One of the most valuable features of LinkedIn is the ability to post content and engage with others through likes and comments.
As you build your network and your content becomes more popular, it can be challenging to keep track of who is engaging with your posts.
You may also want to analyze who likes and comment the post of your competitors.
In this article, we will explore how to export LinkedIn post likes and commenters using LinkedIn scraping tools and how to use this information to improve your LinkedIn strategy.
How To Export LinkedIn Post Likers?
How to extract LinkedIn post likers into a spreadsheet:
- Copy and paste the URL of the post
- Paste it into a LinkedIn scraping tool
- Download your results in CSV file
1. Copy and paste the URL of the post
The first to export LinkedIn post likers is to copy-paste the URL of the past.
For that:
- Find a LinkedIn post
- Click on the 3 dots
- Click on “Copy link to post”
You can now paste into your favorite LinkedIn scraping tool to extract the data.
2. Paste it into a LinkedIn scraping tool
To export likers and commenters from LinkedIn posts you can use Phantombuster or TexAu.
For this example, we are going to use Phantombuster’s LinkedIn Post Likers Export.
To access it:
- Go to Phantombuster
- Click on Solution
- Click on LinkedIn
- Write “like” in the search bar
- Click on the phantom
Phantombuster will ask you to download their Chrome extension to get your LinkedIn cookies.
Once you have done that you can copy and paste the LinkedIn URL of your post in the tool.
You can select the number of likers you want to extract but in 99% of the case you’ll want to extract all of them so don’t put anything here.
You can do this operation with your own posts, but also the post of your competitors.
It’s a great way to steal your competitors’ audience on LinkedIn. Here is a video tutorial to learn more on that.
3. Download your results in CSV file
Once you have set up your Phantom, press the launch button and wait a few minutes.
You will see the preview of your data in the “Results” tab.
Here is the data you will get:
- LinkedIn URL
- First name
- Last name
- Job
- Degree of connection
- Reaction type
With this technique you can get post likers.
How To Export LinkedIn Post Commenters?
To export your LinkedIn post comments:
- Copy the URL of your LinkedIn post
- Paste it into a LinkedIn scraping tool
- Download the results in CSV file
You can follow exactly the same process described in part one for post likers.
The only difference is that you are going to use the LinkedIn Post Commenters Export on Phantombuster or TexAu
Can You Export LinkedIn Post Views?
It is not possible to export LinkedIn post views.
While LinkedIn provides metrics on the number of views, likes, and comments a post receives, this data is only available within the platform’s analytics dashboard.
Users can view this information for individual posts or their overall profile, but there is no option to download or export the data.
This limitation is due to LinkedIn’s data privacy policies, as well as their desire to keep users within their platform.
Can You Export LinkedIn Post Analytics?
It is not possible to export LinkedIn post analytics.
While the platform provides detailed metrics on post performance, such as impressions, engagement, and demographics, there is no option to export this data for further analysis.
LinkedIn only allows users to view their analytics within the platform, limiting the ability to manipulate or compare data outside the platform.
If you want data on how your LinkedIn post perform you can use a tool like Taplio. This tool allows getting detailed analytics on your LinkedIn post performances
