Agent skill

edges-linkedin-extract-people-post-activity — ready-made instructions for coding agents calling this endpoint.

To run LinkedIn actions, you must first create an identity and connect a LinkedIn account, either using our Chrome Extension, username/password login, or Managed Accounts to run without connecting an account.

Async action calls automatically handle pagination through the X-AUTO-PAGINATE header, iterating over all pages of results and sending batches to your callback URL. You can limit the total number of results with the parameters.max_results param (see “Body” section).

Callback Delivery: Both async and schedule modes deliver results via the callback URL provided in your request.Consistent Format: All execution modes use the same action logic, so inputs and results are identical regardless of mode.Error Handling: Errors follow the standard API error format.

Using async and schedule modes, you have to implement some kind of callback management. Be sure to check the Managing Callbacks guide to better understand how it works and what your can do.

Understanding Author Fields

The response includes three different author-related fields that help you understand the post structure:

`activity_author`

The person who performs the activity (e.g., the person who reshared, commented, or reacted). For original posts, this is the same as author. For reshares, this is the person who shared the content.

`author`

The author of the first-level post (the visible post you see directly). This is the person or company whose post appears in the activity feed.

`source_post`

Contains information about the source post (2nd level) when the visible post is a reshare. This object includes:

author: The author of the source post that was reshared
linkedin_post_id: The source post’s ID
linkedin_post_url: The source post’s URL
content_text: The source post’s content

Note: source_post returns null if there is no 2nd level post (i.e., the visible post is an source post, not a reshare).

Example Structure

For an original post:

author → Author of the post
activity_author → Same as author (they created the post)
source_post → null (no source post to reference)

For a reshare without comment:

author → Author of the reshared post
activity_author → Person who performed the reshare activity
source_post.author → null (no source post to reference)

For a reshare with comment:

author → Author of the post, same as the activity_author
activity_author → Person who performed the reshare activity
source_post.author → Author of the reshared post

For a reshare without comment of a post sharing another post:

author → Author of the reshared post (first level)
activity_author → Person who performed the reshare
source_post.author → Author of the source post shared by the first level (second level)
