Hi all,

Pretty much in the title. I understand there is software out there for scraping information from linkedin, but I know that linkedin is very strict on banning people for scraping data. How do you guys go about scraping linkedin data?

Just have a custom bot made that acts like a human. Just think outside the box.

You will need a bunch of accounts mate, calc if it's profitable at the end of the day.

You will need a LOT of accounts actually since they bammer you when you view too many profiles and each account is needed to be logged in to scrape the data

True. It's hard when they have such limits. Basically they sell you their data.

Like everyone says, you cannot longer scrape data as anonymous user, you need to login. And for that depends how many data you want to scrape per day. I would say 250-400 profiles per acct per day and obviously proxies.
