postUrlsarrayoptionalSpecific LinkedIn post links to extract (any format: /posts/...-activity-..., share, ugcPost, or /feed/update/urn:li:...). Used in the "Specific post URLs" mode.
maxPostsPerCompanyintegeroptionalMaximum posts to return per company. LinkedIn itself stops a company's post history at 500 posts and one year; deeper older posts are reachable only through the public search index.
postTypesarrayoptionalWhich post media types to keep. Leave empty to keep every type.
includeEmployeePostsbooleanoptionalThe public company page mixes a few featured employee posts into its recent feed. Turn this on to include them; off returns the company's own posts (including its showcase/sub-brand pages) only.
includeIndexedPostsbooleanoptionalAlso search the public web index for older company-authored posts. This finds more posts than the company page shows, but coverage depends on the search index.
datePostedstringoptionalKeep only posts published within this window. Applied to each post's real publish date.
postedAfterstringoptionalOnly posts published on or after this date. Accepts YYYY-MM-DD or an ISO date-time.
postedBeforestringoptionalOnly posts published on or before this date. Accepts YYYY-MM-DD or an ISO date-time.
minReactionsintegeroptionalSkip posts with fewer than this many reactions.
minCommentsintegeroptionalSkip posts with fewer than this many comments.
sortBystringoptionalHow to order the returned posts. Recent = newest first, Popular = most reactions first.
includeRepostsbooleanoptionalWhether to include reposts (posts the company reshared from someone else).
hydratePostsbooleanoptionalOpen each post's public page for the full text, exact publish time, top comments and media. Turn off for a faster, lighter run.
includeReactionBreakdownbooleanoptionalAlso return the per-reaction-type breakdown and the repost (share) count when LinkedIn serves the richer public layout. Slightly slower.
includeDocumentDetailsbooleanoptionalFor document (PDF/PPTX) posts, also return the original PDF link, page images and the per-page text transcript.
monitorModebooleanoptionalReturn only posts that were not returned by a previous run with the same settings. Useful for scheduled monitoring.
languagestringoptionalPreferred content language used when requesting LinkedIn pages.
cookiestringoptionalKept for backward compatibility with older saved tasks. The actor is 100% cookieless; any value here is ignored.

LinkedIn Company Page Post & Engagement Extractor

Pull the public post history off any LinkedIn company page — captions, media, article links, hashtags, mentions, engagement counts and the top comments — without cookies or a login. Give it company URLs or bare slugs (one or many), and it returns one clean record per post: the company's own recent posts from its public page, plus deeper company-authored history found through the public search index.

What this actor does

  • Company page feed: reads the public recent-post feed of each company page (up to 10 posts, mixing in a few featured employee posts — employee posts are excluded by default and can be included with a toggle).
  • Deeper indexed history: optionally searches the public web index for older company-authored posts, so you can go past what the page itself shows. Coverage depends on that index; the actor reports how many posts each source contributed.
  • Full post details: each post's public page is opened for the complete text, exact publish time, top comments, follower count and media (images, video, documents). Turn detail fetching off for a faster, lighter run.
  • Documents: document (PDF/PPTX) posts expose the title, page count, and — when requested — the original PDF, page images and the per-page text transcript.
  • Filters that actually apply: post type, recency window, exact date range, minimum reactions/comments, reposts on/off, and sort by newest or most reactions. The legacy cookie field is accepted but ignored.
  • Empty fields are omitted — you will never see null or an empty string in a record.

FAQ

Does this actor need cookies or a LinkedIn login?

No. Everything is collected from public pages without any account, cookie or API key. The legacy cookie input is accepted for compatibility with older saved tasks and ignored.

Why does a company return fewer posts than I expected?

A company page's public feed only shows its latest handful of posts (up to 10 cards). Turn on Include indexed posts to search the public web index for older company-authored posts — that usually finds more, but its coverage varies by company. LinkedIn itself stops a company's full post history at 500 posts and one year.

Can it read the company's "Posts" tab with pagination?

No — LinkedIn requires a sign-in for that tab, and it stays behind the login page from every connection type we tested. The actor works from the public recent feed plus the public search index instead, and says so in the run summary when a company's feed is not public.

Why are some dates marked postedAtApproximate?

When detail fetching is off, the publish date is derived from the post ID (accurate to about an hour). With detail fetching on (the default), the exact timestamp from the post page is used.

How many comments are returned?

Up to 10 top comments from the public post page, or up to 18 when LinkedIn serves its richer public layout (which also includes commenter profile links). LinkedIn does not expose the full comment thread to logged-out visitors.

Why is repostsCount missing on some rows?

Share counts are only published in the richer public layout. Enable Include reaction breakdown to fetch them when available; the actor never invents a 0.

Why is a document post missing its PDF link?

The PDF, page images and transcript are only fetched when Include document details is on. Without it, document posts still include the title and page count.

Do I need to set up a proxy?

No. The actor chooses a working connection to LinkedIn and the search index automatically. Just fill in the input and run it.

Is this affiliated with LinkedIn?

No, this is a third-party actor that reads publicly available pages. LinkedIn® is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation.
