Issues with Scraping LinkedIn Using Claygent Tools
I tried to scrape the number of times a person is posting on linkedin using claygent but it wasn't able to do this. What is the reason for this, did linkedin tighten their security?
Claygent's ability to scrape LinkedIn post data is limited because we don't connect directly to LinkedIn accounts. Instead, we rely on public web scraping. This means that if someone hasn't been active, has a private account, or if their content hasn't been publicly scraped recently, Claygent might miss the posts. It's not necessarily due to LinkedIn tightening security, but rather the nature of how we collect data. For more comprehensive LinkedIn data, you could consider using services like Apify or Phantombuster, which can be integrated with Clay. However, be cautious as these use your LinkedIn account and may risk being blocked.
