linkedin-profile-posts

Q: How do I get LinkedIn data through an API?

Call POST /recipes/linkedin-profile-posts with your key and profile and limit. You get rows with the 8 fields above. The recipe is tested against the live site every 6 hours.

Q: Can I try it without paying?

Yes. Sign up with Google, GitHub or email for a free key with 1,000 credits every month. No credit card.

Q: What if the site changes?

The health check runs every 6 hours against the live site. A failing recipe shows as failing on this page until we fix it.

The posts of one LinkedIn member, newest first, one row per post: link, text (500 chars), time, likes (all reactions), comments, reposts, kind (post, repost or article) and one media link. profile = the public identifier (williamhgates) or the linkedin.com/in/ URL; limit up to 50. session (your li_at and JSESSIONID cookies, from the Crawl4AI Session extension) is optional, used for this run only and never stored. Without it you get the member's recent public posts and reposts (about 10), without repost counts and media; LinkedIn's internal id (ACoAA…) needs a session.
