LinkedIn User Posts API

The recent posts of one account.

The LinkedIn User Posts API returns the recent posts of a public LinkedIn account: text and publish time, in the same response format as every other SocialToAI call. One call costs 2 credits ($0.004 to $0.0067 depending on the pack); failed calls are free. Call it over HTTP or from your AI client over MCP. Last tested 2026-10-17.

Every item also has platform, id, ref, approx and type; the response around the items is the same on every call. Response format

What to expect.

One call returns the first page only, up to 10 items, with no cursor, for 2 credits.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 2 credits.

1 call per second per key, 5 after a purchase; going over is not charged. Rate limits

A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. Error codes

Questions.
Short answers.

Everything on LinkedIn
Do I need a LinkedIn account or LinkedIn's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on LinkedIn; you never sign in to LinkedIn or apply for anything there.
Can I get the next page?
No. On LinkedIn this interface gives its first page only (up to 10 items): the response carries no cursor, and page.has_more is always false.
