Search › Posts
Returns public LinkedIn posts and Pulse articles matching a keyword, with each result's text, author, media, like and comment counts, and date.
Use it for broad keyword monitoring; it reads public search results, so treat coverage as best effort rather than complete.
Metered: 20–1120 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.
Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

Query Parameters
Keyword or phrase to search for. Optional when from_member or from_company is set: omit it to get that subject's posts unfiltered, and note that supplying a real content word narrows the results to posts matching it. Provide at least one of: query, from_member, from_company.
Filter to posts from one member, by their LinkedIn member urn — the bare ACoAA… value published as author.ext.urn by /v1/linkedin/profile. A profile URL, a public slug (williamhgates) or a urn:li:fsd_profile:-prefixed value is rejected, because the source cannot use any of them. Pass this on its own, with no query, to walk one member's back catalogue. Provide at least one of: query, from_member, from_company.
Filter to posts from a company, by numeric LinkedIn company id (for example 1035). A company slug or URL is rejected; read the id from author.id on /v1/linkedin/company. Provide at least one of: query, from_member, from_company.
1-based page number of Google results. Defaults to 1.
1 <= valueResult ordering: relevance (default) or date_posted. On a subject-only call (from_member or from_company with no query) the results are ordered by date and relevance is rejected, because there is no query for them to be relevant to.
Value in
- "date_posted"
- "relevance"
Date filter based on Google-indexed results. One of past_24h, past_week, past_month (underscores, not hyphens). Note the JOB lanes use past_24_hours for the same concept; the two vocabularies are not interchangeable.
Value in
- "past_24h"
- "past_week"
- "past_month"
Narrow to one kind of post.
Value in
- "videos"
- "photos"
- "jobs"
- "live_videos"
- "documents"
- "collaborative_articles"
Return up to this many posts in one call, 1 to 200. Repeating the identical call inside the 2-minute cache window is free. Requires query. Cannot be combined with page or cursor: the result always starts at the top and pagination.next_cursor is null. pagination.has_more says whether more posts were available when the call stopped, and walk.stopped says why it stopped (limit, exhausted, deadline or sources_unavailable).
1 <= value <= 200Optional. Without this param every row already carries computed.relevance against your query, free ({ p, sense, depth, spam }: is this row about what your query means, or a different thing that shares its words?), and nothing is dropped or reordered. score asks for it explicitly and waits for every row; filter also drops the rows that are not about your query, and lists their ids in data.relevance.dropped_ids. Your query is the topic; nothing to configure. A row that could not be judged is never dropped and carries relevance: null. Pagination is unchanged, so a filtered page can hold fewer rows.
Value in
- "score"
- "filter"
Optional, only with relevance. The probability (0 to 1) a row must reach to be kept by relevance=filter. Default 0.5. Lower keeps more rows, higher keeps fewer.
Optional, only with relevance. Up to 200 characters describing what you mean, used as the topic instead of the query. Use it when the query is ambiguous, for example query=cleopatra with relevant_to=Cleopatra, the IGT slot game.
Optional, on (the default) or off. By default every row gains free judgments (computed.labels, and computed.relevance on search endpoints), reported in data.labels (mode default) and data.relevance (origin default), each with a status (complete, partial or skipped) and pending: the rows still being judged when the page was sent, which carry null now and are filled on your next call or cached read. Default judgments never add credits, never change an existing field, and never drop or reorder a row. off returns the page exactly as before, with none of those keys. label=none does the same.
Value in
- "on"
- "off"
Optional. data.estimate reports rows_expected, rows_cached, label_credits_min, label_credits_max and base_credits. 0 credits charged.
Value in
- "1"
Optional. When goal, keep the rows and fields needed for the goal you pass in goal= (plus any that are uncertain, and the first and last), and replace the rest with a stub. data.held_back lists the held ids and a recall id that re-reads the full page from cache. Without this param the page is unchanged.
Value in
- "goal"
Required by fit=goal. What you are trying to do, in your own words, up to 300 characters.
Optional, only with fit=goal. Soft cap on how much of the page to keep, in tokens. Uncertain blocks and the first and last block are kept even if they exceed it.
Optional CSV of labels to add to every post. Without this param every page already carries sponsored, intent and niche, free; label= adds the labels you name to them (the defaults keep running). judgments=off (or label=none) turns the default labels off. sponsored: is the post a paid or gifted promotion (p, 0 to 1), did it carry a disclosure marker such as #ad or 광고 (disclosed), is it likely paid with no marker (undisclosed), and which of the accounts it mentions does it promote (brand, or null). These are signals to review, never a finding. mention (needs brand=): is the post about that brand rather than something that shares its name (about_brand, 0 to 1), how it feels about the brand on five levels (sentiment_level 0 to 4 and sentiment_score 0 to 1, null when the post is not about the brand), is it sarcastic, which aspect it talks about (taste_or_quality, price_or_value, availability_or_delivery, health_or_safety, advertising_or_campaign, customer_service, none), and did the author buy or use it (first_hand). intent: what the author is mainly doing (label: asking_for_recommendation, comparing_options, switching_away, complaining, promoting, news_or_discussion, other, or null when unsure, with confidence), whether they read as a potential buyer rather than a seller (buyer, seller), how pressing the need is (urgency, 0 to 3), and, when you pass offer=, whether your offer would plausibly help them (fits_offer). niche: which of the 33 niches of the published taxonomy is-niche-v1 the caption belongs to, or personal_no_niche, or other (label, confidence, taxonomy), with label null when the caption is too thin to tell or the pick is unsure. It reads the caption only, not the video. quality: how much checkable detail the caption carries (fact_density 0 to 3), whether it mainly asks for likes, replies, shares, follows or tags (engagement_bait, 0 to 1), whether it is written to provoke anger as a way to get engagement (rage_bait, 0 to 1; about the writing, never the side taken), whether it only repeats someone else's news or view (secondhand, 0 to 1), and what the post is mainly doing (post_aim: inform, opinion, sell, entertain, provoke, other). exclude=engagement_bait drops posts whose engagement_bait is 0.8 or higher. injection flags text that addresses an AI system and tries to direct it (flagged, p); it never drops or rewrites a row. A post that could not be judged carries labels: null. Posts already labelled for anyone are free. data.labels reports what was judged and billed.
Optional CSV (engagement_bait), only with label=quality. Drops posts whose engagement_bait probability is 0.8 or higher and lists their ids in data.labels.dropped_ids. A post that could not be judged is never dropped.
Required by label=mention, ignored otherwise. The brand or product the posts are judged against, up to 300 characters, for example brand=Buldak. Without it label=mention is skipped with the warning label_mention_needs_brand and is not billed.
Optional, with label=mention. One plain sentence saying what the brand is, for example brand_description=Samyang's spicy instant noodle brand. Use it when the name is also an ordinary word or another company's name.
Optional, with label=intent. One or two plain sentences saying what you sell, up to 300 characters, for example offer=A web design agency that builds websites for small businesses. Adds fits_offer to every post; without it fits_offer is null.
Optional, only with label=. When 1, every labelled row also carries computed.labels_evidence. = { quote, sentence_index }: the sentence in the row that most clearly shows the label, copied verbatim. Absent or null when no single sentence shows it.
Value in
- "1"
