How can I get the latest post from each LinkedIn profile list in Apify?

·Jun 16, 2024 10:09 AM

I'm using an Apify actor that extracts all the latest posts of a specified linkedin profile, and outputs it in the format seen in the image. The problem is, I want the data of the last object in each list (the latest post) which is dynamic (not every list has the same amount of data/number of items) - How can I actually use this data? Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

This apify actor has indeed this problem. The only workaround is you pass it the search results of the posts instead of linkedin members and ensure to sort the results by the latest in linkedin. If you are using member search it wont sort results automatically. Another workaround which would be quiet complex. Use the formula to extract the latest post from the list returned. I.e return the post text from /results where date is newest. OR use rapid api

Is there anyway to use RapidAPI without having to upgrade my Clay sub?

If you are on explorer plan then you can use http api integration to use rapid apis via clay.

Is there any other way? I normally use N8N, so it'll cost me $ to subscribe to Zapier, no?

There are tons of ways but you will have to spend money to use them. Zapier offers free trial for 14 days i guess.
