# Does LinkedIn have an analytics API? Yes, and almost no guide mentions it > LinkedIn shipped a member post analytics API in July 2025. Of 17 pages ranking for the question, 3 name it. Here is what it does and who can get it. URL: https://voicemoat.com/blog/linkedin-analytics-api ## Key facts - Published: 2026-09-08 - Category: Industry - Read time: 14 minutes - Author: Prateek Singh - Publisher: VoiceMoat - Topics: LinkedIn analytics API; LinkedIn API; Community Management API; Post analytics; Social media analytics ## Key points - Yes. LinkedIn shipped memberCreatorPostAnalytics on 8 July 2025, with five metrics, and expanded it to eleven in April 2026. It is documented, versioned and actively maintained. - It is not one API, it is at least seven analytics endpoints across pages, members, video, social and ads. Asking whether LinkedIn has an analytics API is the wrong question. - The category is wrong by omission, not by denial. Of seventeen pages ranking for this question, three name the endpoint. Two guides updated in August 2026, running 5,500 and 15,000 words, never mention it. - The real barrier is eligibility, not existence. Access needs a registered legal company, a verified business email, and a LinkedIn Page admin to vouch for the app. A solo creator cannot get it in their own name. - Personal profiles are deliberately thinner than company pages. A page gets seven demographic breakdowns of its followers. A member gets a single integer. - The sharpest limit is the one nobody names: LinkedIn shipped the analytics without the discovery. Listing the posts you already published needs a permission that is closed, so an approved tool can only report on posts it published itself. Connect one today and it starts from zero. - LinkedIn has never said how long anyone may keep your post analytics. Its storage table has no row for them and has not been updated since before the endpoint existed. ## Related articles - Best AI tools for LinkedIn personal branding in 2026: https://voicemoat.com/blog/best-ai-tools-for-linkedin-personal-branding-2026 - Will a LinkedIn MCP get your account restricted?

A: Yes. LinkedIn has at least seven documented analytics endpoints. For personal posts, memberCreatorPostAnalytics launched on 8 July 2025 behind the r_member_postAnalytics permission and now returns eleven metrics. It sits inside the approval-gated Community Management API. Q: Can I get analytics for my own LinkedIn posts through the API? A: Technically yes, practically only through an approved application. Access requires a registered legal organization, a verified business email, and a LinkedIn Page admin to verify the app. A solo creator applying in their own name will not pass vetting, so in practice you reach it through a tool that holds the permission. Q: What metrics does the LinkedIn member post analytics API return? A: Impressions, members reached, reshares, reactions and comments from launch, plus post saves, post sends, link clicks, premium CTA clicks, followers gained from content and profile views from content added in the 202604 version. It does not return an engagement rate or any demographic breakdown of who saw the post. Q: Why do so many articles say LinkedIn has no analytics API? A: Mostly because they predate it. The endpoint launched in July 2025 and guides written before then were correct at the time. Of seventeen pages we read that rank for this question, only three name the endpoint, and one that explicitly denies it exists was published in 2022 and still ranks. Q: Can I get LinkedIn analytics without an API? A: Yes, and it is easier than the API route. Every LinkedIn member can open Analytics and tools on their profile, choose a range from 7 to 365 days, and export an XLSX. Creator mode is not required. Note that the separate "Get a copy of your data" archive contains your posts but no performance metrics. Q: Does the LinkedIn API give follower demographics for a personal profile? A: No. A company page gets seven demographic breakdowns of its followers including country, function, industry, seniority and company size. A personal profile gets a single follower count integer. This asymmetry is the reason no tool can show you personal-profile audience demographics from the official API. Q: Why can my LinkedIn tool only show analytics for posts I published through it? A: Because LinkedIn shipped the analytics endpoint without the discovery half. Asking how a post performed requires its post URN, and listing the posts a member already published requires the r_member_social permission, which LinkedIn has closed. A tool therefore only holds URNs for posts it published itself, so it starts from zero on the day you connect it. Q: How long can a tool store my LinkedIn post analytics? A: LinkedIn has not said. Its storage rules cap members' social activity data at 48 hours and give organization page reporting a year, but the table has no row for member post analytics and has not been updated since before the endpoint existed. The published documents do not resolve it. Source: https://voicemoat.com/blog/linkedin-analytics-api Site overview: https://voicemoat.com/llms.txt. AI usage policy: https://voicemoat.com/ai.txt.
