Linkedin API '/rest/posts' doesn't return all posts it should: some posts stay unseen

I use Zapier to regularly get last posts of my company page on Linkedin using the rest API but some posts are not seen. To be more precise, when I ask for the last 10 posts, I only get 8, and all of them are well within the last 10 posts. In other words, the api seems to see the 2 missing posts and count them among the 10, but does not return their content.

I use the following url : https://api.linkedin.com/rest/posts?q=author&author={organization urn}&isDsc=false&count=10

Linkedin documentation : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/posts-api

I can't find anything particular for these posts, so I don't get why the request skips them. Does anyone has an idea about it ?

I'm currently having the same issue where I can't retrieve posts in a DRAFT state.

In the docs, it mentions to include a viewContext parameter with the value of AUTHOR to retrieve posts not in a PUBLISHED state, but it still doesn't seem to be working - but maybe this will solve the issue for you?

Update: Nevermind - I just re-read the docs and this looks to only be applicable to retrieving posts by their URN.

I had the same issue myself.

Changing the value of the isDsc parameter to true fixed the problem for me. Well, it's not really a fix, but it seems like LinkedIn is just hiding Dsc posts rather than not returning them at all.
