what is the difference between a data point and enrichment?
Data Point vs Enrichment: A data point is a specific piece of information (like follower count), while enrichment is the process of enhancing your existing data by adding additional information from various sources. Enrichments in Clay transform your data by pulling in additional information from various sources - whether you need to verify email addresses, gather company details, or find social media profiles.

scraping own's linkedin followers
Clay doesn't have a direct feature to scrape your own LinkedIn followers. You can use Claygent, our AI web scraper, for real-time LinkedIn data retrieval, but this is primarily for profile information rather than follower lists. Our LinkedIn Community API integration can find people who interact with posts (reactors/commenters), but not your personal follower list. For scraping your own followers specifically, external tools like TexAU would be more appropriate since Clay's LinkedIn capabilities focus on enriching existing data rather than extracting personal follower lists.
and it is costly like $79/month
Clay doesn't have a direct feature to scrape your own LinkedIn followers. You can use Claygent, our AI web scraper, for real-time LinkedIn data retrieval, but this is primarily for profile information rather than follower lists. For one-time use, you could try our Chrome Extension to scrape any website, but this won't specifically target your follower list. Since you only pay Clay credits for data enrichment (not list building/prospecting), the cost would be based on actual data retrieved rather than a monthly subscription. However, for scraping your personal follower list specifically, external tools would be more appropriate since our LinkedIn capabilities focus on enriching existing data rather than extracting personal follower lists.
