About this endpoint

GET /v2/linkedin/people/{entityId}/posts takes the person entityId in the path. Get that id from GET /v2/linkedin/profiles (data.profile.entityId) or GET /v2/linkedin/people/resolve. Optional query: cursor or start (not both). Branch on data.lookupStatus before you write — found vs not_found. When found, rows are in data.activities. Continue with data.page.nextCursor when data.page.hasMore is true.

Company feeds stay on GET /v1/linkedin/companies/posts. The person identity card is GET /v2/linkedin/profiles. A single post or article permalink is GET /v1/linkedin/posts. Keyword discovery is GET /v1/linkedin/posts/search. Pricing is on the OpenAPI registry for this route — trust meta.creditsCharged.

LinkedIn profile posts API FAQ

How do I list LinkedIn profile posts via API?

Call GET /v2/linkedin/people/{entityId}/posts with your Social Fetch API key (x-api-key) and a person entityId. Optionally pass cursor or start. Read data.lookupStatus, data.activities, and data.page in the JSON response. See the API docs for parameters.

How much does the LinkedIn profile posts endpoint cost?

This v2 route is a flat completed-lookup price (see the credits blurb on this page). Always trust meta.creditsCharged on the response over a spreadsheet estimate.

What identifier does the LinkedIn profile posts endpoint accept?

A person entityId in the path. Resolve it from GET /v2/linkedin/profiles or GET /v2/linkedin/people/resolve. Company page URLs do not belong here — use GET /v1/linkedin/companies/posts for those feeds.

What fields are in each LinkedIn profile activity?

Coverage follows what is publicly visible on that person's activity. Use the API docs outline for the typed activity record. Do not assume v1 post-card field names.

Profile posts vs company posts vs single post lookup?

Use this route for a person feed after you have entityId. Use GET /v1/linkedin/companies/posts for a company page feed. Use GET /v1/linkedin/posts when you already have a post or article permalink. Use GET /v1/linkedin/posts/search when you have a keyword and need candidate permalinks.

How does pagination work?

Send cursor or start, not both. When data.page.hasMore is true, pass data.page.nextCursor as cursor on the next call for the same entityId.

What happens when a LinkedIn profile has no public posts?

The call returns a typed lookupStatus of not_found when nothing usable came back. Keep meta.requestId if you need to retry or escalate that row.
