Unable to fetch all company updates from LinkedIn using R

I am trying to fetch as many LinkedIn updates as possible for a company--

Here is the link I am using -

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/21837/updates?event-type=status-update&count=250

But it only returns 10 updates. There are many more updates but they don't show up in the response. All posts older than a month ago don't show up. Is there a limitation on how far back you can go?

Appreciate any help!

Solution

  • 20 days seems to be the limit, according to the LinkedIn API documentation.

    Note that the API returns the latest 50 updates only for event type status-update. If you have updates of other types (such as jobs posting, product-updates etc.) then it can fetch up to 250 updates or updates in the last 20 days whichever comes first.

    The wording there isn't totally clear, their API documentation isn't very good unfortunately.
