get_linkedin:
Retrieves the share count of URLs on LinkedIn
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.
