🔓 Free plan limit

Runs started from an Apify free plan stop after 10 results and finish normally — you still get a complete, valid dataset, just a shorter one. The run log says so explicitly:

Upgrade to any Apify paid plan to remove the 10 result limit.

On any paid Apify plan the limit is gone and the actor collects up to the Max posts per keyword you set (up to 3,000 per keyword). Nothing else changes: same fields, same speed, same features.

🚀 How to use it

Search by keyword

1. Add your keywords. Enter one or more keywords, brand names, hashtags, or phrases. You can paste many at once for bulk search.
2. Choose a target country. Enter a two-letter country code (for example us, it, gb, de, fr, in, br).
3. Set how many posts you want per keyword (from 10 up to 3,000).
4. (Optional) Pick a date range. Leave it empty to automatically collect the most recent posts.
5. Click Start ▶️ and watch your dataset fill up.

Fetch specific posts by URL

Already know which posts you want? Skip the search:

1. Paste your post URLs into the Post URLs field, one per line. Both common formats work:
   • https://www.linkedin.com/posts/<author>-activity-<id>-…
   • https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<id>
2. Click Start ▶️ — every post is fetched in parallel and returned with its complete metadata (author, text, reactions, comments, images, hashtags, mentions, publication date, and more).

You can even combine both modes in a single run: the post URLs are fetched first, then the keyword search runs. Duplicates are removed automatically.

That's it — no technical setup, no proxies to configure, no scraping knowledge needed.

⚙️ Input

Field	Description	Example
Keywords	Words, names, hashtags, or phrases to find inside LinkedIn posts. One per line; bulk paste supported. A post is matched whenever the keyword appears in its text — even when joined with other words or symbols (so enilive also matches #enilive and EniLivePassion). Multi-word keywords match posts containing all the words, in any position. Wrap a keyword in "double quotes" to require an exact phrase instead. Optional if you provide post URLs.	enilive, #sustainability, AI agents
Post URLs (direct mode)	LinkedIn post URLs to fetch directly, one per line. Skips keyword search entirely — every post is downloaded in parallel with all its metadata. Invalid URLs are rejected before the run starts.	https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7471837778893459457
Max posts per keyword	How many posts to collect for each keyword (10–3,000). Not applied to direct post URLs.	100
Target country	Two-letter country code of the market you want to target. Only used for keyword search.	it
Posted after (optional)	Only collect posts published on or after this date.	2026-06-01
Posted before (optional)	Only collect posts published on or before this date.	2026-06-16

Provide keywords, post URLs, or both — at least one of the two is required.

💡 Tips & best practices

• Be specific. Precise keywords and brand names return more relevant results than broad terms.
• Use bulk keywords to compare brands, products, or campaigns side by side in one run.
• Combine with a date range for time-bound analysis (campaign windows, event coverage, weekly monitoring).
• Match the country to your audience for the most relevant, localized results.
• Schedule recurring runs to monitor mentions automatically and build a historical archive over time.

🔗 Integrations & automation

Connect your results to the tools you already use:

• 📥 Export to CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, HTML
• 🔌 Access data through the Apify API
• 🔔 Trigger webhooks when a run finishes
• 🤝 Automate with Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, and more
• ⏰ Schedule runs hourly, daily, or weekly

❓ FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account, login, or cookies? No. This scraper works only with publicly available information and requires no credentials.

Can I scrape specific posts instead of searching? Yes. Paste the post URLs into the Post URLs field and they are all fetched directly, in parallel, with the same complete metadata as search results. Both linkedin.com/posts/… and linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:… links are accepted, and the URL format is validated before the run starts.

How many posts can I collect? On any paid Apify plan, up to 3,000 posts per keyword, per run — run multiple keywords in a single run for even more coverage. On the Apify free plan, a run stops at 10 results in total and finishes successfully; upgrading to any paid plan removes that limit.

Why did my run stop at 10 results? That is the Apify free plan limit. The run is not an error — it completes successfully with the 10 results it collected, and the log shows "Upgrade to any Apify paid plan to remove the 10 result limit." Any paid Apify plan lifts it immediately, with no change to the input or the output format.

Which countries and languages are supported? 50+ markets across North & South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, each automatically localized.

What if I don't set a date range? The scraper automatically collects the most recent matching posts.

Will I get duplicates? No. Results are automatically deduplicated, so every post appears only once.

How is a post matched to my keyword? A post is included whenever your keyword appears anywhere in its text, even when joined with other words or symbols, and regardless of letter case.

What happens with a keyword made of several words? It finds posts that contain all of those words, wherever they appear — they don't have to be next to each other. Searching ammiraglio bergotto therefore still finds a post reading "Ammiraglio di Squadra Giuseppe Berutti Bergotto". If you want a strict, word-for-word phrase, wrap the keyword in double quotes: "AI agents". Note that an exact phrase returns nothing when the words never appear adjacently.
