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:

Accepted URL formats

The actor accepts any of:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/{user}_{slug}-activity-{id}-{hash}
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:{id}/
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:{id}/
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:{id}/
urn:li:activity:{id}

Query strings (e.g. ?actorCompanyId=...) are stripped automatically.

Input

{
"postUrls":[
"https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7444032259956903936/",
"https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7441772941413085184/"
],
"maxPosts":10
}

Output (per post)

{
"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7444032259956903936/",
"urn":"urn:li:activity:7444032259956903936",

"author_name":"Saranya Balachandran",
"author_headline":"Content Marketer & Strategist...",
"author_profile_url":"https://in.linkedin.com/in/saranya-balachandran-69443720",
"author_profile_image":"https://media.licdn.com/...",
"author_is_company":false,
"reactions_count":27,
"comments_count":5,
"reposts_count":null,

]
}

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_relative is 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 from post_id (LinkedIn ids encode the creation millisecond in the upper bits) or from your scrape time minus the relative interval.
