Testimonial

Linkedin Scraper from scrapingdog is great. We've tried various other APIs but they failed to reach our expectations and caused problems. But with ScrapingDog scraping seems like a piece of cake.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'LinkedIn Scraper API'?

The API can be used to extract data from LinkedIn profiles both individual & company.

Is Scraping LinkedIn Legal?

Scraping publicly available data is legal. However, if you scrape private information using a dedicated LinkedIn account, it would be considered illegal. Scrapingdog’s LinkedIn Scraper API only scrapes publicly available information. Recently, we wrote an article where we discussed whether scraping LinkedIn is Legal or not.

Can we scrape LinkedIn profile data using python?

Yes, however, the process is not scalable. We have built a guide wherein we have scraped LinkedIn profiles using Python.

none

Can I scrape jobs data from this API?

No, this API cannot extract Jobs data from LinkedIn. However, we have LinkedIn Jobs API which can help you scrape jobs from LinkedIn.

What's the difference between credits and requests?

Each API request consumes a certain number of credits based on the dedicated API you’re using.

For example, the Google Search API costs 5 credits per request. So, if you make one request to the Google Search API, it will deduct 5 credits from the available credits in your account. The number of credits required per request can vary depending on the specific API you’re using.

You can find more details about the credit usage for each API in the documentation.

Does Scrapingdog use LinkedIn sales navigator to scrape the data?

No, Scrapingdog’s LinkedIn Scraper doesn’t use Sales Navigator, and it doesn’t use your account or anybody’s account for that matter.
