Get one LinkedIn post

Q: Can I try it without signing up?

Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.

Q: What does it return?

One linkedin_post object. Its fields are named after the words LinkedIn prints, since LinkedIn has no official data API. A field is null when LinkedIn does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.

Q: Can an AI agent call it?

Yes: it is the MCP tool get_linkedin_post on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.

Fetch one post by its URL: its text, images, author, published_at, reaction_count and comment_count. repost_count and the reactions by kind are null: the source gives the total only. Use linkedin/comments for its comments and linkedin/reactions for who reacted.

Parameters

Parameter	What it does
`url` string · required	The post's URL: `https://www.linkedin.com/posts/…-activity-<id>-…`, or `https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<id>`. A link by the share's id works too: `urn:li:ugcPost:<id>`, `urn:li:share:<id>` or `/posts/…-ugcPost-<id>-…`.
`fresh` boolean	Skip the cache and fetch now. Charged normally. Not available on trial credits — buy any pack to unlock it. default false

Response

Returns one linkedin_post. This is the demo’s answer, the one the playground above returns, in full rather than abbreviated — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them. A call with your key returns the account you ask for.

What it costs

3 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 3 hours and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.

On the smallest pack that is $2.34 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $1.32. The full table.

Questions

How much does the LinkedIn post details API cost?

3 credits a call: $2.34 per 1,000 calls on the smallest pack and $1.32 on the largest. A call that fails costs nothing, and the refund is automatic. A cached answer costs the same as a fresh one. Credits are bought in packs and never expire; there is no subscription.

Do I need a LinkedIn account, a login or cookies?

No. You need a key from us and nothing from LinkedIn. We never take a customer's login, cookies or session, at any price, and no account of yours is ever at risk.

Can I try it without signing up?

Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.

How fresh is the data?

An answer is kept for up to 3 hours, and a cached one says when it was fetched, in meta.fetched_at. Add fresh=true to fetch it again now, at the same price; it needs any purchase, not the trial.

What does it return?

One linkedin_post object. Its fields are named after the words LinkedIn prints, since LinkedIn has no official data API. A field is null when LinkedIn does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.

Can an AI agent call it?

Yes: it is the MCP tool get_linkedin_post on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.
