GET
/v1/linkedin/profile/posts/archive

Returns a LinkedIn member's deep post archive, read from their own feed rather than a search index, with the exact publish timestamp, media and the full engagement breakdown including share counts.

It is metered per post returned, so ask for the limit you need.

Metered: 50–5000 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

url*string

The member's LinkedIn profile URL, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/.

limit?integer

How many posts to return, 1 to 100 (default 20). Pass 100 to walk the full archive: only a full page returns a next_cursor.

Range1 <= value <= 100
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 each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. 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.
