Hey all, can you please help? • Is there a way to scrape all those who reacted on a post on LinkedIn and enrich them in a table without using the Clay Chrome Extension? The extension is very buggy and often brings back badly formatted data. • Is there a way to scrape linkedin for keywords in groups, or posts and push it in a table?

Our extension is currently being re-worked by the team since it hasn't been updated in quite some time. LinkedIn may occasionally make it difficult to scrape. Some similar extensions may help but as soon as we get that updated, it should be possible. cc Osman S. :)

Hi Petra what kind of bugs are you running into?

This is how the data is pushed into a table: https://app.clay.com/workspaces/83458/tables/t_5QnUz9ZMkQ3k/views/gv_QqgZ5VbyFAk6 The data in the columns is inconsistent. For example in a job title column, I'm finding 2nd and 3rd degree connection values instead of job title values
