The Swarm’s Social Engagement endpoints give you access to the social activity happening around profiles in your network — pulling posts, and the engagement those posts generate, directly from LinkedIn. Whether you’re looking to identify active voices in a space, understand who’s engaging with your network’s content, or build enriched outreach workflows, this data opens up a layer of signal that goes well beyond profile information alone.
This endpoint is in beta. Please report any issues to support@theswarm.com

​
Available endpoints

The social engagement suite is built around a simple chain: you start with posts, then drill into the engagement on each one.
  • Get Posts — retrieves the last 10 posts from a profile’s social media accounts. This is the starting point for any social engagement workflow, and the source of the postUrn values used by the other endpoints. View API reference
  • Get Comments — pulls all comments on a given post, identified by its postUrn. Useful for finding who’s engaging with content and what they’re saying. View API reference
  • Get Reactions — pulls reactions for a given post. Gives you a quick signal of reach and sentiment without needing to parse comment text. View API reference
  • Get Reshares — pulls reshares for a given post. Reshares indicate strong endorsement and help you identify people actively amplifying content in your network. View API reference

Where to use this in your workflow

Social engagement data is most powerful when combined with profile and network data already available in The Swarm:
  • Identify active prospects — find people in your network who are regularly posting, and use that as a warm signal before reaching out
  • Map engagement around content — see who’s commenting on or resharing posts from key people in your industry, and surface new contacts worth adding to your network
  • Enrich outreach context — reference a prospect’s recent post or reaction as a conversation starter, making cold outreach feel considerably warmer
  • Build listening workflows — pipe social activity into your CRM or automation tools to trigger follow-ups based on engagement signals in real time
