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.
The example response below is real output from this endpoint, not an illustration. Long lists and long strings are shortened to keep the page readable, and each place that happens is marked. This example took 4.2s.
