any claim arising from your inability to use the Actor for that Source Platform

6. DATA PROTECTION - REFLECTING ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE

6.1 Roles Under Privacy Law

For purposes of GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law (PPL) including Amendment 13, and equivalents:

• You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes
• HarvestAPI and Scrape Creators are the entities that collect data from source platforms - they bear the responsibilities of data processors or controllers (depending on context) for the collection itself
• The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor, because the Publisher does not store, retain, or substantively process personal data - the Actor merely passes API responses through

6.2 No Data Retention by the Publisher

The Publisher confirms:

• (a) The Publisher does not maintain a database of personal data obtained through the Actor
• (b) The Actor passes data from the Third-Party API directly to you on the Apify platform - data does not flow through the Publisher's infrastructure
• (c) Apify's standard execution and operational logging may include limited information about Actor runs (input parameters, run duration, data volume) - this is governed by Apify's own privacy practices
• (d) The Publisher does not access, view, or analyze your Actor outputs except as needed for technical support if you specifically share them with the Publisher

6.3 Your Obligations as Data Controller

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for:

• (a) Establishing a lawful basis for your processing (consent, legitimate interest with documented balancing test, contract, etc.)
• (b) Providing transparent notice to data subjects as required by applicable law
• (c) Honoring data subject access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability requests
• (d) Implementing appropriate security measures
• (e) Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments where required
• (f) Appointing a Data Protection Officer if your operations require one
• (g) Registering databases with applicable supervisory authorities
• (h) Honoring opt-out requests for direct marketing
• (i) Cross-border transfer safeguards where data crosses borders

6.4 Israel's Amendment 13 - User Compliance

If your use of the Actor involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025). These obligations are yours as the data controller, not the Publisher's as the software vendor.

6.5 Sensitive Data Targeting Restrictions

You will not use the Actor to specifically target, profile, or build datasets focused on:

• Health or medical conditions
• Religious beliefs
• Political opinions
• Sexual orientation or gender identity
• Genetic or biometric data
• Criminal history
• Children under 16

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 Actor Code

The Actor's source code, schemas, documentation, and branding are owned by the Publisher. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Actor for permitted purposes during your active subscription/run with Apify.

7.2 Output Data

The Publisher claims no ownership over the public data the Actor returns. Source Platforms may have copyright, database rights, or other rights in their data; data subjects may have copyright in user-generated content. Your use of output data must respect these rights independently.

7.3 Restrictions

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or reuse the Actor's code in a competing actor.

7.4 Feedback

Feedback you provide may be used by the Publisher to improve products without compensation to you.

8.3 No Refunds for Misuse

If your access is suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms, you forfeit any unused balance and are not entitled to refunds.

9. SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

9.1 No Uptime Guarantee

The Actor depends on:

• (a) The Apify platform
• (b) Underlying API providers (HarvestAPI, Scrape Creators)
• (c) Source Platforms' continued public accessibility

Any of these may change behavior, restrict access, or become unavailable without notice. The Publisher makes no uptime guarantees.

9.2 Service Discontinuation

The Publisher may discontinue any Actor at any time. Reasonable notice will be provided when feasible.

10. DISCLAIMERS

10.1 "AS IS" Service

THE ACTOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF DATA.

10.2 No Representation of Lawfulness

🛡️ Actor-Specific Terms of Service Addendum

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0. By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum.

A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls TWO HarvestAPI endpoints in parallel (/linkedin/post-comment-replies + /linkedin/comment-reactions), combines the results into a structured output, and returns the combined data to you on the Apify platform. UnseenUser does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned. The data flows from HarvestAPI through Apify's runtime directly to you.

B. Nature of Data Returned

This Actor returns: all replies to a specific LinkedIn comment (with full author info, reply timestamps, nested reaction counts) + the complete reactor list for the same comment (LIKE, CELEBRATE, SUPPORT, LOVE, INSIGHTFUL, FUNNY with reactor identity).

Where the Actor's output includes individual people's names, photos, contact details, or content authored by them, that data constitutes personal data subject to GDPR, CCPA, Israeli Privacy Protection Law, and equivalent privacy laws in your downstream processing - but only in your hands as the data controller, not in UnseenUser's hands as the software vendor.

C. Permitted Use Cases

• Community management - drill into a controversial or important comment to understand the full thread
• Crisis monitoring - when one comment goes negative on your CEO's post, get the full picture instantly
• Journalism - investigate viral threads or contested statements at depth
• Academic research - analyze conversation dynamics around a specific comment
• Customer-feedback intelligence - surface comments on your product posts that drove the most response
• Influencer analysis - identify which of your commenters drove the most secondary engagement
• Legal evidence preservation - capture the full state of a thread (replies + reactors) for litigation hold

D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

• Build cold-DM tools targeting commenters who engaged with sensitive content
• Republish individuals' replies outside the original LinkedIn context for commercial purposes
• Build "who reacted to this comment" databases for sale
• Use reaction data to identify and harass individuals whose views you disagree with
• Track reactions to bereavement, illness, or layoff comments to identify vulnerable people for commercial targeting
• Aggregate reply/reactor data across many comments to profile individuals without consent
• Use sensitive engagement (e.g., LOVE on a layoff post by HR personnel) to make inferences for hiring or commercial decisions about named individuals

E. Platform Terms of Service Considerations

LinkedIn restricts engagement-data extraction more aggressively than profile data - reactions and comments are "real-time pulse" data LinkedIn considers strategic. The Reactions endpoint specifically returns profile URLs in opaque profile ID format (e.g. linkedin.com/in/ACoAAA8BYqEBCGLg...) rather than human-readable slugs - this is by LinkedIn's design and not a bug. If LinkedIn issues a cease-and-desist, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser).

F. Reactor Identity - Opaque IDs by LinkedIn Design

Per LinkedIn's design, the Comment Reactions endpoint returns profile URLs in opaque profile ID format (e.g., https://linkedin.com/in/ACoAAA8BYqEBCGLg_vT_ca6mMEqkpp9nVffJ3hc). The reactor's name, position, and pictureUrl are still returned, but the readable profile URL slug is NOT available from this endpoint alone.

You may NOT resolve these opaque IDs to readable profile URLs at scale by calling the Profile endpoint for every reactor. This pattern:

• Drives up costs significantly (additional API call per reactor)
• Creates the type of aggregation profile that LinkedIn specifically targets in litigation
• Risks tripping LinkedIn's anti-scraping detection
• May violate GDPR data minimization principles

If you need readable URLs for a specific reactor (e.g., for journalism or due diligence), resolve them one at a time as needed, not in bulk.

G. Comment-Thread Copyright

Each reply is independently copyrighted by its author. The same fair-use / non-republication rules apply as with parent comments:

• Quote with attribution: typically fair use
• Aggregate metrics: no copyright issue
• Republish verbatim in commercial products: NOT permitted
• Use for AI training without proper licensing: NOT permitted

H. Reactor Lists - Heightened Privacy Concern

A reactor list tied to a specific comment is PERSONAL DATA mapping individuals to their expressed opinions. This is more sensitive than a like-count because it names individuals. Use with care:

• Don't aggregate reactor lists across many comments to profile individuals
• Don't sell or share reactor lists as a commodity
• Don't use reactor lists for cold outreach in jurisdictions requiring prior opt-in (EU, Israel, Canada, Germany particularly)
• A "list of people who reacted with LOVE to a CEO's controversial comment" is intelligence - but using it for commercial outreach without compliant consent is non-compliant under GDPR/Israeli/CCPA frameworks

I. Sensitive-Engagement Patterns

Some comments attract particularly sensitive engagement:

• Replies disagreeing with layoff announcements - repliers may be the laid-off employees themselves
• Comments on illness disclosures - repliers often share their own health situations
• Crisis-comment threads - repliers reveal political/social views in heated discussion
• Bereavement-post comments - replies contain intimate emotional content

Do NOT use this Actor to harvest engagement on such threads for downstream commercial use without explicit consent of the engagers. Public visibility on LinkedIn does NOT equal lawful basis for downstream commercial processing under GDPR/CCPA/Israeli Privacy Law.

J. Reaction-Type Semantic Sensitivity

LinkedIn reaction types each carry meaning beyond a binary like:

• LIKE - neutral acknowledgment
• CELEBRATE - strong positive endorsement
• SUPPORT - emotional/moral solidarity
• LOVE - strong personal connection
• INSIGHTFUL - intellectual agreement
• FUNNY - humor reaction (can be inappropriate on serious posts)

The reaction type itself is meaningful behavioral data. Aggregating these patterns to label individuals (e.g., "always reacts FUNNY to layoff posts" → flagged as a problematic employee) is high-sensitivity automated decision-making under GDPR Article 22, requiring specific lawful basis.

K. Litigation Evidence Use

This Actor's combined output (replies + reactors) is useful for litigation evidence preservation. If you use it for this purpose:

• Document chain of custody (when scraped, by whom, parameters used)
• Preserve the raw JSON output, not just summaries
• Note that LinkedIn data is not authoritative evidence by itself - you may need to authenticate via LinkedIn's compliance team or a forensic process for court use
• Be aware that retaining personal data for litigation purposes still requires GDPR Article 6(1)(f) lawful basis (legitimate interest in establishing/defending legal claims under Article 6(1)(f) and Recital 47)

L. Cross-Endpoint Aggregation Limit

While this Actor combines two endpoints in one run (replies + reactors for one comment), do NOT aggregate the combined output across many comments to build broader profiles. Specifically:

• A list of repliers + reactors for ONE comment: bounded, useful
• A list of repliers + reactors across MANY comments by the same author: profile-building, high risk
• A list of repliers + reactors across MANY comments by MANY authors involving the same individuals: data broker territory

The line between "comment-thread analysis" (permitted) and "people search database" (prohibited) is drawn around aggregation across multiple comment threads involving the same individuals.
