[ FAQ ]

LinkedIn Profile Comments API questions

How can I see what someone has commented on LinkedIn?

Send the slug after /in/ in their profile link as publicId. You get their comments, each with its text, time, a link to it and the post it was left on, up to 100 per call.

Why track a person’s LinkedIn comments?

Comments show what a prospect or creator pays attention to, often more than their own posts do. Sales teams use them to open conversations, and recruiters to understand a candidate’s interests.

How do I get more of someone’s LinkedIn comments?

Send the nextCursor from the response back as cursor to get the next, older page, and repeat until nextCursor is null.

How do I use the LinkedIn Profile Comments API?

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

How much does the LinkedIn Profile Comments 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.
