Overview

Extract public comments from LinkedIn posts without cookies — commenter name, profile URL, comment text and relative timestamp.

Features

• Social Selling Lead Generation: find professionals commenting on competitors' posts
• Commenter identity: name + direct profile URL (the two fields you can act on)
• No Cookies Required: public extraction, no account ban risk

Input Example

{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/some-author_topic-activity-7170000000000000000-abcd"
  ],
  "maxComments": 50
}

Output Example

Every field the actor emits. authorHeadline and likesCount are always null — see Limits:

{
  "postUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/some-author_topic-activity-71700...",
  "postTitle": "Some Author on LinkedIn: …",
  "authorName": "Alexandre Dupont",
  "authorProfileUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandre-dupont",
  "authorHeadline": null,
  "commentText": "Incredible insights on multi-cloud orchestration!",
  "timeAgo": "1d",
  "likesCount": null,
  "commentCountReported": 214,
  "dataSource": "linkedin-public-post",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-27T21:54:53.550Z"
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
postUrls	string[]	List of LinkedIn post URLs
maxComments	number	Max comments across the whole run (default: 50)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy configuration

✅ Capabilities & Limits

Stated up front, so you do not pay a run to find out.

Built here: LinkedIn's public post page serves the commenter's name and profile URL, and nothing else about them. authorHeadline and likesCount are therefore null on every row. A previous build filled them with the literal string 'Industry Executive' and hardcoded like counts of 1 / 18 / 7 — values that looked measured and were not. They are null now, deliberately.

Input / feature	Supported	Notes
Public post URL	✅	postUrls
Commenter name	✅
Commenter profile URL	✅	tracking parameters stripped
Comment text	✅
Relative timestamp (timeAgo)	✅	e.g. "1d" — not an absolute date
Commenter headline / job title	❌	not served publicly — always null
Likes per comment	❌	not served publicly — always null
Replies to comments	❌	top-level comments only
Total comment count on the post	⚠️	commentCountReported is what the page states; it is usually larger than the number of comments the public page renders
Absolute publication date	❌	not emitted
Posts behind login	❌	public posts only
maxComments per post	❌	it is a whole-run budget, shared across all postUrls

Use Cases

• Social Selling Outreach — connect with professionals who commented on niche industry posts
• Competitor audience research — see who engages with rival company updates

FAQ

Q: Does it work on any public LinkedIn post? A: Any public post URL can be tried. The public page renders only a subset of a post's comments, so a post with 200 comments will not yield 200 rows.

Q: Do I get the commenter's job title? A: No. The public page does not serve it, so authorHeadline is always null. Take authorProfileUrl into a profile scraper if you need the headline.

Q: Do I get likes per comment? A: No. Always null, for the same reason.

Visão Geral

Extraia comentários públicos de posts do LinkedIn sem cookies. Cada linha traz quatro coisas que você pode usar: quem comentou, a URL do perfil dessa pessoa, o texto do comentário e há quanto tempo ele foi publicado.

Cargo, curtidas por comentário e respostas não vêm — a página pública não serve esses dados. Detalhe nos Limites.

Funcionalidades

• Geração de Leads por Social Selling: encontre quem comenta em posts de concorrentes
• Identidade acionável: authorName + authorProfileUrl sem tracking na query string
• Texto integral do comentário: commentText, mais timeAgo (relativo, ex.: "1d")
• Sem Cookies: extração pública, sem risco de suspensão de conta

Dicas

• Extraia comentários de posts de lançamentos de concorrentes para abordar leads quentes

Perguntas Frequentes

P: Funciona em qualquer post público do LinkedIn? R: Qualquer URL de post público pode ser tentada. A página pública renderiza apenas parte dos comentários — um post com 200 comentários não devolve 200 linhas.

P: Vem o cargo de quem comentou? R: Não. A página pública não serve esse dado: authorHeadline é sempre null. Use authorProfileUrl num scraper de perfil se precisar do cargo.

P: Vêm as curtidas de cada comentário? R: Não. Sempre null, pelo mesmo motivo.
