# LinkedIn analytics

**In short:** LinkedIn analytics work, but the data comes from the Chrome extension reading your own post stats, because LinkedIn's official analytics API is not open to us yet. You sync with one click, and your follower count is entered by hand.

Open **Analytics** on a LinkedIn profile and you get a LinkedIn-specific surface that mirrors the Twitter tabs.

### How LinkedIn analytics get their data

{% hint style="info" %}
LinkedIn's official member-analytics API requires a registered-entity approval that VoiceMoat does not have yet. In the meantime, the Chrome extension reads **your own** post analytics from your logged-in LinkedIn session and brings them into VoiceMoat. It is locked to your own account, so it can only read your data.
{% endhint %}

To populate LinkedIn analytics, install the extension, sign in to LinkedIn, and use **Sync my LinkedIn analytics**. Without a sync, the analytics are empty rather than guessed.

### What you see

Once synced, LinkedIn analytics show real metrics for your posts:

* impressions and unique impressions,
* reactions, broken down by type (Like, Celebrate, Love, Insightful, Support, Funny, Curious),
* comments and shares,
* engagement rate,
* and video views and media type.

Your **follower count is entered by hand**, because LinkedIn does not expose it to us.

### Who can use it

* The base LinkedIn analytics surface is available on Creator and above.
* Syncing (the extension ingest) needs Pro or above.

### audenAI Intelligence on LinkedIn

audenAI Intelligence works on LinkedIn too, reading your synced LinkedIn posts. It has slightly less to work with than on Twitter (there is no live profile or mentions context), but it still gives you a written read of what is landing. See audenAI Intelligence.

### Common questions

**Why do I have to sync manually?** Because there is no official API, the extension gathers the data from your session when you ask it to. One click does it.

**Why is my follower count a text box?** LinkedIn does not give us your follower count through any allowed channel, so you enter it. Everything else is read from your own post stats.

**Is this against LinkedIn's rules?** The extension only reads your own analytics from your own session, which is what you can already see on LinkedIn. It does not post or act on your behalf.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.voicemoat.com/linkedin-analytics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
