# Scrape LinkedIn profile posts

`POST /collect/linkedin/posts`

Returns paginated posts from a LinkedIn profile. Each post carries: postUrl, text, date, likesCount, commentsCount, sharesCount, postUrn, postId, type (activity/ugcPost/share), authorName, authorProfileUrl, authorPublicIdentifier, authorProfileUrn, authorHeadline, authorImageUrl, media (images/video/document/article), isRepost, **reactionTypeCounts[] (per-reaction breakdown — LIKE / CELEBRATE / EMPATHY / INTEREST / PRAISE / APPRECIATION with counts)**, **numImpressions (when LinkedIn surfaces it — usually only for owned posts)**, **highlightedReactorName (LinkedIn's 'Liked by X' social-proof line when a viewer's connection engaged)**, **viewerLiked (whether the authenticated viewer reacted)**. Supports count, start, and paginationToken for pagination.

## Request body

- object
  - `profileUrl` string, required — LinkedIn profile identifier. Accepts PERSONAL profiles (full URLs like https://www.linkedin.com/in/username, vanity names like john-doe, or URNs like urn:li:fsd_profile:ACoAAA...) AND COMPANY pages (full URLs like https://www.linkedin.com/company/fnaim or https://fr.linkedin.com/company/fnaim). Company URLs hit the organization-updates feed; personal URLs hit the profile activity feed. Same result shape for both.
  - `count` integer — Number of posts to fetch (0-100, default 20)
  - `start` integer — Pagination offset (default 0).
  - `paginationToken` string — Pagination token from a previous response to fetch the next page.
  - `returnReposts` boolean — Include reposts/reshares in results. Defaults to false (only original posts).

    - `isRepost` boolean — True when the post is a repost/reshare of another post. Absent for original posts.

## Other responses

- `400` — The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error.

- `409` — The request conflicts with the current state of the server.

- `422` — The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.
- `429` — Rate limit exceeded. Read error.retryAfter for the wait time in seconds.
- `500` — The server encountered a situation it does not know how to handle.
