Using Claygen for LinkedIn URL Scraping: Need Advice and Tips

·
·

Hello everyone! I’m looking to use Claygen for URL scraping. I’ve collected contact data from https://www.malt.fr/ Freelancer profiles. The issue is that Malt doesn’t provide LinkedIn profiles. Here’s what I’d like Claygen to do:

  • Perform a search like site:linkedin.com "{{fullName}}" "{{location}}" "{{skill}}".

  • Find a LinkedIn URL in the format: https://www.linkedin.com/in/.

  • Cross-check it with all the data I have to see if it matches.

  • If it does, provide me with the URL.

However, I’m not getting any results. Any ideas or advice?

    You can use Clay's template for searching LinkedIn profiles based on the information you have. Here's how:1. Start with Clay's template for searching LinkedIn profiles. 2. Input the available information you have from the Malt profiles: • Full name • Company name • Any other identifying information 3. Clay will help find matching LinkedIn profiles through its reverse waterfall enrichment process. The platform uses multiple methods including: • Finding profile URLs based on available data • Using Claygent to scrape the web for missing profile URLs • Enriching personal data using the found LinkedIn URLsYou can customize which LinkedIn data fields you want to import and search for specific keywords to help verify the correct profiles.
