API referenceLinkedIn
LinkedIn details (v1)
One LinkedIn post, in the standard content shape.
Reads a single post from its URL, including its engagement counts.
Where the post is a repost, the original author's post is resolved and returned rather than the empty wrapper, so a repost is never mistaken for a post with no content.
