What is the LinkedIn Post Likers Scraper?
The InsightSocial LinkedIn Post Likers Scraper is a free Chrome extension that exports everyone who reacted to a LinkedIn post — name, headline, profile URL, connection degree, and the exact reaction they left (Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, or Funny). Open any post, run the scrape, and the full reactions list lands in CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets.
LinkedIn shows you reactions only as an endless scrolling modal: you can see faces, but you can't select, copy, or export them. The scraper pages through that same list inside your own logged-in session and turns it into structured rows — no API keys, no cloud login, no password shared.
Why this matters: people who react to a post are the warmest audience on LinkedIn. They raised their hand on a topic. Whether it's your post (follow up while you're top of mind) or a competitor's post (their engaged audience is your prospect list), the likers list is a lead list that LinkedIn happens to publish in public.
Who is it for?
- B2B sellers and SDRs turning engagers on competitor and industry posts into warm outreach lists
- Founders and creators following up with everyone who reacted to a post that took off
- B2B marketers profiling which titles and companies engage with the topics they target
- Community builders finding the genuinely active people in niche conversations
- Recruiters sourcing candidates who react to hiring and industry posts
- Agencies reporting exactly who engages with client and competitor content
Key Benefits
- The complete list, not a sample — paginates the reactions modal until the full count is reached
- Reaction type per person — separate a casual Like from an Insightful or a Celebrate
- Connection degree built in — 1st/2nd/3rd+ next to every name for instant outreach triage
- Works on any post you can open — yours, a competitor's, or the viral post everyone in your niche saw
- CSV / Excel / JSON / Google Sheets — pivot by company, filter by degree, or pipe into your CRM flow
- Runs in your own browser session — captures only what your logged-in account already sees
How to Use LinkedIn Post Likers Scraper
Step 1: Install the Extension
Add InsightSocial from the Chrome Web Store. The icon appears in your browser toolbar after install.
Step 2: Open the Post
Click the post's timestamp (or "copy link to post") to open its permalink page — a URL like linkedin.com/posts/... or linkedin.com/feed/update/.... Any post works, including other people's.
Step 3: Open the InsightSocial Sidebar
Click the InsightSocial icon. The sidebar detects that you're on a single-post page and offers the Reactions scrape type.
Step 4: Start Scraping
Click "Start Scraping". The extension walks through the post's full reactions list; the live feed shows each reactor with their name, connection degree, and reaction badge as they're collected.
Step 5: Review Your Reactors
When the scrape completes, click "View reactors" to open the list in your InsightSocial portal — sortable and searchable, with profile links.
Step 6: Export the List
Export as CSV (drop into Google Sheets or Excel), .xlsx (native Excel), or JSON (for scripts), or send it straight to Google Sheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I see everyone who liked a LinkedIn post?
Click the reactions count on the post to open LinkedIn's modal — but it's a scroll-only list with no export. InsightSocial reads that same list through your logged-in session and exports every reactor with name, headline, profile URL, connection degree, and reaction type.
Can I scrape likers from a competitor's post?
Yes. Any post you can open in your browser works. This is the classic engagement play: people who reacted to a competitor's product announcement or a thought-leadership post in your category have self-identified as your audience.
What reaction types are captured?
All six: Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, and Funny. Each row records which one the person left, so you can prioritize — someone who marked your technical post "Insightful" is a different conversation than a drive-by Like.
How many likers can I scrape from one post?
The extension pages through the entire reactions list until LinkedIn reports no more reactors — hundreds or thousands on viral posts, and scraping is unlimited on every plan. Your monthly quota is export credits, one per exported row:
- Free plan: 500 export credits per month
- Pro Monthly: 10,000 export credits per month for $9.99/mo
- Pro Yearly: 10,000 export credits per month for $95.88/year ($7.99/mo)
Will everyone in the list have full details?
Almost all reactors include name, headline, and profile link. A small number of members with strict privacy settings can appear as "LinkedIn Member" with limited fields — the extension exports whatever LinkedIn exposes to your session for each person.
Can I also get the post's comments or content?
The Reactions scrape targets the likers list. For the discussion under the post — every comment with the commenter's name and headline — use the LinkedIn Comments Scraper on the same page. For the posts themselves — text, engagement counts, author details — use the LinkedIn Posts Scraper on a profile, company page, or your feed.
Is scraping who liked a post allowed?
Reactions are public engagement each person chose to make visible, and the extension captures only what your own logged-in account already sees — no bypassing of privacy settings. That said, LinkedIn's Terms of Service restrict automation, so keep volumes reasonable and handle the data responsibly: use it for legitimate outreach and research, and comply with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA.
