# Retrieving post data

To retrieve LinkedIn post data, include the st.openPost action in your workflow. Returns post content, author, media, reactions, comments, reposts, and metadata.

To retrieve LinkedIn post data, include the [`st.openPost`](/docs/action-st-open-post) action in your workflow and set `basicInfo` to `true`. Here's an example:

**Workflow:**

```json
{
  "actionType": "st.openPost",
  "postUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/posts/post1",
  "basicInfo": true
}
```

**Completion:**

```json
{
  "actionType": "st.openPost",
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:1234567890123456789",
