Search LinkedIn Posts

The scraper uses LinkedIn's search functionality to find posts matching your keywords. It returns up to 20 posts with complete metadata including author names, profile URLs, post text, engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares), and publication dates. All data is exported to CSV or can be copied directly to Google Sheets.

You can search for any keywords related to topics, industries, technologies, or discussions. Examples include:

• "AI in marketing"
• "remote work"
• "startup funding"
• "SaaS growth"
• "digital transformation"

The scraper will find posts containing these keywords and return the most relevant results.

The scraper returns up to 20 posts per search query. This limit ensures fast results while providing enough data for most use cases. If you need more posts, you can refine your search query or run multiple searches with different keywords.

Each exported post includes:

• Post URL (direct link to the LinkedIn post)
• Author Name (name of the person who created the post)
• Author Profile URL (link to the author's LinkedIn profile)
• Post Text (full text content of the post)
• Publication Date (when the post was published)
• Likes Count (number of likes/reactions)
• Comments Count (number of comments)
• Shares Count (number of shares)

The extension works within your browser while you're logged in. It behaves like normal browsing - you're simply searching and extracting information faster than manual copy-paste. The scraper respects LinkedIn's rate limits and doesn't perform any automated actions that could violate LinkedIn's terms of service.

Currently, the scraper searches for posts by keywords across all of LinkedIn. To find posts from specific authors or companies, you can include their names in your search query (e.g., "AI in marketing by John Doe" or "remote work at Company Name").

The scraper uses LinkedIn's native search functionality, so results match what you would see if you searched manually on LinkedIn. The accuracy depends on LinkedIn's search algorithm and how well your keywords match the content of posts.

The API supports filtering by date (past 24 hours, past week, past month), sorting by relevance or date, filtering by content type (images, videos, documents), and filtering by author industry or company. Use the BeReach API with these filters for advanced searches, or simply paste a filtered LinkedIn search URL.
