# Get LinkedIn post

Automatically get LinkedIn post on linkedin.com. Fetch a single LinkedIn post by its permalink. Returns url, urn, text, media, author (name, headline, url, type), postedAgo, reactions, comments, and reposts. If the URL has no post behind it — deleted, removed, or a wrong id — it says so straight away instead of stalling. Use get_post_comments for the thread and get_post_reactors for who reacted.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/linkedin.com/get_post`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/linkedin.com/get_post
```

## Input

- `url` (string, optional): Same as postUrl, under the name linkedin.com/get_company_posts returns it. Pass one of postUrl or url.
- `postUrl` (string, optional): LinkedIn post permalink, e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/<slug>-<id>-<code>/ or https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<id>/. Query string is stripped. A sponsored post's permalink has no viewable page and will be refused.

## Output

- `url` (string, required)
- `urn` (string | null, optional): Displayed identity: signed in, from the reaction facepile (urn:li:activity:… or urn:li:ugcPost:…, may differ from the URL's id); signed out, the guest card's own data-activity-urn. Null only if that element doesn't render (rare) — not tied to a zero reaction count.
- `text` (string | null, optional): Commentary text; null on media-only posts — and on a quote-reshare with no commentary of its own (the quoted content is in quotedPost, never here). Signed out this is the LD articleBody, the full untruncated commentary.
- `media` (string, optional): video | image | document | none (best-effort; a multi-image carousel reads as image)
- `author` (object, optional)
- `reposts` (number | null, optional): Null signed-out: the guest action bar renders no repost control and the LD carries no repost statistic, so the count is unobserved rather than zero.
- `comments` (number | null, optional)
- `postedAgo` (string | null, optional)
- `reactions` (number | null, optional)
- `quotedPost` (object | null, optional): The embedded original when this post is a quote-reshare ('repost with thoughts'). Null when the post embeds no quoted update. On the SDUI shell the quoted author's headline is not extracted (null).
- `datePublished` (string | null, optional): ISO instant the post was published, from the signed-out page's schema.org block. Null on the signed-in shells, which render only a relative age — so when an exact time matters, a managed (signed-out) run is the one that has it.
