}Comment ID Formats
The API accepts comment IDs in two formats and automatically transforms them:
-
FSD Comment Format (from LinkedIn API responses):
urn:li:fsd_comment:(7406438480937074688,urn:li:activity:7406311301075054592) -
Comment Format (required by LinkedIn API):
urn:li:comment:(activity:7406311301075054592,7406438480937074688)
The API automatically transforms the FSD format to the required format internally.
Notes
- The endpoint automatically transforms comment URN formats if needed
- If
postUrlis not provided, a generic LinkedIn referer is used - Replies support company pages via the
companyUrnparameter - The API includes human-like delays to simulate natural behavior
- Comment IDs can be obtained from the Get Post Comments endpoint
