Questions
Which links work?
linkedin.com/posts links, /feed/update/urn:li:activity links, and Pulse article links. A member who hides the post is not found.
The link would not download.
Media addresses are time limited. Run the lookup again for a fresh one.
Is this tool free?
Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.
How do I get this data in my own app?
Send GET /v1/linkedin/post with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
