Using Clay to Scrape LinkedIn Profiles and Retrieve Posts
Is there a way to use Clay to scrape a LinkedIn profile and retrieve the most recent posts in real time?
Yes, we have a few options to retrieve recent LinkedIn posts using Clay: 1. Our "Social Posts" feature can find recent professional posts from specific individuals. You can use it as an import source or as an action/enrichment column to get posts, comments, shares, and likes. 2. Claygent, our AI web scraper, can locate LinkedIn profiles and extract valuable information, including recent posts. It's particularly effective for finding thought leadership content like blogs, interviews, and articles related to a specific person. For real-time data, Claygent is your best option as it can access current web information. If you need further assistance or have more specific requirements, please let me know.

Yes, Clay can be integrated with an HTTP API to retrieve LinkedIn data, but it's not for direct scraping. Here's what you can do: 1. Use Claygent: Our AI web scraper can access current web information, including LinkedIn profiles and recent posts. 2. Use the "Social Posts" feature: This can find recent professional posts from specific individuals, either as an import source or an action/enrichment column. 3. Integrate with LinkedIn Community: We offer HTTP API actions to enrich social metadata for LinkedIn content (posts, shares, comments) and find post audience. For real-time data, Claygent is your best option. If you need more specific details on setting up these integrations, let me know.
