Scraping LinkedIn for Posts Based on Search Criteria

·
·

Any ideas about how to look/scrape for posts on Linkedin based on a search criteria? For instance: "looking for a web developer", "crm recommendation", "looking for a branding expert"

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

    Hey Amit, thanks for reaching out! The "Find Recent posts by user" enrichment can help with this. You can add the keywords you want to search for and set a date filter. Let me know if this helps!

    I don't want posts by one specific user. I want posts by one specific topic, from multiple users.

    Got it, thanks for explaining! Phantom Buster's LI search scrape (might risk your LI account) or Apify's LI Post scraper may be able to help with this.

    Nothing is worth risking your LinkedIn account. 😅 😅

    Apify’s post scraper doesn’t risk the account?

    I'd say it does as well. What puts your account at risk is the use of your LI session cookie which the Apify actor also requires to run.

    Makes sense.
