Get or search LinkedIn posts

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?

A list of linkedin_post objects. 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: How do I get more than one page?

Pass meta.next_cursor back as cursor, and stop when it is null. Each page is a call, priced the same. A cursor lasts as long as the answer it belongs to is cached.

Q: Can an AI agent call it?

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

Fetch recent posts by one person or company, or with query every public post with those words: text, images, video, document or article, and published_at. A person's posts also carry reaction_count (with the breakdown by kind), comment_count and repost_count; a company's carry the text and the date, with the counts null, at a much lower price. For the counts on one of them, call linkedin/post.

Response

Returns an array of 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

7 credits (3 with company_url) 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 $5.46 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $3.08. The full table.

Questions

How much does the LinkedIn posts API cost?

From 3 to 7 credits a call, depending on what you ask for: $2.34 to $5.46 per 1,000 calls on the smallest pack, $1.32 to $3.08 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 plan.

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?

A list of linkedin_post objects. 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.

How do I get more than one page?
