LinkedIn Posts API — frequently asked questions

Can I publish LinkedIn posts programmatically?
Yes. The Posts API lets you create text, image, video and document posts on behalf of connected LinkedIn accounts. The API returns the new post URN immediately so you can track engagement or build scheduling workflows.
What engagement data can I pull from LinkedIn posts?
You can fetch comments (paginated with author metadata), reactions broken down by type (Like, Celebrate, Insightful, etc.) and per-user attribution, plus impression and engagement counts via the scrape endpoint. This is the same data visible in LinkedIn's native post analytics.
Does the API support media uploads?
Yes. Use the Upload Media (Init) endpoint to start a multi-part upload for images, videos or PDF documents. Once the upload completes, reference the media URN in your Create Post call to publish a media-rich LinkedIn post.
