LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper

LinkedIn Profile Posts Scraper — Full Post History by Profile URL

Get a person's public LinkedIn posts from their profile URL: up to 1,000 posts per profile, newest first, each with full text, date, reactions (total and by type), comments, shares, images, video, articles, hashtags and mentions. No LinkedIn login, no cookies. Works with the Apify API, schedules and MCP agents.

What you get and why it matters

You send	You get	Why it helps
One or more linkedin.com/in/... URLs or bare handles	One row per post: text, date, reactions, comments, shares, media, hashtags, mentions, post type, repost flag, author name and headline	Track what founders, prospects and creators publish and which posts get traction
Optional filters	Only posts from the last N days, with at least N reactions or comments, only new since your last run, authored posts only	Pay only for the posts you actually keep

Posts are fetched 100 at a time and up to five profiles run at the same time, so a 100-profile list finishes in minutes. Duplicates, filtered posts, empty or private profiles and failed lookups are never billed.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Exact Actor: khadinakbar/linkedin-profile-posts-scraper. Give an agent one or more profile URLs; it receives flat rows plus a run summary (OUTPUT) with outcome (COMPLETE, PARTIAL, VALID_EMPTY, UPSTREAM_FAILED, INVALID_INPUT), counts and stop reason.

Get the last 30 days of posts from this LinkedIn profile, keep only posts with 50+ reactions, and summarize the main topics and what drove engagement.

API example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/linkedin-profile-posts-scraper').call({
  profileUrls: ['https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/'],
  maxPostsPerProfile: 100,
  maxAgeDays: 30,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, items[0]);

Honest limits

• Public posts only; private profiles, deleted posts and anything behind a login are not returned.
• Counts are those shown on LinkedIn when the post was read.
• It returns what LinkedIn shows publicly for the profile; a person with 12 public posts returns 12 rows.
• If the full source is unavailable, the Actor falls back to a thin preview (up to 5 posts, no counts, dataDepth: preview) instead of failing.
• Not a comment, member or follower scraper.

FAQ

Can I pass a bare handle instead of a URL?
Yes. williamhgates is expanded to the full /in/ URL.

How many posts can I get?
Up to 1,000 per profile, newest first. Use the date or reaction filters to fetch fewer.

Am I billed for posts that fail my filters?
No. Only posts saved to the dataset are billed. Duplicates, filtered posts, empty profiles and failed lookups are free.

What if a run stops early?
Before the time limit the Actor stops starting new work, keeps every saved row and reports PARTIAL with profilesNotProcessed. Rerun the missing profiles.

Can I monitor new posts on a schedule?
Yes. Turn on onlyNewPosts and schedule the run; each run returns and bills only posts newer than the last one.

Does it return comments or who reacted?
No, it returns comment and reaction counts. It is not a comment or reactor scraper.
