Stay compliant: To keep your LinkedIn account safe, we recommend extracting comments from a maximum of 50 posts per day with a regular LinkedIn account, or 100 with Sales Navigator.

What you give / What you get

You provide LinkedIn post URLs. PhantomBuster delivers back a structured list of commenters with their profile data and comment text, ready to use in your CRM or outreach workflow.

Note: For posts with very large volumes of comments, it may not be possible to retrieve all comments. The Automation extracts as many as LinkedIn loads on the page, which can sometimes be only the most recent ones.

Here's what PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Post Commenters Export Automation can do automatically for you:

• Extract engaged prospects: Capture commenters from your own LinkedIn posts, competitor posts, or industry thought leaders.

• Export to any format: Download results as spreadsheets or push directly to your CRM via integrations.

Best practices

Get the most out of this Automation while staying safe and compliant with LinkedIn's guidelines.

Stay within safe rate limits

To keep your LinkedIn account safe, we recommend extracting 10 comments from highly engaging posts and a maximum of 50 comments per day with a regular LinkedIn account, or 100 with Sales Navigator, depending on the post. These limits help you avoid LinkedIn restrictions while still building substantial prospect lists. Read more about LinkedIn limits and safe scaling strategies.

Handle high-volume posts strategically

For posts with very large volumes of comments (~20k+), the Automation extracts as many as possible within LinkedIn's technical limits. If you need complete coverage of mega-threads, consider running the Automation multiple times or focusing on more recent comments where engagement is highest.

Enrich before outreach

Use the LinkedIn Profile Scraper Automation to enrich commenter profiles with additional data like company, role, and email before adding them to your CRM. This helps you qualify leads and personalize your outreach.

Automate connection requests

After extracting commenters, use the LinkedIn Auto Connect Automation to automatically send personalized connection requests and grow your network with engaged prospects. Learn how to automate LinkedIn messages safely.

Run on a schedule

Set the Automation to run daily to continuously capture new commenters as posts gain traction. Scheduled runs help you maintain a steady flow of warm leads without manual effort.

Frequently asked questions

Here are the most common questions about using LinkedIn Post Commenters Export, from setup and compliance to data quality and workflow integrations.

How do I get started with LinkedIn Post Commenters Export?

Start by gathering LinkedIn post URLs in a Google Sheet (accessible to anyone with the link), then paste the sheet URL into the Automation setup. Launch it manually or schedule daily runs. The step-by-step tutorial walks you through the entire process with screenshots and troubleshooting tips.

Does LinkedIn Post Commenters Export provide fresh, real-time data?

Yes. Unlike static databases that go stale quickly, this Automation extracts live data directly from LinkedIn each time it runs. You'll always get the most recent commenters and their current profile information, which means higher accuracy and better response rates compared to outdated lists.

Is it safe to use LinkedIn Post Commenters Export? Will my account get restricted?

When you follow the recommended rate limits, the Automation operates safely within LinkedIn's acceptable usage patterns. We've built in safeguards to mimic human behavior and avoid detection. Read our guide on LinkedIn limits and safe scaling and learn how to avoid LinkedIn automation warnings.

How many commenters can I extract per day?

It will depend on the number of comments the post has. For highly engaging posts, we recommend processing ten per day. For others, you can safely extract comments from up to 50 posts per day with a regular LinkedIn account, or 100 posts per day with Sales Navigator. Set it on automatic and the Automation will collect hundreds of commenter profiles daily while staying compliant. For posts with very large volumes of comments (~20k+), you may not retrieve all comments due to LinkedIn's technical limits.

What's the difference between LinkedIn Post Commenters Export and LinkedIn Post Likers Export?

LinkedIn Post Commenters Export captures people who left comments (along with the comment text), while LinkedIn Post Likers Export captures people who liked the post. Commenters typically show higher intent because they took the time to write a response. For complete engagement data, use both Automations together or try the LinkedIn Post Commenter and Liker Scraper for continuous extraction.

Can I chain LinkedIn Post Commenters Export with other Automations?

Absolutely. Use the LinkedIn Activity Extractor to first extract post URLs from target profiles, then feed those URLs into LinkedIn Post Commenters Export to automatically extract comments. After extracting commenters, chain with LinkedIn Profile Scraper to enrich leads or LinkedIn Auto Connect to send connection requests. See our competitor post outreach playbook for a complete workflow example.

Does LinkedIn Post Commenters Export work with Sales Navigator?

Yes. When you use a Sales Navigator account, you can safely extract comments from up to 100 posts per day, depending on the post (compared to 50 with a regular LinkedIn account). Sales Navigator also provides access to more profiles and better filtering options. Learn more about LinkedIn account types and which one fits your team.

Is LinkedIn data extraction legal?

Yes, when done responsibly. LinkedIn Post Commenters Export only extracts publicly visible data (commenter names, profile URLs, and comment text) that anyone can see on LinkedIn. We follow best practices for ethical automation and stay within platform guidelines. For a detailed overview of legal considerations, read our guide on LinkedIn data scraping and legality.

Why use PhantomBuster instead of manually copying commenters or using a static database?

Manual copying is slow and error-prone. Static databases are outdated within weeks. PhantomBuster automates the entire process, extracting hundreds of commenters daily with fresh, accurate data. You can run it on repeat, chain it with other Automations, and export directly to your CRM. It's faster, more accurate, and scales effortlessly. Try it free to see the difference.

How do I access my extracted commenter data?

After the Automation runs, you'll find your data in the results file (downloadable as CSV or Excel) or on the LinkedIn Leads list within your PhantomBuster dashboard. From there, you can push results to Google Sheets, your CRM, or any tool that accepts CSV imports. The tutorial shows you exactly where to find and export your data.
