  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7022155503770251267' \
  --data-urlencode 'scraper=linkedin-feed' -G
from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI

api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'})
res = api.get(
    'https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7022155503770251267',
    {'scraper': 'linkedin-feed'}
)

import json
data = json.loads(res['body'])
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });

const res = await api.get(
  'https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7022155503770251267',
  { scraper: 'linkedin-feed' }
);
const data = JSON.parse(res.body);
require 'crawlbase'
