Today, a quick introduction of two amazing tools for extracting unlimited data from Linkedin. Not really a tech discovery, I agree 🙂
Linkedin People and Company retrievers
You have many people names of many company names ? You need their Linkedin Profile urls ? Here is what you can use :
Why
These tools are LinkedIn profile retrievers : they generate a list of LinkedIn page URLs from a list of names. It’s a simple but very useful automation if you are looking to expand a database of potential clients or competitors for market research purposes. Linkedin has millions of users and companies, and it is a great source of data for business, recruiting or growth.
Some paths you could go through :
- find someone linkedin profile and use it to show your business product
- hunt someone on linkedin to recruit him
- enrich your lead database with linkedin profiles
Unfair advantages
These Linkedin retrievers have some big competitive advantage :
- No limits in number of pages
- Fast
- No authentification required
- API available for integration with zapier or other tools
- hidden IP with VPN like IPs

Alternatives Pros/Cons
- If you have used tools like phantombuster-profile-scraper You know how frequent you have to manually refresh the cookie. No need here. And no chance to be banned from linkedin because Linkedin won’t know it’s you ! Actually, to be faire, you could use both since they are complementary.
- LinkedIn People and company Finders will enable you to get way more data from LinkedIn than the official Linkedin API.

I built those tools, so I am “a bit” biased.
