Unfortunately, our current "Enrich Person from Profile" feature doesn't provide information about recommendations received on LinkedIn. This data, along with posts, blogs, events attended, and other detailed profile information, isn't typically available through standard enrichment processes. To access this level of detail, you'd likely need to scrape the LinkedIn profile directly, which isn't a service we provide. If you need this specific information, you might want to explore other specialized LinkedIn scraping tools or APIs.

While Apify actors can be used to scrape various data from LinkedIn, accessing the "recommendations received" section isn't typically possible due to LinkedIn's privacy restrictions. Apify actors are generally limited to publicly available information on LinkedIn profiles and company pages. Instead, you might consider using Apify to extract profiles that have interacted with company posts. This approach allows you to focus on active followers and can be more useful for prospecting or lead generation. Is there a specific reason you're interested in the "recommendations received" section? Understanding your goal might help us suggest alternative approaches or data points that could be more accessible and still meet your needs.
