Paste LinkedIn post share links and get the full post, its exact counts, the native video and the comments shown on the page. No login, no cookies, no proxy to configure — it reads the pages LinkedIn shows to anyone. Failures are free: a closed job, a missing page or a page only members can see costs nothing and returns a row saying which.

Exact numbers, not display numbers. LinkedIn's page says "3M followers" or "10,001+ employees"; the rows carry 2,789,187 and 232,762.

Quick start

1. Press Start — the defaults are a working run.
2. Replace them with your own post share links (Share > Copy link on the post).
3. Take the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or via the API. Every row has a type; the free coverage row says what was asked for and what arrived.

What people use it for

• Brand and competitor monitoring. What a company page is posting and how each post performs, with exact reaction and comment counts, on a schedule.
• Engagement analysis. Who is commenting on a post and what they say, from the comments LinkedIn shows publicly.
• Feeding an AI agent or workflow. One flat schema, a type on every row, and a free coverage row that says what was asked for and what arrived.

What the rows look like

A post row

{
  "type": "post",
  "activityId": "7498030724533522432",
  "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/microsoft_august-2026-ai-powered-discovery-activity-7498030724533522432-IzKE",
  "author": { "name": "Microsoft", "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft", "type": "company", "followers": 29006766 },
  "text": "Curiosity drives discovery, sparking questions about how we can better understand our world ...",
  "publishedAt": "2026-08-25T14:57:11.372Z",
  "reactions": 745,
  "comments": 98,
  "mediaType": "article",
  "article": { "title": "August 2026: AI-powered discovery", "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/..." },
  "commentsShownCount": 10
}

reactions and comments are exact. With comments on, each comment LinkedIn shows on the page (about ten) is its own comment row with the commenter, their profile URL, the text, the date and its like count.

What it costs

You pay for	Price
Each post delivered	$3.00 per 1,000 posts
Add-on: each comment shown on a post	$2.00 per 1,000 comments

Free, always: a job that has closed, a company, post or article that does not exist, a page LinkedIn only shows to signed-in members, a malformed URL, every error row, the coverage row and the run summary. A run that reads nothing costs nothing.

Set Cost ceiling (USD) to stop any run before it passes a number you choose; the free summary row reports what the run actually spent.

Limits, stated plainly

LinkedIn shows its search results (people, companies, content), employee lists, reaction lists and Sales Navigator only to signed-in members, and serves member profiles to visitors only at its own discretion (measured 2026-09-02 from Apify's own exits: 35 of 50 ordinary profiles, and the refused ones stay refused). This Actor reads public pages only and never signs in, so it sells none of those — and says so here rather than on your invoice.

A public post page shows about ten comments and no repost count; the exact reaction and comment totals are always there.

Use it from n8n, MCP, the API or a schedule

Built to be called by a workflow, not only from the Store form. The Actor is vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api; every snippet below sends {}, which runs the defaults shown on the form — replace it with your own input.

n8n

Install the Apify community node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify under Settings → Community Nodes, or search "Apify" on n8n Cloud). Add Apify → Run Actor with Actor vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api and your input JSON, then Apify → Get Dataset Items on the run's defaultDatasetId and pipe the rows anywhere. For scheduled runs, the On new Apify Event trigger fires when a run of this Actor finishes.

MCP (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, any MCP client)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your agent then calls vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api as a tool with the same input the form takes and reads the dataset back.

REST API (one call, rows in the response)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vonsensey~linkedin-post-scraper-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api").call(run_input={})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api').call({});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Make, Zapier, LangChain, CrewAI

The Apify app in Make and Zapier has a Run an Actor module: pick vonsensey/linkedin-post-scraper-api. In LangChain and CrewAI the Apify tool wrappers take the same Actor id. A daily schedule needs nothing but the Console: Schedules → Create → this Actor → cron, and the dataset fills on its own.

Use cases

• Hiring-market intelligence. Which companies are hiring for which roles, where, at what seniority and since when — with the complete posting as clean text and as HTML, ready for a keyword pass or an LLM.
• Lead lists from job postings. A company hiring three data engineers is a company buying data tooling this quarter. Turn searches into a list of companies, then add their company pages in the same run — charged once per distinct company, never per job.
• Job-board and alert products. Put searches on a daily schedule with change-only billing and receive only postings you have not seen, each with the exact posted date from the listing card.
• Account research and TAM sizing. Exact member and follower counts, every office address, industry, size band, founding year, specialties and the numeric organisation id for a list of company slugs or URLs.
• Brand and competitor monitoring. What a company page and its people are posting, and how each post performs — exact reaction and comment counts on posts, profile posts and Pulse articles.

Run it on a schedule

A one-off pull answers a question; a schedule answers it every day without you. Open Schedules in the Apify Console, point a cron at this Actor, and the dataset keeps filling on its own — no server, no cron box, no babysitting. Everything here is built to be re-run: you are billed per row delivered, and the FAQ below says exactly what a scheduled run that finds nothing new costs.

FAQ

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

No. Every listing in this suite reads the pages LinkedIn shows to anyone without an account, and it never signs in, never sends a cookie and never uses a session. Everything is handled for you and there is nothing to buy on top.

Which LinkedIn surfaces are deliberately not sold here?

Search results for people, companies and content, employee lists, reaction lists, Sales Navigator, the external Apply link and the hiring team. LinkedIn shows those only to signed-in members, so no listing in this suite promises them — said here rather than discovered on your invoice.

Will every public profile come back?

No, and the price reflects it. LinkedIn serves member profiles to signed-out visitors at its own discretion — about 7 in 10 ordinary profiles on a measurement taken 2026-09-02 from Apify's own exits, and the ones it declines stay declined. A profile it refuses costs nothing and returns a free row saying so; you are charged only for profiles actually delivered.

Do the job filters actually work?

The date window, job type, Easy Apply, under-10-applicants and company filters change LinkedIn's results reliably. Since LinkedIn's August 2026 search change its experience-level and workplace filters are applied on some queries and ignored on others, so seniority and job type are re-checked against what the posting itself states and a posting that does not match is neither delivered nor billed. Workplace is passed straight to LinkedIn and is not re-checked, because the public posting carries no structured workplace field.

How many jobs can one search return?

LinkedIn's public search stops at about 1,000 results per query. To go deeper, add locations, split keywords or use a shorter date window — each combination is its own search with its own 1,000.

How many comments and posts do I get?

A public post page shows about ten comments and a company page about ten of its newest posts; the exact reaction and comment totals are always on the row. The full history and the list of everyone who reacted need a signed-in session, which this Actor does not use.

What does a scheduled search cost on a day with no new jobs?

One job-search charge per search that actually returned listings, and nothing else. Job ids already delivered for a search are remembered for 60 days and never billed again, a search that came back empty is never charged, and a company, post or article whose numbers have not moved comes back as a free unchanged row.

What happens to a job that closed or a page that does not exist?

It costs nothing. You get a free row saying which — closed, not found, or only visible to members — and the run keeps going. "All of these have closed" is a correct answer, not a failure, so the run still succeeds.
