How it works

1. Chrome TLS fingerprint — curl_cffi impersonates Chrome's TLS/JA3/HTTP2 signatures so LinkedIn treats requests as a real browser
2. Residential proxy rotation — Apify's managed pool rotates IPs automatically to avoid rate limits
3. Guest API for jobs — LinkedIn's public job search API provides reliable, structured results
4. Public page scraping — profiles, companies, and posts are scraped from publicly accessible LinkedIn pages
5. JSON-LD extraction — structured metadata (Schema.org) embedded in pages provides accurate, stable data
6. Auto-enrichment — job search results are automatically enriched with full detail page data

Best practices

• Start small — test with 5-10 items first, then scale up
• Jobs are most reliable — guest API works consistently for hundreds of results
• Profiles are rate-limited — ~3-5 per IP, but residential proxy rotation handles this automatically
• Posts need URLs — LinkedIn doesn't offer public post search. Get URLs from LinkedIn, then paste them here.
• Companies need slugs — use the company URL slug (e.g. "microsoft" from linkedin.com/company/microsoft)

Technology

Built with:

• Crawlee — Apify's scraping framework (retries, proxy rotation, rate limiting)
• curl_cffi — Chrome TLS fingerprint impersonation
• BeautifulSoup — HTML parsing
• No browser, no Selenium, no Playwright — pure HTTP. 256MB memory.
