Input
Full URL of the public LinkedIn profile whose posts should be returned. Format: complete URL.
10100
Most posts to return (10-100, default 10). Ignored on sources that page: each call returns one full page of 50 posts; follow nextCursor for more. Sources that cannot page return up to `limit` posts in one call with no nextCursor. Range: 10 to 100.
Pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor.
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `nextCursor`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a profile that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only; later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.

Pricing
Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.005 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
