¿LinkedIn permite el scraping?

Does LinkedIn allow scraping?

In order to protect our members’ data and our website, we don’t permit the use of any third party software, including “crawlers”, bots, browser plug-ins, or browser extensions (also called “add-ons”), that scrapes, modifies the appearance of, or automates activity on LinkedIn’s website.

To be clear, scraping isn’t always bad. Search engines are expressly authorized to scrape in order to collect and index information throughout the internet. When people search and find links with snippets of information, that kind of scraping ultimately benefits both the websites and the users of search services.

To export LinkedIn connections:

1. Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
2. Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown.
3. Click Data privacy on the left rail.
4. Under the How LinkedIn uses your data section, click Change next to Get a copy of your data.
5. Select Want something in particular?
6. Select Connections.

Here at Mantheos we conduct LinkedIn scraping legally, scraping data that is freely and publicly available on LinkedIn. This means that we collect data that is accessible to the general public.

Web scraping and crawling aren’t illegal by themselves. After all, you could scrape or crawl your own website, without a hitch. Big companies use web scrapers for their own gain but also don’t want others to use bots against them.

How to scrape LinkedIn. LinkedIn Profile Scraper takes a list of LinkedIn profile URLs as an input. It will visit each profile on your behalf and extract every single piece of publicly available data from it: Name, Title, Current Position, Company, Bio, Education and professional emails with the email discovery option.

Previously, page admins only had access to general demographics and aggregate numbers of followers on their page. LinkedIn now lets you export a summary of this data into a spreadsheet but follower names aren’t included in the export.

The solution is to use a LinkedIn email finder, otherwise known as a LinkedIn email scraper. Whatever you want to call it, this type of tool can help you extract emails from LinkedIn profiles.
