Important Notes

1. Analytics delay: LinkedIn analytics may take up to 24 hours to fully populate. Querying immediately after posting returns partial data.

2. URN formats: LinkedIn URLs use urn:li:activity:xxx but the API requires urn:li:share:xxx or urn:li:ugcPost:xxx. Use the postedId from Publora's get_post response for accurate URNs.

3. Caching: Analytics responses may be cached. The response includes a cached field indicating if data came from cache.

4. Rate limits: LinkedIn has approximately 200+ API calls per hour. Implement backoff on 429 errors.

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Solution
"Platform ID not found"	Invalid connection ID	Run list_connections to get valid IDs
"Post not found"	Wrong URN format	Use urn:li:share: or urn:li:ugcPost: format
429 Too Many Requests	Rate limited	Wait and retry with exponential backoff
"message cannot exceed 1250 characters"	Comment too long	Shorten comment to under 1,250 chars
