## FAQ

### How do I get a LinkedIn member's own posts with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/profile/posts with the member's profile URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns a feed of the posts that member authored, each with text, reaction count, comment count, share count, and media.

### How do I paginate through a member's post history?

Use the cursor parameter (or page) returned in the response to fetch older posts. Pass the cursor back on the next call to walk further down the feed until the response comes back empty.

### How much does the LinkedIn Profile Posts API cost?

Each page costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, no matter how many posts come back in that page. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, enough for 20 pages before you upgrade.

### Can I use this for engagement analytics on a person?

Yes. Because every post carries its reaction, comment, and share counts, you can compute a member's average engagement, posting cadence, and top content over their recent feed for creator or thought-leadership analytics.

### How is this different from the company posts endpoint?

This endpoint returns an individual member's authored posts from their profile URL, while /v1/linkedin/company/posts returns a company page feed. Both paginate the same way and share the same post shape.

### Is scraping LinkedIn member posts legal?

SocialCrawl reads only public LinkedIn posts any logged-out visitor can see. You remain responsible for complying with LinkedIn's User Agreement and data-protection law (GDPR, CCPA) for your use case.
