Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | No | auto | What to run. 'auto' searches when searchQuery/searchQueries are set and enriches when postUrls are set (both can run together). |
| searchQuery | string | No | – | Keyword, phrase, or hashtag to find in public LinkedIn posts. Examples: 'artificial intelligence', '"product launch"', '#MachineLearning'. (mode=search/auto) |
| searchQueries | array | No | [] | Additional queries to run in the same run; each is searched independently, duplicates are delivered once. Combine with Search Query. (mode=search/auto) |
| postUrls | array | No | [] | LinkedIn post or article URLs to enrich directly (activity, share, ugcPost, feed/update, /pulse/ links and country subdomains). (mode=postUrls/auto) |
| sortBy | string | No | relevance | How to order the posts that were found. 'relevance' keeps the search engine's order; 'recency' sorts the found posts by date (newest first). |
| datePosted | string | No | – | Only keep posts from this time window. |
| postedAfter | string | No | – | Only keep posts published on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty to disable. |
| postedBefore | string | No | – | Only keep posts published on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty to disable. |
| authorType | string | No | – | Keep only posts written by a person or by a company page. Applied after each post is opened, so a post whose author type cannot be determined is kept. |
| contentType | array | No | ["articles","posts","documents","videos","ima… | Keep only these post types: articles (LinkedIn articles), posts (text/reposts/polls/events), documents (PDF/PPTX document cards), videos, images. |
Show the other 18 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| minReactions | integer | No | 0 | Keep only posts with at least this many reactions. Posts whose reaction count is unknown are skipped when this is above 0. |
| minComments | integer | No | 0 | Keep only posts with at least this many comments. Posts whose comment count is unknown are skipped when this is above 0. |
| excludeReposts | boolean | No | false | When enabled, skip posts that repeat someone else's content. |
| includeUnmatched | boolean | No | false | When enabled, posts that do not show every word of your query are also returned, marked keywordMatch: false. Useful for hashtags. |
| language | string | No | en | Preferred interface language used when opening each post page (affects LinkedIn's rendered text). |
| countryCode | string | No | auto | Prefer LinkedIn posts indexed on this country's LinkedIn domain (site:xx.linkedin.com). 'auto' uses linkedin.com worldwide. |
| maxResults | integer | No | 25 | Maximum number of posts to return per run, after filters. The search index holds fewer posts for narrow queries. |
| hydratePosts | boolean | No | true | When enabled, each found post is opened so the record carries the full text, author, date, engagement counts and top comments. Turn off for faster runs with link + snippet only. |
| includeVideoTranscript | boolean | No | false | When enabled and a video post exposes a transcript on its public page, the transcript is added to the record. |
| monitorMode | boolean | No | false | When enabled, only posts that were not delivered by an earlier run with the same input are returned. Ideal for schedules. |
| emitNoResultsMarker | boolean | No | true | When enabled and a clean search finds nothing, push one marker record ({searchQuery, noResults: true}) so zero matches can be told apart from a failed run. |
| mentions | array | No | [] | Additional words added to every search query, for example a company or person name. |
| mentionsCompany | string | No | – | Company name added to the search query. Numeric LinkedIn IDs cannot be used without a session and are ignored (a note is added to the run status). |
| mentionsPerson | string | No | – | Person name added to the search query. Numeric LinkedIn IDs cannot be used without a session and are ignored (a note is added to the run status). |
| talksAbout | array | No | [] | Topics or hashtags added to the search query; each value becomes #topic. Values with a leading # are accepted as-is. |
| includeDocumentDetails | boolean | No | false | For document (PDF/PPTX) posts, also fetch the per-page transcript and page-image URLs in addition to the document URL and page count. |
| includeRepostCounts | boolean | No | false | Last-resort fallback: if the richer public guest layout was not obtained for a post, retry a few more times to catch the repost/share counts. Normally unnecessary when the guest session is active. |
| enrichSdui | boolean | No | true | Use LinkedIn's anonymous public guest session (an ephemeral cookie issued by the site, like a normal browser) to read the richer public post layout. This adds reaction-type breakdowns, up to ~18 comments with profile links, and repost counts when available. No user account or credentials are involve |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
