POST
LinkedIn — single post by URL

Authorizations

x-api-key
string
header
required

Independent Scraper API key (scrape_live_*). Generate one in the Scraper dashboard.

Body

application/json
url
string
required

URL of the post on the platform. The canonical form is recommended but not required: query strings and a missing scheme are accepted, as is twitter.com for an X post. Whatever you send is echoed back verbatim in postPage, so normalise it yourself if you key on that field.

Example:

"https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast/video/7651447222449556767"

include_transcript
boolean
default:false

Set true to request a transcript from the normalized single-post details endpoints that support one (TikTok, YouTube, Facebook). The Instagram normalized endpoint always returns transcript: null; use the separate /api/v1/scrape/instagram/transcript platform operation when spoken content is needed. That request is slower and costs one additional platform-operation credit. Snapchat, X and LinkedIn do not support transcript retrieval. The response field is null when a transcript is unavailable or not requested.

include_comments
boolean
default:false

Set true to request a sample of the post's comments in topComments, plus its pinned comments in pinnedComments. Supported on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Snapchat, X, and LinkedIn do not support comment retrieval and always return topComments: null, even when the flag is supplied. This returns a SAMPLE capped per platform (YouTube 20, Facebook 10, TikTok up to 50, Instagram one page of about 12-15 newest-first), in the platform's own feed order rather than sorted by likeCount, and never the full thread — see the topComments field for details. Pin state is resolved on YouTube only. Costs no extra credits.
