Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### LinkedIn Profile Posts scraper Our powerful tool helps you gather posts from LinkedIn profiles or companies without compromising security or violating platform policies. Extract full post data, engagement metrics, and additionally scrape reactions and comments. This greatly helps with engagement analysis and outreach purposes. #### Key Benefits - No cookies or account required: Access profile data without sharing cookies or risking account restrictions - Low pricing: $2 per 1k posts. - Fast response times deliver data in seconds 🚀 - No caching, fresh data. - Concurrency: the actor scrapes 6 profiles/companies at a time. ### How It Works Simply provide one of the following: - `targetUrls` List of LinkedIn profile/company URLs who posted or re-posted the content. Additional content: - `scrapeReactions` - Enable to scrape reactions to posts. Default is `false`. Reactions will be charged as a separate post and pushed into the dataset. Each post will also contain a nested list of its own reactions. - `maxReactions` - Maximum number of reactions to scrape per post. If you set this to 0, it will scrape all reactions. - `scrapeComments` - Enable to scrape comments to posts. Default is `false`. Comments will be charged as a separate post and pushed into the dataset. Each post will also contain a nested list of its own comments. - `maxComments` - Maximum number of comments to scrape per post. If you set this to 0, it will scrape all comments. Other params (optionally): - `maxPosts` - Maximum number of posts to scrape per each search query. This overrides `scrapePages` pagination. If you set this to 0, it will scrape all posts. - `postedLimitDate` - Scrape posts from now up to and including this date. It supports the [Date time string format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date#date_time_string_format). For example, "2011-10-10", or "2011-10-10T14:48:00.000+09:00" or a timestamp: "628021800000". - `includeQuotePosts` - Toggle to filter out quote posts (shared posts with comments). By default, all posts are scraped. - `includeReposts` - Toggle to filter out reposts (shared posts without comments). By default, all posts are scraped. **If you want to search post by text queries or more advanced filters, you can use our Post Search scraper [Linkedin Post Search Scraper](https://apify.com/harvestapi/linkedin-post-search).** #### Data You'll Receive - Post content - Author information - Social engagement metrics - Media: images, videos, and links - Content of Re-posts - Comments and reactions (if enabled, each item will be charged as a separate post) #### Sample output data Here is the example post output of this actor: ```json { "type": "post", "id": "7329207003942125568", "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/williamhgates_how-better-data-helped-us-cut-child-mortality-activity-7329207003942125568-_gfJ", "content": "The leading causes of childhood death reveal a stark truth: Many could be prevented, and children in poor countries die from them far more often than those in wealthy ones.

Example: `https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/` will fetch posted or re-posted content by Bill Gates. ## `maxPosts` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of posts to scrape per each profile or company. Default is 10. This overrides pagination. If you set this to 0, it will scrape all posts. ## `postedLimit` (type: `string`): Fetch posts no older than X time. Options: '24h', 'week', 'month'. ## `postedLimitDate` (type: `string`): Scrape posts from now up to and including this date. It supports the [Date time string format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date#date_time_string_format). For example, "2011-10-10", or "2011-10-10T14:48:00.000+09:00" or a timestamp: "628021800000" ## `includeQuotePosts` (type: `boolean`): Include quote posts (shared posts with comments). By default, all posts are scraped. ## `includeReposts` (type: `boolean`): Include reposts (shared posts without comments). By default, all posts are scraped. ## `scrapeReactions` (type: `boolean`): Scrape reactions of posts. ## `maxReactions` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of reactions to scrape per post. Default is 5. ## `postNestedReactions` (type: `boolean`): Whether to add reactions items inside post items. In a case of hundreds of reactions, the Actor might hit the max item size limit and won't be able to save a post. ## `scrapeComments` (type: `boolean`): Scrape comments of posts. ## `maxComments` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of comments to scrape per post. Default is 5. ## `commentsPostedLimit` (type: `string`): Fetch comments no older than X time. Options: '24h', 'week', 'month'. ## `postNestedComments` (type: `boolean`): Whether to add comments items inside post items. In a case of hundreds of comments, the Actor might hit the max item size limit and won't be able to save a post. ## Actor input object example ```json { "targetUrls": [ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/", "https://www.linkedin.com/company/google", "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/microsoft-events_microsoft-build-has-arrived-in-seattle-and-ugcPost-7329991434395160578-GnK7/", "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7391573088309534720/" ], "maxPosts": 5, "includeQuotePosts": true, "includeReposts": true, "scrapeReactions": false, "maxReactions": 5, "scrapeComments": false, "maxComments": 5 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
