Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Scrapes public LinkedIn posts without authentication or cookies, supporting keyword-based search across LinkedIn and full post feeds from company, school, and showcase pages. Extracts post text, publish date, canonical post URL and identifier, engagement metrics (like and comment counts), up to five top comments per post, author metadata (name, profile link, follower count), and attached image/media URLs. Includes date-range filtering for searches, a pagination cursor for collecting large volumes across chained runs, and optional per-post detail enrichment that augments company-feed posts with engagement, author, and comment details. Outputs structured post records optimized for social listening, content analysis, competitor monitoring, lead discovery, and feeding conversation data into RAG/LLM pipelines.
