LinkedIn Scraper

Setup

Read scrapecreators-api first. Execute every operation below through the runtime it selects: the GooseWorks MCP tool in terminal-free clients, the GooseWorks CLI in a local terminal, or the direct API with the user's own key. Never assume a shell is available.

Scrape public LinkedIn data including profiles, company pages, and posts.

When to Use

  • User asks about someone's LinkedIn profile
  • User wants company information from LinkedIn
  • Research on a professional or company

How It Works

Uses the ScrapeCreators API through its direct GooseWorks proxy.

Note: Scrape Creators LinkedIn endpoints use full LinkedIn URLs as the query parameter (not usernames).

Examples

Error Handling

  • success: false — the API may temporarily fail to access LinkedIn; retry after a few seconds
  • Private/restricted profiles return limited or no data
  • Rate limiting may apply — add short delays between sequential requests

Tips

  • Use full LinkedIn URLs (e.g., https://linkedin.com/in/USERNAME)
