GET socialtap.dev/v1/linkedin/post
Live data from 33 platforms.
What LinkedIn data can you get?
Public LinkedIn profiles of companies and members: a Page's industry, size, headquarters and exact follower and employee counts, a member's headline, experience, education and skills. Posts and articles come with their text, media, exact reaction and comment counts and top comments. Search companies, people and posts by keyword in a search engine's web results. See also the LinkedIn Ad Library API.
Why not the official LinkedIn API?
LinkedIn's API gives most apps only the signed-in member's own profile. Reading other members, company Pages or posts takes approval into one of its partner programs.
No approval to wait for
One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.
Anything public
Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.
No daily quota
You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.
Call the LinkedIn API from your code.
Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

Can I pass a share or UGC post link?
Yes. urn:li:share:<id> and urn:li:ugcPost:<id> are other numbers for the same post: the answer's id is its activity ID and platform_specific.linkedin.content_urn the URN of its content.
Is the employee count exact?
Yes, when the Page shows it. platform_specific.linkedin.employee_count is the exact number of members who list the company as their employer, beside the size range the Page states in company_size.
Can I search LinkedIn posts by date?
No. Results come in the web search's ranking, with no sort or date filter. published_at gives each post's exact time, so filter by it on your side.
What do I send?
A link as people share it (mobile, short or with tracking), a handle, an ID, or words to search. Each endpoint accepts every common form of its input.
Is the data live?
Yes. Every request reads the platform when you send it, unless you allow a cached answer.
What does null mean in a response?
Unknown. A field the platform doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
Are the fields the same on every platform?
Yes. 27 kinds of data have one schema each. Fields only one platform has sit under platform_specific.
What happens when a platform changes its pages?
We update our parsers. Your fields stay the same, and every endpoint's live status is public.
Do you read private or logged-in content?
No. Only public data that anyone can see without an account: no logins, no private profiles, no paywalled content.
Can my AI agent use it?
Yes. Add the MCP server and sign in with your browser, and your agent can call every endpoint. Or paste our prompt into your coding agent. The docs are also published as Markdown and llms.txt.
Try it on a LinkedIn link you have.
Get a key and send your first request in a minute. The same key works on every platform.
