How do I get the comments a LinkedIn member has left?
Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/profile/comments with the member's LinkedIn profile URL in the url parameter. The response returns the comments the member left on other people's posts, each with the comment text, timestamp, and a reference to the parent post.
What fields come back for each comment?
Each entry returns the comment text, the time it was posted, and a reference to the parent post the member commented on. This traces where a person engages, not just what they publish themselves.
How do I paginate through a member's comments?
Use the cursor and page parameters to page through the comments. Pass the cursor returned in the response on the next call, or increment page, until the response comes back empty and there are no more comments.
How much does the LinkedIn Comments API cost?
Each page costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, regardless of how many comments come back. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, enough for 20 pages before you upgrade.
Why pull a member's comments for social selling?
A prospect's comments are a strong engagement signal: they show which topics, people, and companies a lead actively interacts with. Use them to time outreach, find warm openings, and prioritize accounts that are already engaging in your space.
