Reaction Types

The API supports fetching all reaction types that LinkedIn provides:

LIKE - Standard like reaction
PRAISE - Praise reaction
APPRECIATION - Appreciation reaction
EMPATHY - Empathy reaction
INTEREST - Interest reaction
ENTERTAINMENT - Entertainment reaction

Pagination

Use the count and start parameters to paginate through reactions:

First page: {"postUrl": "...", "count": 10, "start": 0}
Second page: {"postUrl": "...", "count": 10, "start": 10}
Third page: {"postUrl": "...", "count": 10, "start": 20}

The response includes pagination.hasNextPage and pagination.nextStart to help you fetch the next page.

Notes

The endpoint automatically resolves short LinkedIn URLs
If a post has 0 reactions, the API will return early with an empty reactions array to save resources
The API tries multiple URN formats internally to ensure reliable data retrieval
Profile pictures are returned in 200x200 or 400x400 resolution
Connection degree indicates relationship: "1st" (connection), "2nd" (2nd degree), "3rd+" (3rd+ degree)
