Claygent can access LinkedIn profiles and extract information like work experience, awards, and summaries. However, for LinkedIn company pages using our native LinkedIn Community API integration, you must be an admin of the page - otherwise you'll get a "forbidden" notification when the source fails to run.
Since you mentioned getting an error, could you copy and paste the specific error message you're seeing? This will help me troubleshoot the issue more effectively.
The LinkedIn URL provided leads to a profile, but due to restrictions on automated data scraping, I cannot access or retrieve personal content such as LinkedIn posts directly.
This error indicates LinkedIn is blocking automated scraping attempts. Claygent can access LinkedIn profiles and extract information like work experience, awards, and summaries.
Try these alternatives:
• Use our "Enrich Person from Profile" feature instead - it leverages LinkedIn information by providing a LinkedIn URL to retrieve comprehensive details.
• Use Prospeo or Findymail integrations which can find work emails and enrich person data from LinkedIn profile URLs.
These methods work around LinkedIn's scraping restrictions while still accessing the profile data you need.
