LinkedIn Profile Scraper — Deep Extraction via Voyager API

Scrape LinkedIn profiles with full structured data: name, headline, about, experience history, education, skills, certifications, honors, projects, contact info (email, phone, websites). Bring your own li_at cookie — match proxy country to where you logged in.

Pricing

Scenario	Per profile	1,000 profiles
Profile scrape	$0.005	$5
+ Contact enrichment (email, phone, websites)	+$0.005	+$5

Adaptive billing — you only pay when we deliver:

• status="blocked" / "not_found" / "failed" → never billed
• Contact enrichment only charged when data is actually returned

Features

• Full Voyager API data — 25+ structured fields per profile (deeper than $3/1K public-HTML scrapers)
• Single request per profile — all fields returned in one call, no extra cost for more fields
• Streaming results — profiles push to dataset as they complete
• Resume cache — re-running same URLs within 1h hits cache, no re-charge
• Open source — inspect the parser, no black box

⚠️ Critical — Proxy Country Must Match Your Cookie

LinkedIn ties session validity to IP geography. Your li_at cookie was issued in the country where you signed in. If the proxy uses a different country, LinkedIn deauthorizes the cookie within 1-2 requests.

Where you sign into LinkedIn	Set proxy_country to
Vietnam	VN
United States	US
United Kingdom	GB
Germany	DE
Japan	JP

Mismatched country = dead cookie. Always match.

How to Get Your Cookie

1. Sign into LinkedIn in your normal browser
2. Open DevTools (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I)
3. Application tab → Storage → Cookies → https://www.linkedin.com
4. Find the li_at row → copy the Value column
5. Paste into the cookie field
6. Note your sign-in country — set that as proxy_country

Cookies typically last ~1 year when used from the same geo.

FAQ

Will my cookie get my account banned? Stick under the default rate limits (max_requests_per_minute: 30, max_concurrency: 5) for sustainable use. LinkedIn flags accounts pulling thousands of profiles per hour.

How long does a cookie last? ~1 year when used from the same country/IP. If runs start returning 401s: (1) check proxy_country matches your login geo, (2) paste a fresh cookie.

Will all fields populate on every profile? Depends on what the profile owner filled in and their privacy settings. Core fields (name, headline, experience, education) almost always populate. Skills, honors, projects etc. only show when the person added them.

Why is this cheaper than other LinkedIn scrapers? No managed auth overhead, no browser farm, no session maintenance. You provide a valid cookie, we make efficient API calls. Simple.
