About

What it does

LinkedIn Posts Search Scraper (No Cookies) searches public LinkedIn posts and Pulse articles by keyword and returns one normalized record per post: post URL and activity ID, text, posting date, the author's name, profile URL, headline and follower count, like and comment counts, media type (article, document, video, image, text), image URLs and hashtags. It's built for B2B social listening, thought-leader and competitor research, lead discovery, content research and AI agents.

Price

Price per delivered record

Event	Price	Per 1,000	Charged for
LinkedIn post `linkedin-post`	$0.0008	$0.80 / 1,000	Charged once per LinkedIn post delivered as a dataset record. Query summary records are never charged.
LinkedIn search page `linkedin-posts-query`	$0.004	$4 / 1,000	Charged once per page of search results that delivered at least one new post. Covers the per-request upstream fee. Also charged for an empty page the upstream billed (when the budget covers it).

Apify free plan: up to 10 items per run. Paid plans have no per-run cap; set maxTotalChargeUsd to cap spend.

Input

Input fields

Enter keywords. Each keyword produces one dataset record per post plus one summary record per keyword.

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
`keywords` *	`array`	required	Keywords Search terms, one per line. Duplicates are removed. Accounts on the Apify free plan can process up to 10 keywords per run.
`maxPostsPerQuery`	`integer`	`20`	Max posts per keyword How many posts to return per keyword (1–200). Each delivered post is one charged event, plus one page event per results page. The upstream exposes at most 11 pages per keyword. Range 1–200.
`datePosted`	`string`	—	Date posted Only return posts that Google indexed within this window. Leave empty for any time. One of `"last-hour"`, `"last-day"`, `"last-week"`, `"last-month"`, `"last-year"`.
`maxQueries`	`integer`	`100`	Max keywords Safety cap on the number of keywords processed in this run. Range 1–1000.
`concurrency`	`integer`	`4`	Concurrency How many keywords are fetched in parallel (1–8). Range 1–8.
`itemTimeoutSecs`	`integer`	`600`	Time limit per input (seconds) Pagination for one keyword stops cleanly shortly before this limit (60–3600). Raise it for very large per-input limits. Range 60–3600.
`includeRaw`	`boolean`	`false`	Include raw upstream response Attach the unmodified provider object to each result record.

Example input

{
  "keywords": [
    "ai agents"
  ],
  "maxPostsPerQuery": 10
}
