}Repost a LinkedIn post
Repost/share a LinkedIn post to your feed. This creates an instant repost without additional commentary. Requires either a post URL (will be scraped for URNs) or the share/ugcPost URN directly. The activityUrn is optional but helps with engagement tracking.
Get all comments from a post
Fetch all comments from a LinkedIn post in a single request. Automatically handles pagination internally. Ideal for bulk analysis of post engagement. Use for posts with many comments where you need complete data.
