Query Parameters

url*string

Full URL of the LinkedIn post. It has to carry the post's ACTIVITY id, either https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<id> or https://www.linkedin.com/posts/<slug>-activity-<id>-<code>. Every endpoint that lists posts publishes the activity form as post.url, so copy that field rather than rebuilding the URL from post.id, which is not always the activity id.

page?integer

Page number for pagination (default 1).

Range1 <= value
post_type?string

Post type: 'activity' (default) or 'ugc'.

Value in

  • "activity"
  • "ugc"
sort_order?string

Comment ordering: 'relevance' or 'recent'.

Value in

  • "recent"
  • "relevance"
since?string

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off the page, and the page that reaches one ends the walk: next_cursor is not returned and pagination.stopped_at is since. Sending it sets the newest-first sort shown in this endpoint's sort parameter (any other sort value is a free 400). The page still costs what a page costs, so you pay for the pages you walk and no more. A row with no date is kept.

until?string

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.

cursor?string

The pagination.next_cursor from the previous page, sent back unchanged. Omit it for the first page.

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
