Linked API

Overview

The node "Linked API" enables interaction with LinkedIn accounts to perform various operations, including commenting on posts. Specifically, the "Comment on Post" operation allows users to post a comment on a specified LinkedIn post by providing the post's URL and the comment text. This is useful for automating engagement on LinkedIn posts, such as adding feedback, participating in discussions, or managing social media interactions programmatically.

Practical examples:

• Automatically comment on new posts from specific LinkedIn profiles to increase visibility.
• Add personalized comments to posts as part of a marketing campaign.
• Respond to posts in bulk based on certain triggers or workflows.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the comment operation. This typically includes confirmation that the comment was posted successfully or details about any errors encountered. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LinkedIn automation API service.
• Needs a valid webhook URL configured to receive asynchronous responses.
• The node sends requests to the base URL https://api.linkedapi.io/automation using POST method.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing webhook URL can cause failure in receiving responses.
  • Incorrect or malformed LinkedIn post URLs may lead to errors or no action.
  • Comment text exceeding 1000 characters will likely be rejected.
  • Authentication failures if the API key credential is invalid or expired.

• Error messages:

  • Errors related to webhook delivery usually indicate misconfigured webhook URLs.
  • API errors about invalid post URLs suggest verifying the LinkedIn post link format.
  • Validation errors for comment length require shortening the comment text.
