LinkedIn Scraper

Setup

Read scrapecreators-api first. Execute every operation below through the runtime it selects: the GooseWorks MCP tool in terminal-free clients, the GooseWorks CLI in a local terminal, or the direct API with the user's own key. Never assume a shell is available.

Scrape public LinkedIn data including profiles, company pages, and posts.

When to Use

• User asks about someone's LinkedIn profile
• User wants company information from LinkedIn
• Research on a professional or company

How It Works

Uses the ScrapeCreators API through its direct GooseWorks proxy.

Note: Scrape Creators LinkedIn endpoints use full LinkedIn URLs as the query parameter (not usernames).

Error Handling

• success: false — the API may temporarily fail to access LinkedIn; retry after a few seconds
• Private/restricted profiles return limited or no data

• For companies, use the full company page URL
• Some profiles may have restricted visibility
