Important API Restrictions

1. No organic carousels: Swipeable multi-image carousels are NOT available via API (only for sponsored content). Multi-image posts appear as a grid layout.
2. No mixed media: Cannot combine images with videos or documents in the same post.
3. No rich text: LinkedIn API does not support bold, italic, or other formatting. Use plain text or Unicode characters for emphasis.
4. PDF alternative for carousels: To share multi-page swipeable content, upload a PDF document instead.

Examples

Simple Text Post

Schedule a LinkedIn post for tomorrow at 9 AM:
"We're thrilled to announce the release of our AI writing assistant. After 18 months of development, we're ready to help teams write better content faster."

Post with Mention

Create a LinkedIn post mentioning our CEO:
"Excited to share insights from @{urn:li:person:4986615|Serge Bulaev} on the future of AI in content creation."

Multi-Image Post

Create a LinkedIn post with 4 product screenshots showing our new dashboard features.

PDF Document Post

Share our Q4 report as a PDF on LinkedIn with a summary caption.

Best Practices

1. First line matters: First 210 characters appear before "see more" - make them compelling
2. Optimal length: Posts under 1,300 characters tend to perform better
3. Posting times: Tuesday-Thursday, 8-10 AM in your audience's timezone
4. Hashtags: Use 3-5 relevant hashtags - they're supported as plain text
5. Engagement: End with a question to encourage comments
