Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn?

The legality of LinkedIn scraping exists in a gray area. The 2022 hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn ruling established that scraping public data doesn't violate the CFAA. However, LinkedIn's Terms of Service prohibit automated access. Using proxies helps avoid detection, but users should consult legal counsel and scrape responsibly, respecting rate limits and data privacy regulations.

What type of proxy works best for LinkedIn?

Residential and mobile proxies work best for LinkedIn scraping. Datacenter proxies are quickly detected and blocked. Residential proxies provide real user IP addresses that bypass LinkedIn's detection systems. Mobile proxies are particularly effective since LinkedIn sees significant mobile traffic. ISP proxies offer a balance of speed and authenticity.

How do I avoid getting my LinkedIn account banned while scraping?

To avoid LinkedIn bans, use residential proxies with proper rotation, implement realistic delays between requests (30-60 seconds), maintain consistent session behavior, use authenticated cookies, limit daily request volumes, and vary your browsing patterns. Never scrape from your main account—use dedicated accounts with established history.

What data can I extract from LinkedIn?

From LinkedIn you can extract public profile data including names, job titles, companies, education, skills, and experience. Company pages provide employee counts, industries, and locations. Job postings include titles, requirements, and salary ranges. Sales Navigator provides additional lead intelligence for B2B prospecting.

How many LinkedIn profiles can I scrape per day?

Safe scraping limits depend on your proxy quality and request patterns. With good residential proxies, you can scrape 500-1000 profiles daily per account. Aggressive scraping can trigger blocks within hours. Spread requests across multiple accounts and IP addresses, implementing realistic delays to maximize long-term extraction volumes.

Do I need a LinkedIn premium account to scrape effectively?

While basic accounts allow limited scraping, Sales Navigator or Recruiter accounts provide access to more data and higher usage limits. Premium accounts can view more profiles before hitting commercial use limits. However, premium accounts are more valuable if banned, so protect them with quality proxies and conservative scraping patterns.
