Ingest LinkedIn Post
Extract LinkedIn post content and create wiki pages.
Detect Input Type
- Input starts with
http → URL approach (cookie auth)
- Otherwise → Pasted text (always works)
Approach 1: Pasted Text
Parse the pasted content to extract:
- Author name — first line or clearly identifiable name
- Post text — main body
- Date — if visible, otherwise use today
- Hashtags — extract any #hashtags for tags
Approach 2: Cookie-Based Auth (URL)
- Use the
firefox-cookies skill to get cookies for linkedin.com
- Fetch the post:
curl -sL -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36" \
-H "$COOKIE_HEADER" "<linkedin-url>"
- Parse HTML — try in order:
- JSON-LD (
<script type="application/ld+json">)
- Post content in
feed-shared-update-v2__description divs
- Author from
feed-shared-actor__name spans
- If auth fails (403, empty, no cookies): tell user to paste the post text and re-run. Stop.
Save Raw Content
Save to $VAULT/raw/linkedin-<author-slug>-<date>.md:
---
source-url: "<linkedin-url or 'pasted'>"
title: "<post summary>"
author: "<author-name>"
date-fetched: <today>
source-type: social
platform: linkedin
---
Create Wiki Source Note
Create $VAULT/wiki/sources/linkedin-<title-slug>.md:
---
title: "<Post Summary>"
date-created: <today>
date-modified: <today>
page-type: source-note
domain: <vault-default-domain>
tags: [linkedin, <hashtags>, <topic-tags>]
sources: ["<linkedin-url>"]
related: []
source-type: social
author: "<Author Name>"
date-accessed: <today>
raw-file: "raw/linkedin-<author-slug>-<date>.md"
---
Sections: Author (name + headline), Post (full text), Key Takeaways (3-5 bullets), Sources (link).
Notes
- Pasted text is the most reliable method — LinkedIn HTML changes frequently
- Never store cookies or auth tokens in wiki pages or raw files
Dependencies
