Scrape Profiles from LinkedIn Search

Use this module to source leads from LinkedIn search. You can define a search term and a localisation. This module uses the Linkedin search bar to search for profiles that match your criteria.

Use cases

Here are some potential use cases for scraping profiles from LinkedIn search:

• Sales Prospecting: Automatically gather profiles from LinkedIn searches based on specific job titles, industries, or locations to generate a list of prospects for sales outreach.

• Event Networking: If you're hosting or attending a LinkedIn-related event or webinar, use this module to scrape profiles of attendees or speakers for future networking.

• Competitive Analysis: Search for profiles of employees working at competing companies and analyze their skill sets, job roles, and experience to understand how competitors are positioning themselves.

• Partnership Opportunities: Scrape profiles of individuals in roles relevant to partnerships or collaborations, such as business development managers, to explore potential business opportunities.

How To Use

Search Term:

In this field you can specify what you are looking for. You can define job roles or other key words to find related persons.

Location [OPTIONAL]:

Use these fields if you want to search for people in a specific area. If left blank the search is broadened. You can also choose to only fill the country. Then it searches for all cities in that country.

Number of Pages:

If you search on LinkedIn, your results are paginated. This field allows you to skim through the pages and get as many results as you like. Be aware that increasing the Number of Pages will increase the amount of Browserflow credits used for this module.

Output

The resulting output is of the following structure:

{
	"sessionId": "string",
	"data": [
		{
			"name": "string",
			"linkedin_url": "string",
			"image_url": "string",
			"tagline": "string",
			"location": "string",
			"summary": "string"
		}
	],
	"message": "string",
	"image_url": "string",
	"credits_used": "integer"
}

Note that the higher the numberOfPages parameter, the more profiles are returned. Also, LinkedIn adds 'hidden' profiles to the list to force you to upgrade to premium. These are skipped because they dont contain any useful information.

Costs

10 Browserflow credits per page (per search)
