The discovery front door for post-engagement plays (feed the returned post_ln_id into the commenters / reactors / resharers tools). Addressed EITHER by `filters` (keywords REQUIRED) OR by a pasted /search/results/content/ `url`, which the node parses back into the same filter object: exactly one of the two, never both, never neither. CURSOR paginated, unlike every other search here: feed paging.next_cursor back verbatim and size the page with page_size. A page is the end only when LinkedIn itself answers that the window is empty; an answer the platform cannot read is refused (503 linkedin_page_unreadable, retry in a minute), never returned as an empty page. Contract: - MCP tool `scrape_linkedin_search_posts`, registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_scraping`, mount `linkedin.scraping`. - Operation `action`, response envelope `action`. - Flags: paced: a call spends the `scraping` smart-limit bucket of the account it runs on, and calls of one bucket are spaced per account. A short wait is slept by the server; a longer one answers 429 `rate_limited` with `context.retry_after`, and the same call succeeds from that moment. Parallel calls on one account queue behind each other. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/linkedin/openapi.yaml post /api/linkedin-scraping/search-posts openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: 'GTM API public contract: gtm.service.linkedin' description: >- Connected LinkedIn accounts and everything driven through them: account health and smart limits, conversations and messages, the connection graph, outbound posting, scraping, profile and company enrichment, and the antidetect browsers that execute it all. GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in `product/mcp/gtm.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`. Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gtm.service.linkedin`, 189 operations. This is the only OpenAPI document the platform publishes. Internal (`/internal`) and health endpoints are deliberately absent: they are not part of any contract, they can change without notice, and the service source is their only description. Conventions: - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header. - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`, `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support. - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed 16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once. - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only. - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`) travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`. - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and is not part of this contract. version: '1.0' contact: name: GTM API url: https://gtm-api.com email: support@gtm-api.com license: name: Proprietary url: https://gtm-api.com/license servers: - url: https://app.gtm-api.com/linkedin/v4 description: Production, through the app.gtm-api.com gateway security: - BearerJwt: [] TeamSid: [] tags: - name: antidetect_browser_logs description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/antidetect_browser_logs`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.browsers`. - name: antidetect_browser_proxies description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/antidetect_browser_proxies`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.browsers`. - name: antidetect_browsers description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/antidetect_browsers`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.browsers`. - name: cloud_browser_sessions description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/cloud_browser_sessions`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.browsers`. - name: cloud_browsers description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/cloud_browsers`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.browsers`. - name: data_requests description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/data_requests`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.data`. - name: linkedin_account_activity_log description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_account_activity_log`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.account-monitor`. - name: linkedin_account_block_log description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_account_block_log`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.account-monitor`. - name: linkedin_account_quota_hits description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_account_quota_hits`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.account-monitor`. - name: linkedin_account_smart_limits description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_account_smart_limits`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.accounts`. - name: linkedin_account_snapshots description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_account_snapshots`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.account-monitor`. - name: linkedin_account_sync_runs description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_account_sync_runs`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.account-monitor`. - name: linkedin_accounts description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_accounts`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.accounts`. - name: linkedin_auto_scrape_results description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_auto_scrape_results`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.auto-scrapes`. - name: linkedin_auto_scrape_runs description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_auto_scrape_runs`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.auto-scrapes`. - name: linkedin_auto_scrapes description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_auto_scrapes`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.auto-scrapes`. - name: linkedin_benchmarks description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_benchmarks`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.account-monitor`. - name: linkedin_connection_invitations description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_connection_invitations`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.network`. - name: linkedin_connection_requests description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_connection_requests`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.network`. - name: linkedin_connections description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_connections`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.network`. - name: linkedin_conversations description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_conversations`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.messaging`. - name: linkedin_custom_requests description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_custom_requests`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.platform`. - name: linkedin_enrichment description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_enrichment`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.enrichment`. - name: linkedin_followers description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_followers`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.network`. - name: linkedin_messages description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_messages`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.messaging`. - name: linkedin_posting description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_posting`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.content`. - name: linkedin_scraping description: >- Registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_scraping`, served on MCP mount `linkedin.scraping`. paths: /api/linkedin-scraping/search-posts: post: tags: - linkedin_scraping summary: Scrape post search description: >- LinkedIn content search: find POSTS by keywords, recency or author.
