LinkedIn Profile Scraper

Get 47 key data points from LinkedIn profiles, including name, role, company, and contact info, to enrich your prospecting list.
Note: this Phantom only scrapes the two most recent positions and does not include screenshots or endorsements.

Why use the LinkedIn Profile Scraper?

The LinkedIn Profile Scraper is a data scraping automation that helps you gather essential information for your lead generation, market research, or sales outreach needs. Automate the process and access high-quality data instead of manually copying and pasting details from profiles.

It's perfect for:

• Building contact lists enriched with reliable, intent-based data

• Identifying decision-makers for personalized sales campaigns

• Conducting market research with data from multiple profiles

• Keeping your CRM updated and actionable.

By connecting your HubSpot CRM to PhantomBuster, the LinkedIn Profile Scraper ensures that your contacts are always up to date. It automatically detects profile changes, such as new roles or company shifts.

The LinkedIn Profile Scraper allows you to

• Safely scrape up to 1,500 profiles per day

• Process 1,000 leads in just 30 minutes (If email discovery is switched on, it will take longer)

• Get results in a cleaner, more organized format

Don’t have LinkedIn profile URLs yet?

No problem - start by generating a list of LinkedIn Profile URLs using one of these tools:

• LinkedIn Profile URL Finder: generate LinkedIn profile URLs using just a list of names

• LinkedIn Search Export Phantom: extract every profile from LinkedIn search results

• LinkedIn Group Members Export Phantom: collect up to 2,500 members from a LinkedIn group

• LinkedIn Company Employees Export Phantom: gather employee profiles from a company’s LinkedIn page

Take note: If you'd like to scrape profiles from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you can use our Sales Navigator Profile Scraper Phantom.

What can you do with the data you scraped?

Once you’ve scraped LinkedIn profiles, you can use the data to:

• Enrich further: use the AI LinkedIn Profile Enricher Phantom to refine your data and match profiles to your ideal customer profile (ICP).

• Automate outreach: Send personalized messages, likes, and comments using the AI LinkedIn Message Writer Phantom or create automated lead generation workflows with the LinkedIn Outreach Flow.

• Update your CRM: Connect your HubSpot CRM to ensure contact lists stay accurate with real-time updates.

• Export data: Download your data as a CSV file to use with Google Sheets, Excel, or other tools.

Keep in mind that the LinkedIn Profile Scraper provides a summary-level view of each profile. For more complete datasets, including full job history and all visible fields, we recommend pairing this with the LinkedIn Profile Visitor Phantom.

How does the LinkedIn Profile Scraper automation work?

PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Profile Scraper automatically visits the profiles on your list and extracts key publicly available data. This includes recent experience, education, contact information (when available), and profile flags.

It currently captures only the two most recent job experiences and does not include screenshots, full work history, or endorsements.

To capture the full profile content, including all past roles and more detailed information, consider using the LinkedIn Profile Visitor Phantom instead.

Best practices for scraping data safely

• Optimize your input list: Ensure your list of profiles aligns with your goals. Clean up irrelevant profiles to maximize efficiency. Use LinkedIn Leads filters or manually select prospects to create a refined list.

• Respect LinkedIn’s rate limits: To avoid account restrictions, scrape responsibly. We recommend scraping a maximum of 1500 profiles per day with this Phantom.

How to find email addresses from LinkedIn profiles

To collect email addresses using this Phantom, you’ll need to enable an email discovery service, even if you’re targeting your 1st-degree connections. Without email discovery enabled, the professionalEmail column will not appear in your results file.
We recommend integrating an enrichment service like Dropcontact, Hunter, or Snov.io via API key to discover professional emails.
If you're specifically targeting your 1st-degree connections and want to retrieve personal email addresses (those made available on the LinkedIn profile itself), the most reliable approach is to either:
• Use the LinkedIn Profile Visitor Phantom (which can extract visible contact information even without enrichment).
• Or download your LinkedIn data archive directly from LinkedIn.
Keep in mind:
• The LinkedIn Profile Scraper does not extract contact info (like emails) unless email discovery is enabled.
• The LinkedIn Profile Visitor can extract personal contact details from visible sections of the profile, and with email discovery enabled, it can also enrich with additional professional details (if available).
