linkedin_get_posts 4 credits

Fetch the recent LinkedIn posts of one person or one company. identifier accepts a profile or company URL, a slug, a person URN, or a company website domain like 'microsoft.com'; the entity type is detected automatically. A domain resolves to its verified company first, exactly like linkedin_get_company: it QUOTES base+4 credits (set max_credits accordingly) and the surcharge is refunded at settlement for already-known domains, so they settle at the base price. Company URNs and numeric company ids are search-filter inputs, not fetch identifiers: use the company slug, URL, or domain here. Returns one page of posts (text, created_at, author, likes, comments_count, shares, is_repost, url) with a cursor for older posts. Costs 4 credits per page. Use this for 'what has X been posting', voice-of-company research, or activity checks before outreach. Not for reading one specific post you already have a URL for, and not for keyword search across LinkedIn; neither is supported in v1.

Parameters

Errors a payment can fix add fields to this shape. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS, TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED, and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED carry upgrade_url (give it to your human) and offer, its machine-readable twin; RATE_LIMITED and CONCURRENCY_LIMIT carry both on trial accounts only, where a paid plan raises the limit. offer holds offer_version (1), reason (the error code), currency ("usd"), recommended (which pack to lead with, currently flex), packs (pack, mode, price_usd_cents, credits or credits_per_month, and when, a short label for when that pack fits), rails (currently stripe_checkout), checkout_url (the same account-bound link as upgrade_url), resume, and refund_policy. Follow offer.resume after payment: INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS retries the same call with the SAME Idempotency-Key; TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED retry with a fresh key; the two limit codes clear on their own with back-off, payment only raises the limit. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS also sets credits_required: the credits the failed call needed. The failed attempt charged nothing.
