Are you using any API to scrape LinkedIn?

Re:Ask HN: AI Agents for Data/Email Enrichment vs Using Apollo.io or R... on Saturday August 24, 2024 @03:13PM (#41340660)

Claiming decent email accuracy is one thing, but saying you’ve built an AI agent that handles LinkedIn enrichment with the most up-to-date data? That’s flat-out impossible. I’ve developed a tool (datamagnet.co) that does exactly this, and let me tell you, scraping LinkedIn is a constant war—more like cat and mouse. If what you’re saying is legit, I want to see it in action. I’ll gladly shut down my tool if your model actually delivers.

Just tried this out. Onboarding process is cumbersome as I just wanted to see a demo. Although the questions were very detailed and specific which is good. After setting up the ICP I have not received any leads so far.

Does all these questions transform into variables to your LLM? What is the your data source to filter leads? I have more questions and would love to chat.

I have a solution to scrape job portals like LinkedIn, Indeed, and a couple more. But the jobs data's value plummet very sharply over time and extracting this data at a large scale is quite extensive. Not sure what is your though.

TLDR: The short answer is: it is legal to scrape LinkedIn properly. However, scraping LinkedIn a certain way could be illegal.

Scraping data from public LinkedIn profiles? Ok. Scraping data from LinkedIn profiles with fake logged-in accounts? Not ok.

Good to know. Can you share your email id? I will ping you as soon as I have the first version of application ready.

Re:Open Source LinikedIn Scraper on Friday May 17, 2024 @09:40AM (#40389731)

Yes, I am aware about this and I won't be using my account for extraction. Users will put their session cookies for data extraction.

I am trying this out, I haven't really written any code to build the application. Generating codes via LLMs.

Hi All,I am planning to build a LinkedIn scraper, which would scrape LinkedIn profiles, company pages, groups, searches (sales nav and normal searches), likes, comments, etc, for free. I already a set piece of codebase that I have built out. I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in using an open-source LinkedIn scraper? Will this be good option?

Hi Everyone,I'm launching a new lead generation product. We've built ready-made modules for web scrapers for all major platforms like LinkedIn, Google search, Yelp, Yellow pages, Zillow, etc. Apart from web scrapers, we're building dedicated modules to automate prospecting and lead generation on LinkedIn and other platforms.Consider us an alternative to Phantombuster or TexAu, but without any...
