Guide to Accessing Company Updates from LinkedIn via Clay University

Hello, I am very new to clay so I apologize if I sound dumb but I referred to the Clay University but couldn't find anything on how to pick up recent developments from a company's LinkedIn page? I tried the scrape website claygent and added input as the LinkedIn and it worked for one company but for others it says the following: Despite attempting to locate and access the company's posts on LinkedIn, the platform settings and access restrictions prevent directly retrieving such information. Additionally, LinkedIn content is often only visible to logged-in users and can vary based on each user's network and privacy settings. did not provide updates directly accessible via scraping or search capabilities. I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

You can use Clay's "Companies, People, and Jobs" integration to find recent posts from a company's LinkedIn page. This is a more reliable method than using the website scraper, as it's specifically designed to work with LinkedIn's platform.The reason you're experiencing issues with direct website scraping is that LinkedIn has strict access restrictions and privacy settings that can prevent scraping for certain company pages. Using the native integration will help bypass these limitations. Source: Companies, People, and Jobs x Clay integration | Clay.com

So in this case in order to use the integration mentioned above, if I use the companies integration it will again require me to scrape website and LI for recent developments based on the posts and comments, how do I get recent developments and interests from LinkedIn profiles of people from a particular company?

Hi Hamza! Thank you for reaching out! To gather recent developments and interests from LinkedIn profiles or company pages, I recommend exploring Apify’s LinkedIn Post Search Scraper. This tool is specifically designed to extract recent posts from LinkedIn profiles and company pages. Given LinkedIn’s restrictions, this solution works effectively by leveraging Apify’s automation capabilities. To integrate Apify with Clay and streamline your workflow, follow our detailed guide here: Pull Data from Apify Actor with Apify. Additionally, here’s a video tutorial that walks you through setting up the integration: How to Set up your Apify Integration in Clay. Keep in mind that both Apify and LinkedIn require live session cookies to access this data, so be sure to proceed carefully while adhering to LinkedIn’s terms of service. If you have any other questions or need additional help, feel free to ask! 😊
