[ FAQ ]

LinkedIn Profile Posts API questions

How do I get the LinkedIn posts of a specific person?

Send the slug after /in/ in their profile link as publicId. Each call returns up to 100 posts, newest first, with text, images, shared links, publish date and engagement counts.

Can I monitor what a prospect or creator posts on LinkedIn?

Yes. Call the endpoint on a schedule and keep the posts you have not seen before. Sales teams use it to find a reason to reach out, and marketers to follow the creators they work with.

Can I see which of someone’s posts performed best?

Each post carries its reaction, comment and share counts, so you can sort a member’s posts by engagement or average them to compare creators.

Can I get all of someone’s LinkedIn posts, including old ones?

Yes. Each call returns up to 100 posts, newest first. To get the next, older page, send the nextCursor from the response back as cursor, and repeat until nextCursor is null. That walks back through the member’s whole post history, years back.

How do I use the LinkedIn Profile Posts API?

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/get-posts/from-profile with publicId in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.linkedin.getPostsFromProfile(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the linkedin_get_posts_from_profile tool.

How much does the LinkedIn Profile Posts API cost?

Costs 1 credit per result returned, with a minimum of 1 credit per request. Credits cost $2.00 per 1,000 on pay-as-you-go and as low as $1.00 per 1,000 at volume. New accounts on a business email start with 100 free credits, and failed requests are never charged.
