No, Scrapeli is not mentioned as a tool for scraping LinkedIn company followers in the information I've found. Clay offers a data point called "Company Linkedin Followers" which allows users to discover how popular a company is on LinkedIn by seeing the number of followers it has. Similarly, there's a data point for individual contacts called "Contact # LinkedIn Followers" which shows how popular a contact is on LinkedIn based on their follower count.Are you looking for a specific tool to gather LinkedIn follower data, or are you interested in how Clay can help with this kind of information?

Hi Avi. You cannot set this up directly in clay at the moment. However tools like Phantombuster & Apify.com have scrapers that can pull follower data and the results can be imported through the integration. However, both options use your live session cookies which may risk your LI account. Let me know if this helps. I found this actor, for example, which should get the job done for your specific use case. Apify integrates with Clay, so you'll be able to build tables based on Apify actor runs, or trigger actor runs at strategic points in your workflow. Here's how you can set up a Clay table from an Apify actor run: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1294872735/e4b451582ec70056285964fd7061/CleanShot-2B2024-08-06-2Bat-2B15_48_57.gif?expires=1734025500&signature=30964a8f51e1e8789bab94740ecb174856a8e93dd79ea71c91eccdec9e25b25b&req=dSIuEsF5n4ZcXPMW1HO4zSdBTkMklZ2dA%2FVYBjzKXQtIcQ%3D%3D%0A And here's how you can trigger an Apify actor in an active workflow: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1294872739/69388a285e719a6318d80fc73690/CleanShot-2B2024-08-07-2Bat-2B11_15_01.gif?expires=1734025500&signature=8457d2ab10f04e6b5f32a35db9d0ae3a1d3a57d392d65eb1720920e9f934057a&req=dSIuEsF5n4ZcUPMW1HO4zcOYYLqVmgIKudNkFJZ7RzAGpw%3D%3D%0A For the trigger-based approach you'll likely have to study the documentation of the specific actor, to see what JSON payload it expects to trigger the run. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!
Thanks for the detailed response!
Happy to help!
What I'm trying to do is find certain prospects that follow a linkedIn page.
It's not possible to know followers data from LinkedIn. The best way to do this would be to find who liked their posts with a tool like PhantomBuster and Apify to extract it!
