recommended tool for linkedin post scraping

For LinkedIn post scraping, there are a couple of recommended options: 1. Clay's built-in Claygent - This is an AI research tool with web access. For best results, you can use it with advanced AI models like Argon or OpenAI's GPT 4o. 2. Third-party services like Apify or Phantombuster - These services can be integrated with Clay to import post data. However, please note that since these services use your LinkedIn account for scraping, there's a risk of your account being blocked by LinkedIn, so use them cautiously. Keep in mind that Clay's own post data comes from public web scraping and doesn't connect directly to LinkedIn accounts. This means that posts might be missed if someone has a private account, hasn't been active recently, or if their content hasn't been publicly scraped.
