    Yes, there are a couple of options for finding LinkedIn posts: 1. Our service uses public web scraping to collect post data, though this may have limitations for private accounts or inactive profiles. 2. Alternative services you could consider: ā€¢ Apify or Phantombuster - These services can collect post data and integrate with Clay. Note: Using these carries a risk of LinkedIn account blocks since they operate through your LinkedIn account. ā€¢ Claygent - Our built-in AI research tool with web access. Best results come from using advanced AI models like Argon or OpenAI's GPT 4o. Source: Find Recent Posts by User or Company with Companies, People, Jobs

    Our standard service uses public web scraping to find LinkedIn posts through the "Find Recent Posts by User or Company" feature. You can input a LinkedIn URL and optionally add keywords or date filters to retrieve social media posts.However, please note that since this relies on public web scraping, there may be limitations for private accounts or profiles that haven't been active recently.

    Our standard public web scraping service is the most cost-effective option for finding LinkedIn posts. This method is included with your Clay subscription and doesn't require additional tools. However, please note that it may have limitations with private accounts or inactive profiles.

    No, you don't need to subscribe to the 149/month for 2,000 credits/month, or $134/month when billed annually. Sources: Workspace administration documentation | Documentation | Clay University Free vs. Starter vs. Explorer vs. Pro vs. Enterprise Plans
