Best practices for safe and effective LinkedIn profile scraping

Get the most out of this Phantom while staying safe and compliant with LinkedIn's guidelines.

• Respect LinkedIn rate limits: We recommend scraping a maximum of 1500 profiles per day with this Phantom to avoid account restrictions and keep your LinkedIn account in good standing.

• Clean your input lists: Remove duplicate URLs, irrelevant profiles, and competitors from your list before running the Automation to maximize efficiency and data quality.

• Enable email discovery for contacts: To collect professional emails, you'll need to enable an email discovery service like Dropcontact, Hunter, or Snov.io. Without email discovery enabled, the 'Professional Email' column will not appear in your results. Alternatively, you can use your available Email Discovery credits and get email addresses using PhantomBuster credits.

• Process 1,000 leads in just 30 minutes:

  Without email discovery, you can process leads quickly. If email discovery is switched on, it will take longer, but you'll get verified contact info.

• Use LinkedIn Profile Visitor for richer data: The LinkedIn Profile Scraper extracts only up to two recent experiences and excludes full work history and endorsements. For complete profile data, including images and skills, use the LinkedIn Profile Visitor instead.
