    To clarify, these likely won't be publicly shared

    To extract the names you may need the Clay chrome extension

    Thanks for this, the number of followers doesn't help me that much. These are just high intent pages where if someone follows them, they would likely be a good for us. so I'm not sure where I would map it to as the names of the followers are not public unless I'm missing something.

    I watched the video, but I don't quite know how to do it. Any chance you could send me a loom with the process?

    Hey Dominick, happy to chip in! Our extension may work sometimes but since it hasn't been updated in a while, LI may block it or update their fields to prevent scraping and make it difficult to re-map the attributes.There are other scraping tools that may be able to scrape this for you until our team prioritizes updates for the Clay Extension, tools like Phantombuster could maybe help get that list of followers and their profiles/URLs

    Thanks Arturo O. but if I can't see the page followers on the company page, What would I be scraping? I guess this is what I'm confused about and was wondering if I could see a loom demonstrating so I can see what I'm missing.

    Hey Dominick C., sorry for the delay. I see now, I was certain that LI allowed people to see the full list of company followers that weren't mutual connections but if that was true, then maybe they blocked that to prevent mass scraping(?).

    The only other option is to scrape leads from people who have reacted or commented on their posts.
