# Scrape comment replies

> Direct LinkedIn read (bypasses our DB): one page of the REPLIES under ONE comment, live, the half scrape_linkedin_get_post_comments cannot read (its wire fetches no replies; replies_count there is a count). Same row shape as the comments read: the reply AND who wrote it (content, posted_at, comment_permalink, reactions_count + member id, nickname, name, headline), annotated with is_own. Target the comment by its urn as the comments read returns it in comment_ln_id (urn:li:comment:(activity:<postId>,<commentId>)), or in LinkedIn's fsd form (urn:li:fsd_comment:(<commentId>,urn:li:activity:<postId>)); the replies under a comment on a ugcPost, share or groupPost thread are not readable this way (422 comment_urn_not_activity_thread, nothing dispatched). LinkedIn picks the page size, there is no page_size here: the first page holds the newest replies, oldest first, and cursor walks to OLDER ones while paging.has_more says some remain. is_pinned and is_edited are always false on a reply.

Contract:
- MCP tool `scrape_linkedin_get_comment_replies`, registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_scraping`, mount `linkedin.scraping`.
- Operation `action`, response envelope `action`.
- Flags: paced: a call spends the `scraping` smart-limit bucket of the account it runs on, and calls of one bucket are spaced per account. A short wait is slept by the server; a longer one answers 429 `rate_limited` with `context.retry_after`, and the same call succeeds from that moment. Parallel calls on one account queue behind each other.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/linkedin/openapi.yaml post /api/linkedin-scraping/get-comment-replies
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 'GTM API public contract: gtm.service.linkedin'
  description: >-
    Connected LinkedIn accounts and everything driven through them: account
    health and smart limits, conversations and messages, the connection graph,
    outbound posting, scraping, profile and company enrichment, and the
    antidetect browsers that execute it all.


    GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in
    `product/mcp/gtm.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by
    hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`.


    Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gtm.service.linkedin`, 192
    operations. This is the only OpenAPI document the platform publishes.
    Internal (`/internal`) and health endpoints are deliberately absent: they
    are not part of any contract, they can change without notice, and the
    service source is their only description.


    Conventions:

    - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header.

    - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed
    `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`,
    `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support.

    - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed
    16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once.

    - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward
    `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only.

    - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`)
    travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`.

    - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and
    is not part of this contract.
