LinkedIn Posts Parser

Apify Actor for searching a hosted LinkedIn posts dataset. The Actor calls the API, forwards the selected filters, and saves each returned post as one dataset item.

Use it to find hiring posts, monitor niche keywords, export posts with links, discover fresh low-competition discussions, or search inside parsed comments.

Core Use Cases

Hiring Post Discovery

Find posts that look like job openings or active hiring announcements.

{
"query":"software engineer",
"isHiring":"true",
"sortBy":"newest"
}

Fresh Low-Competition Posts

Find recent posts with few comments so you can engage early.

{
"query":"product strategy",
"maxComments":5,
"postedWithinHours":24,
"sortBy":"newest"
}

Hashtag And Comment Monitoring

Search by hashtags and parsed comments.

{
"hashtags":["hiring","ai"],
"commentQuery":"interested",
"hasComments":"true",
"sortBy":"hot"
}

High-Engagement Research

Find top-performing posts in a niche.

{
"query":"startup fundraising",
"minLikes":50,
"sortBy":"top"
}

Dataset Export

Use limit and offset to export filtered pages into your own workflows.

{
"query":"product manager",
"limit":100,
"offset":100
}

Input Filters

Empty fields are ignored. The API combines provided filters with AND logic, except hashtags, where any requested hashtag can match.

Boolean filters are strings in the Actor input schema so users can keep the filter unset with "" / Any. The Actor converts "true" and "false" to booleans before sending the API request.

Output Dataset Format

Each dataset item is one post returned from the API.

Parsed comment objects can contain:
