LinkedIn Profile

Extract a public LinkedIn profile — experience, education, skills, certifications, publications, and volunteering.

API usage

Add &scraper=linkedin-profile to a Crawling API request. URL-encode the target URL in the url parameter.

curl 'https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_TOKEN' \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaitlyn-owen' \
  --data-urlencode 'scraper=linkedin-profile' -G
from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI

api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'})
res = api.get(
    'https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaitlyn-owen',
    {'scraper': 'linkedin-profile'}
)

import json
data = json.loads(res['body'])
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });

const res = await api.get(
  'https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaitlyn-owen',
  { scraper: 'linkedin-profile' }
);
const data = JSON.parse(res.body);
require 'crawlbase'
api = Crawlbase::API.new(token: 'YOUR_TOKEN')

res = api.get('https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaitlyn-owen', scraper: 'linkedin-profile')
data = JSON.parse(res.body)
