# LinkedIn Group Posts API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/linkedin/group-posts)

> List posts in a LinkedIn group, normalised to the SocialCrawl schema.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/linkedin/group/posts` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `group_id` | yes | LinkedIn numeric group ID. |
| `page` | no | 1-based page number. Defaults to 1. |
| `since` | no | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| `until` | no | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |
| `max_pages` | no | 1 to 50 (default 1, or 50 when `max_items` or `max_credits` is sent). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them. Each page walked is billed exactly as one call to this endpoint (a cached page is free) and counts against your rate limit; its charge and any refund are recorded under the page's own request id, listed in `data.walk.request_ids`. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; `data.walk.stopped` says why (`end`, `max_pages`, `max_items`, `max_credits`, `time_budget`, `page_error`) and `pagination.next_cursor` continues from where it stopped. |
| `max_items` | no | 1 to 5000. Get more in one call: keep walking pages until the response holds at least this many rows, then stop with `data.walk.stopped: "max_items"`. The last page is returned whole (it was billed), so `data.items` can hold up to one page more than this, and `pagination.next_cursor` resumes right after it without skipping a row. Walks up to 50 pages unless `max_pages` says fewer; each page is billed as one call (a cached page is free). Add `max_credits` to cap the spend. A long walk can stop on the time budget first (`"time_budget"`): send the returned cursor with the same params to continue. |
| `max_credits` | no | 1 to 100000. The most this call may spend, across every page it walks. A page starts only while the credits already spent plus that page's price (or, when higher, the most any page of this walk has cost) still fit, so the call never goes past it; the walk then stops with `data.walk.stopped: "max_credits"` and the cursor to resume. Sent alone, it walks as far as the budget goes (up to 50 pages). A value below the price of one page is a free 400 whose `error.details.page_credits` names that price. Credits a row join (`include=`) adds are known only once a page has run, so page 1 is checked against its own price. |

## FAQ

### How do I list the posts inside a LinkedIn group?

Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/group/posts with a numeric group_id in the group_id parameter. The response returns a feed of posts from inside that group, each with text, author info, and engagement counts.

### How do I paginate through a LinkedIn group feed?

Add the optional page query parameter (integer) to request older posts. Start at page 1 and increment to walk back through the feed until the response returns an empty list, which marks the end of the available posts.

### What fields come back for each group post?

Each post carries its text, author info, publish timestamp, and engagement counts such as reactions and comments. The shape stays consistent with the other LinkedIn post endpoints so you can reuse the same parsing code.

### How much does the group posts endpoint cost?

Each page costs 5 credits on the advanced tier, regardless of how many posts come back in that page. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, enough for 20 pages of group content before you upgrade.

### What can I use a LinkedIn group feed for?

Community and topic monitoring are the main use cases. Read a group's feed to see what a professional community is discussing, track recurring themes, and surface active members or trending questions in your niche.
