Search posts
Live LinkedIn post search by keyword, hashtag, or author.
https://api.up2data.ai/v1/search/postsProvide at least one of keywords, hashtags, author_url, or author_urn. Several keywords and hashtags match any of them. With an author, the search reads that profile's recent posts and applies keywords, hashtags, and posted_within to them; sort: top then orders by reactions. share_urn is the full URN (urn:li:share:... or urn:li:ugcPost:...); media is an extra field at the end of each post when it has images or video. meta.reason is success, or empty_result when nothing matched.
Counts as 1 request against the 300/min per-key limit and 1 search against the 20/hour per-organization search quota. See Rate limits.
Send many as batch operation items (operation search.posts); up to 500 posts per item, 1 credit per 25-row page. See the batch endpoint.
