LinkedIn Comments Scraper

The LinkedIn Comments Scraper by TexAu enables you to extract comments from LinkedIn posts, providing valuable insights for engagement analysis and content strategy. This tool is ideal for founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers aiming to analyze audience feedback or identify potential leads. Follow this step-by-step guide to configure and run the automation.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation
Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and enter LinkedIn Comments Scraper in the search bar to locate the tool.

​

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu
To enable TexAu to access LinkedIn posts and extract comments, you must connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two methods for a secure connection:

1. Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for hassle-free login without cookies.
2. Add Account: Connects via TexAu's built-in browser extension for manual setup.

Tip: Using Magic Link is the quickest and most secure method for connecting your LinkedIn account.

​

Step 3: Select Your Input Source
Define the LinkedIn posts you want to extract comments from. TexAu provides three options:

1. Single Post URL: Manually enter a LinkedIn post URL to extract comments from one post.
2. Google Sheets: Link a Google Sheet containing multiple LinkedIn post URLs, one per row.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file with LinkedIn post URLs in a single column for bulk processing.

Tip: For large-scale comment extraction, use Google Sheets or CSV files for efficiency.

​

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)
Schedule the automation to run at specific times or intervals. Click Schedule to configure the start date and time or choose a recurrence frequency:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours or daily)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 1)

Tip: Scheduling is ideal for recurring tasks, such as monitoring comments on new posts regularly.

​

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)
Add delays between each comment extraction to simulate human activity and prevent LinkedIn from flagging the behavior. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay to introduce random intervals between actions.

Tip: Setting a delay of 10-30 seconds between actions reduces the risk of account suspension.

​

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)
Decide how to save and manage the extracted data. TexAu offers three output options:

1. Append (Default): Add new data to the existing file for cumulative tracking.
2. Split: Generate a new file for each run to separate data by session.
3. Overwrite: Replace previous data with the latest records for up-to-date information.

Export options include:

• Google Sheets: Automatically save data to a Google Sheet by linking your Google account.
• CSV File: Download data as a CSV file for offline access.

​

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop
Once you’ve configured the settings, click Run to start the automation. Choose between:

• Cloud: Runs the automation from TexAu’s servers for hands-free execution.
• Desktop: Runs locally on your device, using your IP address for added control.

Tip: Running the automation on Desktop mode can save cloud credits and provide better task oversight.

​

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store
After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted comments. Locate LinkedIn Comments Scraper and click See Data to view or download the data.
