This source is distinct from the standard LinkedIn source, which covers organization (company page) analytics. Use this source for member (personal profile) post analytics.

Set up

Authentication is via OAuth 2.0 (authorization code). When you connect the source you will be redirected to LinkedIn to sign in and grant access.

Reports

Member Post Analytics (Aggregate)	N/A	N/A	memberCreatorPostAnalytics
Member Post Analytics (By Post)	N/A	N/A	memberCreatorPostAnalytics

Member Post Analytics (Aggregate) returns the authenticated member's post metrics summed across all of their posts, broken down by day. No post IDs required.

Member Post Analytics (By Post) returns metrics for the specific posts whose IDs you supply, broken down by day and labelled with postId.

Finding a post's ID (By Post report)

The Member Post Analytics (By Post) report takes one or more post IDs. You must use the post's content URN ID, not the activityID shown in the post's page URL, they are different numbers and the activity ID will not resolve.

To get the correct ID:

Open your post and click the "…" menu → "Embed this post".
Copy the ID from the embed URL, e.g. …/embed/feed/update/urn:li:share:7483442311113236480 → the ID is 7483442311113236480, and the type is share.
Enter the ID(s) in the extract's Post IDs field, separated by commas with no spaces: 7483442311113236480,7300000000000000000.

Limitations

🚧
Post discovery is not available
LinkedIn's r_member_social scope — which would let the API list a member's posts automatically — is a closed permission and cannot currently be requested (reference). As a result, the By Post report cannot auto-discover posts; you must supply the post IDs manually as above. The most reliable long-term approach is to capture each post's URN at publish time (returned in the x-restli-id header when creating posts via w_member_social).
