  { headers: { "x-api-key": key } },
);
const body = await res.json();

if (!body.success) {
  // one error shape for every endpoint — see /docs/errors
  throw new Error(`${body.error.type}: ${body.error.message}`);
}

console.log(body.data, "credits left:", body.credits_remaining);

import os
import requests

res = requests.get(

body = res.json()

if not body["success"]:

    raise RuntimeError(f"{body['error']['type']}: {body['error']['message']}")

print(body["data"], "credits left:", body["credits_remaining"])

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "linkedin",
  "endpoint": "/v1/linkedin/search-posts-native",
  "data": {
    "items": [],
    "count": 0,
    "retrieved_count": 0,
    "cursor": null,
    "has_more": false,
    "total": null,
    "source_total": 0,
    "completeness": "unknown"
  },
  "credits_used": 5,
  "credits_remaining": 99,
  "request_id": "req_…",
  "cached": false
}

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Five credits per acquired nonempty page; existing indexed search stays four. Search order is relevance. Date filtering may leave an empty page with a continuation cursor.

Continue with the same query and filters; cursors expire one hour after the first page and belong to your account.

Author location and additional public contact fields use separately priced lookups. Download the bounded Node.js workflow at /examples/linkedin-post-search.mjs. It accepts maxCredits, maxAuthors (0–10), authorLocation and contacts; region matching is a substring of source-reported author location, not post origin.

The workflow sends X-Max-Credits on each request; a changed price above that ceiling is refused before charging. Email, telephone and postal addresses remain withheld.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
