Introduction

LinkedIn Organic surfaces page-level and post-level organic performance for a connected LinkedIn Company Page through the LinkedIn Marketing API. It covers feed posts, articles, documents, and video posts, alongside page-level signals such as follower counts, profile views, and follower geography. LinkedIn Organic targets Company Pages — personal profile metrics are not supported by this connector. The Company Page is captured at connection time (as an Organization URN) and used as the single root for all queries against that connection. As an organic-social connector, engagement metrics, audience breakdowns, and post-level groupings are standardized so widgets can aggregate alongside other sources without additional configuration. To connect this data source, see How to connect LinkedIn Organic to Adriel.

Data refresh strategy

Architecture data

Architecture covers the Company Page and its post hierarchy. On first connection, posts created within the last 365 days are retrieved, but only lifetime metrics are available for them — no historical daily values. Metrics accumulate in the cache from the connection date forward. New posts appear after the next daily refresh at 12:00 AM UTC.

Reports data

Reports include lifetime and daily performance for the page and its posts.
  • Lifetime page and post data refreshes daily at 12:00 AM UTC.
  • Daily page data: the initial fetch covers the last 90 days; each subsequent refresh updates the most recent 3 days at 12:00 AM UTC.
Follower and audience metrics have no historical backfill — only daily snapshots are cached from the connection date forward. Associated media may expire if a post is no longer accessible through the API, and delta values for very old posts (3+ years) or posts that became unretrievable (deleted or restricted) are not recorded.

Date range limits

Some time breakdowns cap the range that can be returned in a single query. Data outside the cap may be truncated.

Metrics

How to read the columnsData type uses this vocabulary: Number, Currency, Percentage, Ratio, Duration, Date, Text, URL, Array, Boolean.API Key in code style like impressionCount is the literal LinkedIn REST API field name. Italic text describes how a value is produced when it doesn’t map to a single API field — for example a delta computed from cached daily snapshots.
Most post-level metrics are available in two variants: a lifetime value (cumulative since the post was published) and a period value (the change within the selected reporting range). Lifetime values carry the platform API key; period values are derived by Adriel from cached snapshots.

Time & date grouping

Adriel aggregates LinkedIn’s underlying daily records into these time views for reporting.

Limitations

  • Company Pages only — the connector authorizes against a LinkedIn Company Page; personal profile metrics are not exposed.
  • No follower or audience backfill — follower counts and follower geography have no history; only daily snapshots are cached, accumulating from the connection date forward.
  • Demographic breakdowns are limited — LinkedIn returns follower demographics only for lifetime (non-time-bound) queries and caps each facet at its top results, so small Company Pages may see empty buckets for less common combinations (LinkedIn follower statistics).
  • Older and unretrievable posts — delta values for very old posts (3+ years) or posts that became unretrievable (deleted or restricted) are not recorded, and associated media may expire when a post is no longer accessible through the API.
  • v1 deprecated — this reference covers the v2 connector; the legacy v1 LinkedIn Organic connector is hidden from new-connection flows, and existing v1 widgets continue to function.
