Which LinkedIn scraper to use
This page covers the posts on a profile, a company page or your home feed. The other LinkedIn pages are the same extension aimed at one job:
| You want | Open this on LinkedIn | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Posts with their reactions, comment counts and authors | A profile, a company page or your feed | This scraper |
| The comments on one post, with each commenter's name and headline | The post itself | LinkedIn Comments Scraper |
| Everyone who reacted to one post, with the reaction type | The post itself | LinkedIn Post Likers Scraper |
| A company's posts, with company-page details explained | The company page | LinkedIn Company Scraper |
| One person's profile as a row | Their profile | LinkedIn Profile Scraper |
Getting the author's details
Every post row carries its author: name, headline, profile link and whether the author is a company page. LinkedIn has no separate job-title or company field on a post. Both live in the headline, for example "Head of Growth at Acme", which is exported as written.
- Two columns from one. Split Author Headline on
" at "in Sheets or Excel. Headlines that don't follow the "Title at Company" pattern stay in the first column; check those by hand. - Authors from many posts at once. Scrape your home feed, or a company page whose posts are written by staff, and you get one author per post. Remove duplicates on Author Profile URL for a list of people.
- One post you already have open. The name and headline are on the post. The extension doesn't take a single post link and return its author; on a post page it offers the comments and the reactions instead.
Working with the file
- Engagement rate. Divide Reactions + Comments + Reposts by the follower count shown on the profile or company page to compare accounts of different sizes.
- What a post made people feel. The per-type columns tell a post that drew Insightful from one that drew Funny, which the total hides.
- Articles and documents. A shared article or document arrives as its title, link and description (or page count), not its full text.
- Duplicates. Running the same profile twice returns overlapping posts. Remove duplicates on Post URL.
Exporting a row you already exported, from this run or an earlier one, costs nothing.
