• 2x your average impressions

• Engagement rate above your baseline

Important Notes

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

1. 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.

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

1. 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 |
