Find People from LinkedIn Post

Source type: linkedinPost Extract the people who liked, commented on, or reshared a specific LinkedIn post. Different from linkedinPeopleFromKeywords (which scans all recent posts matching topic keywords).

Returns every match up to limit (max 100) in one call. There is no page 2, so has_more is always false. limit (max 100) caps comments and reactions combined; commentsLimit and reactionsLimit split it. scrapeComments and scrapeReactions default to true. Count is not available. 1 credit per 10 engagers of each type (comments, reactions), rounded up, for each provider tried.

Name	Type	Required	Description
`postUrl`	string	Yes	Full LinkedIn post URL (supports linkedin.com/posts/… and linkedin.com/feed/update/… formats).
`scrapeComments`	boolean	No	Whether to scrape the post’s commenters. Mirrors the ‘Scrape Comments’ toggle in the UI (default true). At least one of scrapeComments / scrapeReactions must be true.
`scrapeReactions`	boolean	No	Whether to scrape the post’s reactors. Mirrors the ‘Scrape Reactions’ toggle in the UI (default true). At least one of scrapeComments / scrapeReactions must be true.
`commentsLimit`	number	No	Max commenters to return. Comments and reactions together never exceed the request’s limit (max 100); when both are on and neither limit is set, limit is split evenly.
`reactionsLimit`	number	No	Max reactors to return, out of what is left of the request’s limit (max 100) after comments.
