Home › Monitoring and research › LinkedIn posts scraper
Who it is for: Social selling and brand-monitoring teams, content researchers, recruiters and AI agents.
LinkedIn search needs a login and hides most results. Tracking what a competitor posted this month, or which posts about a topic got traction, means scrolling by hand.
Give search phrases, company or profile URLs. Filter by date window. Each run returns one row per post with text, likes, comments, media type, hashtags and author type. Author names are left out of the sample on this page.

| This actor | harvestapi/linkedin-post-search | |
|---|---|---|
| Fields per post (10-13 test) | 38 (22 filled) | 49 (37 filled) |
| Price per 1,000 posts (list, 10-13) | $1.50 | $2.00 free / $1.50 Gold |
| Median run (25 posts) | 47.9 s | 3.3 s |
Same-input runs on 2026-10-13. The leader is much faster and fills more fields; we are cheaper only at the free tier. We say so plainly.
Public posts only. It is slower than the leader (tens of seconds per run). A search with no matches ends as a failed run with the message "No posts found" instead of an empty success.
Pay per result on Apify, no subscription: $1.5 per 1,000 posts on the free plan, lower on paid plans, plus $0.00005 per run start. The live price is on the actor page.
Does it need cookies?
No. It reads public posts only.
Why is it slower than some alternatives?
It finds posts through public search and reads each page. Use it when price and no-login matter more than speed.
Disclosure: we build and maintain this actor. Public data only. Rival figures were measured by us on the date shown and prices change; the Store page is authoritative.
