Input

Input settings for LinkedIn Keyword & Hashtag Post Discovery Scraper
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat 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.

More input settings for LinkedIn Keyword & Hashtag Post Discovery Scraper
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat 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

MCP (AI agents)

      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

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.

Cost of LinkedIn Keyword & Hashtag Post Discovery Scraper results by Apify plan
Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 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.

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.
