But for specific names you will need to use the Clay chrome extension

Hey Binh!! Thanks for the follow-up. LinkedIn tends to do a good job at blocking scrapers now and then, but I re-mapped the extension so it could collect the reaction list once you open it. Let me know if you can see them and scrape them now.

fanstastic. I see what you meant now. I did not notice that you make the list of users pop up. However, if in my case, how can I automate all of this, e.g. I have a list of different posts to scrape, is there a different way to automate the whole thing? The URL is not super standardized though

also, in a post with fewer interactions, like this https://www.linkedin.com/posts/global-shares_take-the-complexity-out-of-your-share-pl[…]15858020352-KFXM/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop, it's not possible to get the user list pop out

automating this would require pantombuster or apify

Hey!! Yes, I can confirm that the steps Juan mentioned in the video work with any post. And to add a bit more context as to why our extension can't be automated it's because we haven't given it an update recently. However, the team is working on it and may soon have some improved features; for now, those alternatives that Juan also mentioned could be automated.
