Request parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | Yes | LinkedIn company URL, e.g. https://linkedin.com/company/slug. The URL platform must match this endpoint's platform. Do not pass cross-platform URLs, e.g. YouTube to TikTok, Instagram to Facebook, LinkedIn to X/Twitter, or Pinterest to Rumble. |
| limit | integer | No | Max items to return (default 20, max 100). Only the ~10 posts the public page shows are available. Flat 1 credit. |
| cursor | string | No | Pagination cursor. Leave empty for the first page; then pass the nextCursor value returned in the previous response (numeric offset, e.g. 5). A null nextCursor means the end of the list. Only the recent posts LinkedIn shows logged-out visitors (about 10) are available. |
| cache | boolean | No | Set true to serve from the 24h response cache (0 credits on hit). Default false — always fetch fresh. |
Frequently asked questions
What does the LinkedIn Company Posts API do?
The LinkedIn Company Posts API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public LinkedIn post using one GET request to /v1/linkedin/company-posts. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.
How many credits does the LinkedIn Company Posts API cost?
Each successful call costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Failed or empty results are never charged.
Do I need a LinkedIn API key or OAuth?
No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle access, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.
Why do I get about 10 posts even with limit=100?
A company page shows logged-out visitors only its most recent posts — about 10. Older posts are visible only to signed-in members, and Captapi never signs in. When you reach the last of the public posts, hasMore is false and truncatedReason is public_page_limit. There is no deeper pagination.
How do I page through them?
Use a smaller limit and pass nextCursor back as cursor. totalReturned, nextCursor and hasMore are on every 200; a null nextCursor is the end.
What does degraded / degradedReason=deadline mean?
When the clock runs out after some posts were read, we return them with degraded=true instead of a 503 that throws away a listing we already have. Retry if you need every post's engagement read. A timeout with zero rows is 503 at 0 credits.
I got 200 with posts: [] and truncatedReason no_public_posts. Is that a failure?
No — it is LinkedIn's answer. The company page exists but shows no posts to logged-out visitors, so there is nothing to retry. The note names the page we read (name and follower count) because the usual cause is a stub or duplicate registration: company/oecd is a ~600-follower stub while the OECD that posts daily lives under another slug. Check the URL; 0 credits.
The URL I passed 404s, but I got a 503 instead of "Company not found". Why?
LinkedIn said 404 for your slug, and we tried to find the live page name behind it (our-world-in-data lives at ourworldindata). When LinkedIn's edge rate-limits the candidate page we need to check, we cannot tell "wrong name" from "blocked", so the response is a retryable 503 that lists the names tried — never an invented 404. A 404 is returned only when every candidate was checked.
What does a call cost?
A flat 1 credit for a page of posts. A page that shows no posts publicly is 0 credits, and failed calls are 0 credits.
Is the LinkedIn Company Posts API suitable for production use?
Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
