Yes, you can use Claygent, our AI web scraper, to gather information about LinkedIn groups that people are active in. Claygent enables real-time data retrieval from the internet, including information from LinkedIn profiles. When using Claygent for LinkedIn profile enrichment, you can extract various valuable information including work experience, awards, summary, and potentially group participation details. The process typically involves providing input variables that help Claygent locate specific LinkedIn profiles, after which it can extract the relevant information about group activity and other profile details.
didnt work, i always get this result even if i know there are groups
my prompt: #CONTEXT# You are tasked with identifying which LinkedIn groups a specific person is a member of, using their unique identifier from the provided data table. #OBJECTIVE# Find and list all LinkedIn groups that the person identified by Personal LI Url is a member of. #INSTRUCTIONS# 1. Use the value in Personal LI Url to identify the person (this may be a LinkedIn profile URL or another unique identifier). 2. Navigate to the person's LinkedIn profile using the identifier. 3. Locate and extract the names and URLs of all LinkedIn groups that the person is a member of. If group URLs are not available, extract only the group names. 4. If the person's group memberships are not publicly visible or cannot be found, return an empty list. 5. Do not infer or guess group memberships—only extract what is visible on the profile. #EXAMPLES# Input: Personal LI Url = https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe Expected Output: "group_name": "AI Professionals", "group_url": " https://www.linkedin.com/groups/123456" , "group_name": "Marketing Leaders", "group_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/groups/654321" If no groups are found: output "no groups"
Hey, Unfortunately, LinkedIn doesn’t make group memberships publicly visible on user profiles. This means that even with a direct profile URL, it’s not possible to retrieve a list of groups someone has joined. The prompt you’ve been using is technically sound, but due to LinkedIn’s privacy settings, it won’t yield the desired results. Group memberships are private information and aren’t accessible through public profiles or standard scraping methods. If you’re looking to gather insights about a person’s professional interests or affiliations, you might consider alternative approaches, such as analyzing their activity, posts, or connections. Let me know if you have more questions
thanks
