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.
Specify the number of profiles you want
You have two ways to specify how many profiles you would like here:
1. Per search
The number of profiles you'd like to extract from each specific search.2. Per day
The number of profiles you'd like to be extracted each day, up to 100 per day.
(If the Phantom does not scrape all of the profiles from one search in one day, it will pick up from where it left off the next day.)Take note: LinkedIn only displays the first 1000 results of a search, or 2500 on Sales Navigator, so the Phantom won't be able to access any more than this for one search. To get more, alter your search query in several ways and extract the results from each variation.
Enrich your leads with verified professional email addresses
Turn LinkedIn profiles into full-fledged leads by enriching them with professional email addresses.
How email discovery works:
The service uses each profile’s full name and company name to search for a professional email address, verify it, and return the result.Choose your enrichment method:
1. Use PhantomBuster credits
Each PhantomBuster plan includes monthly email discovery credits:1 credit = 1 attempt to find and verify an email for 1 profile.
Credits reset monthly.
2. Use your own third-party service
Connect an external email discovery tool by entering your API key from one of these platforms:Take note: Not every profile will return a verified email address, but this step can dramatically increase your chances of landing in inboxes, not just InMail. It depends on the data available, so your number of emails found may be lower than your credits used.
