  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY",

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.heyreagent.com/v1/actions/list_posts_by_author",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"},
    json={
        "author": "PASTE_PROFILE_LINK_HERE",
    },

print(response.json())

The same call in n8n

Add an HTTP Request node and fill it in like this:

Send Headers	On. Name `Authorization`, Value `Bearer YOUR_KEY`
Send Body	On. Body Content Type `JSON`, Specify Body `Using JSON`, then paste the body below

{

What you get back

When it worked, the answer is { "ok": true, "result": { … } }. Inside result:

`returned`	number
`nextCursor`	A cursor. Other actions take it.
`posts[].id`	A post id. Other actions take it.
`posts[].socialId`	A post social id. Other actions take it.

A field that does not apply to an answer is left out, or is null. There are 177 more fields nested inside these.

When it did not work, the answer is { "ok": false, "error": "…", "message": "…" }. What each error means.

Good to know

For a company page pass its company id with isCompany true; a company link is not accepted.
A profile link is first resolved to a member id, which LinkedIn counts as a profile view.
