Google Latest posts schema

The Google Search endpoint returns the posts of Google’s “Latest posts from …” block, the recent posts of an entity’s own social accounts on queries about a person, a team or an organization, as result.latestPosts, on desktop and mobile, with no flag and at no extra cost. The block can be in the result column or in a section of the entity panel, open or closed. latestPosts is omitted when the SERP has no Latest posts block.

Every post the page holds is returned, including the posts the user sees by scrolling the block. Google can show a post in the knowledge panel too; it is then in both result.knowledgeGraph.socialPosts and result.latestPosts.
