API Limitations

The LinkedIn API has some limitations:

• No post search - Cannot search public posts (only your own or org posts you admin)
• No feed access - Cannot browse the public feed programmatically
• Rate limits - Standard LinkedIn API rate limits apply

For post search/discovery, you'll need to:

1. Use browser automation
2. Have users share post URLs directly
3. Use Sales Navigator (separate API access)
