Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- urlstring
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/williamhgates_activity-7000000000000000000-abcd
Full LinkedIn post or article URL.
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `image`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a post that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
Response
JSON, one example value per field.
The post result, or null when not found.
- authorstring
Bill Gates
Name of the post author. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.

LinkedIn URL of the post author.
- commentsinteger
17
Number of comments on the post.
- createdUtcnumber
1750516559
UTC epoch timestamp in seconds (Unix time). Multiply by 1000 for a JS Date in milliseconds. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- imagestringcan require
First image attached to the post, or null when the serving source does not carry one. The query string is a signed token, so keep the URL intact.
- likesinteger
210
Number of likes on the post.
- textstring

Text content of the post. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.

Canonical URL of the post. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- foundboolean
true
Whether the post was found.
- reason"not_found"
Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.
