How to Extract LinkedIn Posts with Airtop Studio

Navigating LinkedIn to track relevant posts, updates, and content is critical for professionals and businesses leveraging LinkedIn’s professional network. Traditional manual approaches involve endless scrolling, tedious copying, and pasting, often leading to incomplete or inconsistent data.
