/v1/linkedin/profile/comments

Returns the comments a LinkedIn member left on other people's posts, with the comment text, the post it sits under, and the timestamp.

Beta. The source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids, ISO times where the source gives a timestamp), not one of the schema-2 entities. Fields may change. See Schema 2.

Use it to track someone's activity in other conversations; post/comments returns the comments on one specific post.

50 credits per call.

Query Parameters

url*string

Full URL of the LinkedIn profile, company, or post.

urn?string

The member's opaque LinkedIn URN, as returned in author.ext.urn by /v1/linkedin/profile. Optional, and a pure optimisation: pass it ALONGSIDE url (which stays required) and this call skips the internal handle lookup, so it answers faster. Verified on the deployed API 05/09/2026.

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.
