how does Clay rotate its proxies behind the scene? I'm using claygent and gpt to search for info on Linkedin, with same profiles, it would successfully redrive info but then if I try again it says it's unable to access Linkedin due to restrictions

    When using Claygent for LinkedIn research, it's important to understand that Clay accesses data through public web scraping rather than direct LinkedIn connections. For best results when using Claygent, you should: 1. Use advanced AI models like Argon or OpenAI's GPT-4 for optimal performance 2. Be mindful that access may be intermittent since it relies on public scraping 3. Space out your searches to avoid triggering LinkedIn's access restrictionsIf you continue experiencing access issues, you may want to consider alternative services like Apify or Phantombuster that can be integrated with Clay. However, please note that since these services use your LinkedIn account, there's a risk of being blocked by LinkedIn, so use them cautiously.
