LinkedIn Search to Profile Data

From a LinkedIn search, you can build a prospect list including personal info, company data, and email addresses. This LinkedIn Search to Profile Data Flow will:

• Search for profiles with specific characteristics on LinkedIn

• Scrape LinkedIn profile data: Name, title, current position, company, bio, education...

• Scrape professional emails with the email discovery service included in your plan

• Ready-to-use scraped data in an Excel or Spreadsheet file to enrich your CRM

• Set it on automatic and scrape up to 80 profiles per day (or 150 with a LinkedIn premium account)

Note: This Flow is a merger between the LinkedIn Search Export and LinkedIn Profile Scraper Phantoms.

How does the LinkedIn Search to Profile Data Flow work?

This Flow will take any LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search URL as an input and then scrape data from each resulting profile.

Here's a tutorial to help you set up the LinkedIn Search to Profile Data Flow:

This will result in a big .csv file that you can read with Excel or Google Sheets. Or better yet, you can export it straight to your CRM.

Phantoms run from the cloud so your browser doesn't need to be open or on if you activate repeated launches.

Take note: The maximum input limit for flows to behave optimally is 5000 profiles. When using a spreadsheet as input, this counts as two search URLs for a Navigator account or five search URLs for a regular LinkedIn account.

How do you find professional emails for these LinkedIn profiles?

When you set up the Phantom, you'll have to use an email discovery service to scrape professional email addresses.

PhantomBuster plans each include a monthly allocation of email discovery credits:

• 500 per month with a Starter plan

• 2,500 per month with a Pro plan

• 10,000 per month with a Team plan

View all plans.

Otherwise, you can use tools such as Dropcontact, Hunter, or Snov.io then use the API key with PhantomBuster.

1. Select PhantomBuster or enter an API key when configuring the Phantom.

2. Automatically get all the emails in the resulting CSV file.

Note
For most 1st degree connections, you will also export email addresses and phone numbers that are publicly available in their profiles.

Rate limits for LinkedIn data scraping

Phantoms can safely visit and scrape data from 80 profiles per day, or at least 150 if you have a Sales Navigator account. If you go beyond these limitations, you’ll have to update your session cookie almost every day, limiting your repeated launches.

If you use the email discovery service (which opens the company page for each profile), we recommend processing a maximum of 40 profiles per day instead of 80.

LinkedIn is a powerful source of information for anyone looking for prospects, leads and talents.

With the LinkedIn Search to Profile Data Flow, prospecting and generating actionable leads from LinkedIn can be done automatically all in one place.
