get_linkedin: Retrieves the share count of URLs on LinkedIn

In toledobastos/SocialMediaMineR: A Social Media Search and Analytic Tool

Description

Takes a URL and returns a data frame with the original URL and the number of shares on LinkedIn. The function accepts the optional variable sleep.time (default=0) to avoid hitting API limits (if implemented). Use sleep.time to define the number of seconds the function will wait before proceeding to the next URL. If the URLs are shortened, you will have to first resolve them using the function get_url().

Usage

get_linkedin(links, sleep.time = 0)

Arguments

links	URL to be tracked on LinkedIn
sleep.time	Number of seconds the function will wait before proceeding to the next URL (optional)

Value

Returns the original URL and the number of shares on LinkedIn.
