Finding 1st-Degree Connections for Target Accounts in Sales Nav

I've gotten a request to find all contacts that have 1st-degree connections with someone at our company for a set list of ~4k target accounts so our sales team can name-drop the connection. The only way I can determine to do this with Sales Nav is running a separate search for each current employee (there's a feature that would work if everyone had Sales Nav licenses, but alas, 90% of our company is not on Sales Nav). Our Clay CSM recommended using this Apify Actor, but after messing around with it today I don't think there's any way to scrape connections for anyone but yourself (it's based on cookies, not LinkedIn profile URLs). Has anyone done or have any ideas on how to do this successfully with Clay?

    After some more research it looks like it's possible with PhantomBuster, but not the Phantom I've seen recommended elsewhere (LinkedIn Connections Export, which also uses cookies and is just for the running user's connections) - using this one instead: LinkedIn Search Export Phantom. Going to try this out today but sharing here in case anyone's stuck trying to do the same thing (Sagar M.)!

    Hey Jenna, thanks for the message and sharing the details about your test! That helps everyone in the community. And yes, you're correct that these scrapers are limited to your cookies so you'd have to either log into each account or use that Phantom, have not seen it before either, but curious if it can handle that use case. Let me know if you run into any issues in any Clay side of things! :D
