    We offer a data point called "Company LinkedIn Followers" that allows you to discover how popular a company is on LinkedIn by seeing the number of followers it has. This information is available through our integrations with data providers like Companies, People, and Jobs, Nimbler, and People Data Labs. While we don't use the term "scraping," we provide this data through legitimate API integrations. If you need more details on how to use this feature or have specific questions, please let me know.

    Hey Palash, thanks for reaching out. Yes, company follower data scraping is possible using third-party tools like PhantomBuster and Apify. ** PhantomBuster: You can use the "LinkedIn Company Follower Collector" to scrape LinkedIn followers. This requires your LinkedIn session cookie, identity, and the URL of the company's LinkedIn page. The tool will generate a list of followers, which you can import into Clay for further enrichment and analysis . ** Apify: This tool can also scrape LinkedIn follower data, but it involves using your LinkedIn cookies, which might risk losing access to your LinkedIn profile . These methods allow you to gather follower data, but be aware of potential privacy policy infringements when using such tools. In addition, you can scrape the profiles of all followers using above tools. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know! 😊 Have a great Tuesday, Daniel

    I see - if you’re looking to see all the followers of a competitor, you can temporarily switch your employment to that company. That way, you’ll be able to view all their followers in Sales Nav. From there, you can export the list using tools such as "FullEnrich" (unlimited sales nav exports), "Scrupp.com", "Findymail", "Icypeas", "Datagma", "Prospeo" and others, and then upload them to Clay. Or with this APIFY scraper (we integrate with them): LINK.
