## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| username | not declared | yes | not declared | The member's /in/ username or full profile link, such as `williamhgates`. A display name with spaces is not recognised. |
| limit | integer (1–50) | no | 10 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values are accepted and capped at the maximum. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
| author_name | Author's display name. |
| author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
| author_headline | platform-native meaning |
| author_id | Numeric member ID of the post author (search). |
| author_url | Profile link of the post author (search), without tracking parameters. |
| author_avatar_url | Avatar link of the post author (search). |
| author_type | platform-native meaning |
| reactions | Reaction counts by type (search): each entry has type (like, appreciation, empathy and so on) and count. |
| attachment | Card attached to the post (search): type (for example job or article), title, description, subtitle, url and image_url. |
| like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
| comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| share_count | Number of times the post was reshared. |
| hashtags | Hashtag list of the company page or post. |
| is_reshare | Whether the post is a reshare of another post. |
| posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
