Ziplined is a LinkedIn Lead Radar, and a LinkedIn post scraper alternative for exporting likers and commenters. It needs no LinkedIn login and starts at $49 a month.
Short answer: for a list of likers and commenters, you do not need a post scraper. Ziplined collects them every night from the profiles you watch, and exports the ones who fit your ideal client.

What do you need: a LinkedIn post scraper or a list of engagers?
Searches for a LinkedIn post scraper mix two jobs: scraping the posts and exporting the engagers. This page is about exporting the engagers.
| Scrape the posts | Export the engagers | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Post text, post URL, author, numbers | The people who liked and commented |
| Typical tool | Apify actors and scraping APIs | PhantomBuster Phantoms, Ziplined |
| The better fit when | You need the text of posts for research or a dataset | You need people to contact |
Why is a plain export of post likers not enough?
- Most likers do not fit your ideal client. Peers, friends, recruiters and job seekers like posts too.
- One post is one moment. A one-off export of one post misses next week's posts.
- PhantomBuster's post Phantoms run as you, on a connected LinkedIn account.
PhantomBuster: post URLs in, everyone out
- Post URL
- Post URL
Your LinkedIn session connected
Ziplined: profiles you watch, only Leads out
- Your team
- Competitors
- Industry experts

How does Ziplined export the people who engage with LinkedIn posts?
Add sources.
A LinkedIn profile or company page, as teammate, competitor or industry expert. No plan limits the number of sources.
Choose how far back.
Include the past week, or start from now on. Go back further later, up to 90 days.
Ziplined collects every night.
From 02:00 UTC it reads each source's new posts from the last 7 days, and their likes and comments.
Your ideal client decides who is a Lead.
Views add more than 20 filters. Your own team is never a Lead.
Export or sync.
Click Export for Excel or Google Sheets (CSV), or sync a view. Each person is one row, with the reason.
Your sources
Teammate
Competitor
Industry expert
Your ideal client
You sell to founders and heads of sales at companies of 11 to 50 people in software and IT services, in the Netherlands and Belgium.
