# LinkedIn post search API for your agent LinkedIn post search API for an agent: it sends a keyword to a catalog endpoint and reads post text, author and title back. Several providers sell the call, so the agent tries the cheapest first. You pay per call, and a failed call costs nothing. ## What this does LinkedIn posts show what people in a profession say in public. Your agent sends a keyword and reads back the posts with their authors, text and engagement. It finds the posts where a problem you solve is described, and the people who wrote them. The two providers work differently. One searches posts directly, with filters for the author's title and industry, the content type and the date, and bills per three results. The other finds posts, feed updates and Pulse articles through Google Search, so its results depend on what Google has indexed. You give: a keyword. Example: data warehouse migration. ## What differs between providers - Any Site API (anysite-api-linkedin-search-posts): searches posts with filters for author title, author industries, content type and date, and bills per result. - Scrape Creators API (scrapecreators-linkedin-search-posts): finds public posts, feed updates and Pulse articles through Google Search, so results follow what Google has indexed. ## Before you start - Know the source. The second provider reads what Google indexed, so a very recent post may not appear yet. - Filter by author title when you sell to a role. A search for the keyword with the title VP of Data returns posts from the people you want. - Check LinkedIn's terms and your privacy rules before you store personal data from posts. ## Prompt Use looot to search public LinkedIn posts about data warehouse migration and return the author, text, likes, comments and date of each, newest first. 1.
