Get LinkedIn post reactors
TL;DR
About
LinkedIn tells you a post got 240 reactions, then makes you open a small popup and scroll it by hand to see who they were. Paste the post URL and that popup comes back as rows you can filter, in LinkedIn's own order, with the total on top. The post does not have to be yours: anything your signed-in account can open works, a competitor's included. Say you sell payroll software and a rival's pricing post pulls 300 reactions. Run it with limit 300, keep the 2nd-degree people whose headline mentions HR or Payroll, and you have a short list for the connect script. Rows load by scrolling the popup, so a post with a few thousand reactions takes a good while and can stop short if LinkedIn stops loading names. Reaction type and timestamp are not in the output. Degree is relative to the signed-in account, so a colleague running the same post can get different values.
Input
url optionalAlias for postUrl (accepted for compatibility — prefer postUrl).
limit optionalMaximum number of reactors to return. Default 200.
Default: 200postUrl optionalThe LinkedIn post's URL, e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/<slug>-<id>-<code> or https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<id>/. Tracking/query params are fine — they're ignored.
Output
total requiredTotal number of reactions on the post (all reaction types combined), read from the post's own reactions-count control. 0 when the post has no reactions.
reactors requiredThe reactors, in the order LinkedIn lists them, capped by `limit`. A list shorter than `total` means `limit` was reached. Empty with total 0 means the post genuinely has no reactions — confirmed by the post's action bar having rendered while no reactions-count control exists. A post that renders neither is reported as an error instead.

}FAQ
Search LinkedIn people
Search LinkedIn people by keywords with optional title, name, company, school, currentCompanyIds/pastCompanyIds (numeric ids from get_company_info), connectionDegrees, connectionOf, geoUrn, and pagination (10/page). Returns page, total, and people (name, url, publicId, memberUrn, degree, headline, location, snippet, followers, mutualConnections). A page with no results returns people: [] and total: 0. Shared connections: pass a result's memberUrn (get_profile returns it too) as connectionOf to list that member's connections visible to you. For a 2nd/3rd-degree member that is the people you have in common. Works alone or with any other filter. Location: this script filters by LinkedIn geo id only. To search a place, first call suggest_locations with the place name, then pass the chosen suggestion's geoUrn here.
Get LinkedIn profile
Get one LinkedIn profile by its public id or profile URL: name, headline, location and its geo id, current company, About text, photo, connection degree, follower and connection counts, the stable member id, and the full lists of experience, education, languages, certifications and honors, in the order the profile shows them, with LinkedIn's ids for companies and schools and dates as month and year. A role's location is the text the member saved, which can be translated or misspelled. Skills are in linkedin.com/get_profile_skills and contact details in linkedin.com/get_profile_contact_info. A field is null and a list is empty when the profile does not show it. Fails with a clear message when the browser is not signed in to LinkedIn, when the profile does not exist, or when LinkedIn limits the account.
Get LinkedIn profile experience
Get the full experience list from a LinkedIn profile's dedicated experience page by publicId, with grouped companies expanded to one entry per role. Returns positions (title, company, companyUrl, employmentType, dateRange, duration, location, description).
