Use Claygent, our AI web scraper, to extract LinkedIn profile data in real-time. If you have the LinkedIn URL, try the "Enrich Person from Profile" feature which retrieves comprehensive details using LinkedIn information. Why access might be limited: Our data providers don't use your active session or cookies, so some LinkedIn fields only visible when logged in may not be accessible. Alternative options: Consider Phantombuster or Apify integrations for more control, but these use your LinkedIn cookies and could risk account restrictions.

the clay agent returns errors that it can't access the linkedin page due to login walls, authentication walls, etc. .... is there a fix?

Try using a higher LLM model. E.g., nano had this issue for us until we switched to 4o-mini

resolved most of the way! I tried using phantom buster to pull it to mitigate but their connector is out of data and returns a non supported AWS cluster SDK that is out of commission. Frustrating how brittle the workflows are
