[ FAQ ]

LinkedIn Profile Reactions API questions

Can I see which posts a LinkedIn user has liked?

Yes. Send the slug after /in/ in their profile link as publicId. Each item has the reaction they chose, the post’s text and author, and its like, comment and share counts.

How is this used in sales or recruiting?

Reactions show which topics and people someone follows closely. That gives you a relevant opener, and buying signals such as a prospect liking a competitor’s launch post.

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

Each call returns up to 100 reactions, newest first. To get the next, older page, send the nextCursor from the response back as cursor, and repeat until nextCursor is null.

How do I use the LinkedIn Profile Reactions API?

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

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.
