Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`accountId`	string	No	LinkedIn account ID to use. If not provided, uses the default account.
`profileId`	string	Conditional	LinkedIn profile vanity URL slug (the part after linkedin.com/in/, e.g., "john-doe-123"). When possible, use profileUrn instead for more reliable results. Either `profileId` or `profileUrn` must be provided.
`profileUrn`	string	Conditional	LinkedIn profile URN (e.g., "urn:li:fsd_profile:ACoAABJefVoBrz2LR3f..."). Preferred over profileId — avoids an extra API call to resolve the vanity name. Either `profileUrn` or `profileId` must be provided.
`count`	number	No	Number of recent posts to retrieve (max 20)
`includeReposts`	boolean	No	Whether to include reposts/shares in results

  "accountId": "acc_12345",
