We don't scrape LinkedIn. We use some basic tools to infer the LinkedIn profile link for each person's page (e.g. [1]), but we don't actually scrape linkedin.

- derek12345derek 2y agoCan you please elaborate on this? If you don't scrape LI, where do the profile details come from (once you inferred the URL)? Is this publicly available data that can be bought as a bundle? Or is there any LI API that allows you to retrieve the profiles? thanks!
