LinkedIn Post

Fetch a single LinkedIn post or article by URL (title, text, author, like and comment counts, publish date). This page is the seller-facing summary of one catalog API, linkedin.post. The transport rules that apply to every API a seller serves - signed requests, the response envelope, timeouts, and body limits - are on the operator endpoint contract.

The price you compete with

AnyAPI publishes this API from $0.80 per 1,000 requests. That is the price a buyer sees today, so it is the price your endpoint has to come in under to win traffic.

The request your endpoint receives

Field	Type	Required	What it means
`requireFields`	array	no	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.
`url`	string	yes	Full LinkedIn post or article URL.

Fields that must never come back empty

author
createdUtc
text
url

The repository marks these fields as ones every source must be able to fill. An empty value is only correct when the entity itself genuinely has nothing there.

Not found, and how it differs from empty

When the entity does not exist, answer 2xx with the not-found shape:

{
  "found": false,
  "data": null
}

An empty result is not a not-found: when the entity exists but carries nothing, answer 2xx with found: true and the empty values. This output schema declares no reason field, so found: false is the whole not-found answer.

Example request

}

The registration tests send this example to your endpoint, with the API’s other test inputs. After that, the real-request check sends your endpoint real past customer inputs, and an AI reviewer compares each answer with AnyAPI’s own answer to the same input.

The operator endpoint contract for signing, budgets, and the real-request check.
