/v1/actions/linkedin-extract-people-post-activity/run/liveExtract LinkedIn People Post Activity pulls every post a LinkedIn user has authored or reshared from their activity feed, returning structured rows with post content, engagement metrics, and timestamps. You get a queryable dataset of what a person actually says on LinkedIn, not just their profile headline.
The action runs on the LinkedIn level and is built for GTM teams who treat post history as a high-density signal of priorities, pain points, and champion status.
You pass a LinkedIn profile URL, Edges reads the Activity → Posts tab through your authenticated LinkedIn session, and it paginates through the user's original posts and reshares. Results return as JSON rows ordered newest-first.
Runs happen on Edges infrastructure with safe rate pacing. For profiles with heavy posting cadence, async execution keeps pagination clean.
Reach for Extract LinkedIn People Post Activity when you need to understand a prospect, champion, or hire from their public narrative — not their resume. It maps to the LinkedIn signals & intent API use case.
Typical triggers: a founder evaluating whether a candidate shares their worldview, an AE prepping a meeting with a CRO who posts weekly, or a content team benchmarking what target buyers publish.
Edges paginates the full activity feed. For prolific posters, run async so pagination can complete in the background.
Your LinkedIn account. The activity feed is read through your authenticated LinkedIn session on Edges; visibility matches your manual browsing.
