Overview
The node integrates with the Linkup API to automate LinkedIn activities related to posts. Specifically, the Get Comments operation extracts comments from a specified LinkedIn post. This is useful for social media managers, marketers, or recruiters who want to analyze engagement on LinkedIn posts by retrieving user comments programmatically.
Typical use cases include:
- Monitoring audience feedback on LinkedIn content.
- Collecting comments for sentiment analysis or customer support.
- Aggregating user interactions for reporting or CRM integration.
For example, you can input a LinkedIn post URL and retrieve a list of comments made on that post, including pagination support to fetch multiple pages of comments.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn Post URL | The URL of the LinkedIn post from which to extract comments. |
| Number of Results | The number of comment results to retrieve per page (default 10). |
| Start Page | The first page number of comments to retrieve (default 1). |
| End Page | The last page number of comments to retrieve (default 1). |
| Country Code | Country code used for proxy selection (e.g., FR, US, UK). Defaults to "FR". |
| Timeout | Request timeout in milliseconds (default 30000 ms). |
| Retry Count | Number of retries on failure (default 3). |
These properties are part of the "Linkup Parameters" collection under postsParams and "Advanced Options" under additionalFields.
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the extracted comments from the specified LinkedIn post. The output includes:
- The raw API response with comment details.
- A
_debugobject containing:- The request body sent.
- Request headers.
- Endpoint URL.
- API response.
- Metadata (
_meta) with resource name ("post"), operation name ("extractComments"), timestamp, and node version. - Paired item information linking the output to the input item index.
The structure allows further processing or filtering of comments within n8n workflows.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Linkup API service.
- Needs configuration of the Linkup API credentials in n8n, including the API key and optionally LinkedIn email, password, country code, and login token.
- Uses HTTP POST requests to the Linkup API endpoint
/posts/extract-comments. - Supports proxy country selection via the country code parameter.
Troubleshooting
- Missing API Key Error: If the API key is not configured, the node throws an error indicating the missing API key. Ensure the Linkup API credentials are properly set up in n8n.
- Invalid Post URL: Providing an incorrect or malformed LinkedIn post URL may result in API errors or empty responses. Verify the URL format before running the node.
- Timeouts or Network Issues: Requests may time out or fail due to network problems or API rate limits. Adjust the timeout and retry count parameters as needed.
- API Response Errors: The node captures and outputs error messages from the API. Review these messages to understand issues such as authentication failures or invalid parameters.
