Connect to LinkedIn using PhantomBuster's browser extension
This automation acts on your behalf on LinkedIn. The safest and most efficient way for the Phantom to connect to your account is by using your session cookie, which you can retrieve using PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a simple 2-click installation:
If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.
Give the URLs of the LinkedIn profiles you're interested in
You have two options:
1. Process a single profile
Copy the LinkedIn profile URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.2. Process multiple profiles
Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the LinkedIn profile URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.
Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.
Set the Phantom on repeat
Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!
This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.For more automatic launch options, click on the three little dots in the top right and "Show advanced settings."
Best practices for using the LinkedIn Activity Extractor Phantom
Start slowly:
Up to 10 profiles per launch if retrieving fewer than 100 results per profile.
Up to 5 profiles per launch if retrieving 100+ results per profile.
Monitor performance:
If experiencing disconnections or blocks, reduce the number of profiles.
Gradually increase the number if everything runs smoothly.
If you’re scraping more profiles per launch:
Respect the daily limits:
--> Standard account: No more than 80 profiles per day (half of that amount if scraping 100+ results per profile)
--> Premium account: No more than 150 profiles per day.
Use a proxy close to your real geolocation.
Retain the same IP to avoid detection.
Note: Results include posts, comments, and articles.
