<\/p>\n
But how does LinkedIn data scraping actually work?<\/p>\n
There are two main approaches to LinkedIn scraping.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
No-code LinkedIn automation tools:<\/b> These are user-friendly LinkedIn scraper tools that can extract public data on your behalf, such as PhantomBuster<\/a>. They can be set up in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Custom-written scripts:<\/b> If you're more technical, you can build a custom script. However, you must understand Python and API systems to export scraped data from LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Unless you're a confident tech insider, it's best to stick with a no-code web scraping solution.<\/p>\n
How to scrape LinkedIn posts data step by step (No-code)<\/h2>\n
Here's how to scrape LinkedIn public data using a no-code tool. In this example, we'll showcase how to scrape LinkedIn posts with PhantomBuster<\/a>, but you can use other tools too.<\/p>\nPhantomBuster's automation tool<\/a> can deliver detailed information for prospect or competitor analysis. You can follow market trends, boost your sales development process, and get to know your leads.<\/p>\nStep 1: Choose a LinkedIn automation tool<\/h3>\n
First off, choose a LinkedIn scraper<\/a> tool to extract data on autopilot.<\/p>\nIn this instance, you can try PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Activity Extractor Phantom<\/a>.<\/p>\nThis tool will:<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Analyze<\/b> a list of LinkedIn profiles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Export<\/b> their posts and other activity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nStep 2: Choose profiles to scrape data from<\/h3>\n
Copy the URL of the LinkedIn profile(s) you're interested in. These might be competitors, for example, or potential customers who you want to know better.<\/p>\n
In the 'Profiles to scrape' section of the LinkedIn Activity Scraper Phantom<\/a>, you can either:<\/p>\n\n- \n
Paste a single LinkedIn profile URL<\/b> in the setup<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Paste multiple LinkedIn profiles<\/b> into a public Google Sheet, then add the spreadsheet URL to the setup<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"linkedin-activity-extractor-phantom\"](\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-activity-extractor-phantom-3-scaled.webp\")
<\/p>\n
You can also connect this LinkedIn post scraper with the results of a previous Phantom<\/b>.<\/p>\n
For example, if you've already scraped<\/a> a list of profiles from LinkedIn search results, you can connect them by clicking 'My Phantoms.'<\/p>\nAnd finally, you can also connect your <\/b>LinkedIn leads<\/b><\/a> database<\/b> from your PhantomBuster account. You can create sublists using custom filters to analyze the right LinkedIn users.<\/p>\n![\"ai-lead-list-enrichment-filtered-data-phantombuster\"](\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ai-lead-list-enrichment-filtered-data-phantombuster-3-scaled.png\")
<\/p>\n
Step 3: Connect your LinkedIn account session cookie<\/h3>\n
Next, it's time to connect your LinkedIn account<\/a> via your session cookie.<\/p>\nThis allows PhantomBuster to scrape data from LinkedIn on your behalf. It will only scrape existing public data and cannot access your login details.<\/p>\n
![\"connect-linkedin-with-phantombuster-extension\"](\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/connect-linkedin-with-phantombuster-extension-3-scaled.webp\")
<\/p>\n
\nTo connect your session cookie, all you have to do is:<\/p>\n
Download<\/b><\/a> <\/b>the Chrome extension<\/p>\nDownload<\/b><\/a> <\/b>the Firefox extension<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThen click the 'Connect to LinkedIn' button, and your session cookie will appear automatically.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Choose LinkedIn scraper behavior<\/h3>\n
Select how many profiles<\/b> you want to process per launch.<\/p>\n
Remember that when you're using tools like PhantomBuster<\/a> for the first time, you should start slowly.<\/p>\nRate limits<\/a> exist to control how many actions you can run, and if you overdo it, then it could affect your LinkedIn account. Instead, respect the recommended LinkedIn limits<\/a> to avoid any restrictions.<\/p>\nYou can also choose what profile data<\/b> you want to gather.<\/p>\n
Data export options include:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Step 5: Set your LinkedIn scraper launch frequency<\/h3>\n
Decide how often you want to extract data from LinkedIn posts.<\/p>\n
Remember, rate limits exist for a reason! Rather than scraping LinkedIn posts in bulk, having multiple launches throughout the working day is best.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
