Run	Actor cost
100 profiles x 10 posts	$1.35
1,000 profiles x 10 posts	$13.50

How it works

1. Paste profile URLs or usernames, one per line. Both https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella and satyanadella work.
2. Set Max posts per profile. Include comments re-checks each post's comment count on the post's own page, so it is slower. It returns counts only, never comment text.
3. Click Start, then download JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Schedule it weekly to monitor prospects, executives, or creators, and webhook new posts anywhere.

LinkedIn Posts API

Everything here runs programmatically: pass a list of profiles and read their posts through the Apify API, or any Apify integration (Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks). For a direct LinkedIn API with the same data outside Apify, the same engine powers crustapi.com.

FAQ

Which fields can come back empty? headline is filled only when the item is a published article, so ordinary feed posts leave it blank. authorName is often blank on a person's own feed, where the author is the profile you searched, and that profile is on every row as profile and profileUrl. LinkedIn does not publish a share or repost count, so there is no shares field.

Is this legal? The actor only reads publicly visible posts, the same pages you can open in a logged-out browser. No login, no private data.

Do I need a LinkedIn account? No. Nothing runs through an account, so there is nothing to restrict.

Can I use the API? Yes, runs and results are fully accessible through the Apify API and all Apify integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks).
