Linkedin Profile Scraper API
In Easy2Digital API, there are 5 endpoint parameters you can refer to and use to customize your scraping. Here is the introduction of the parameter as follows:
This is the sample of a full API endpoint in the script used to call and fetch the data.
linkedinProfiles = requests.get("http://easy2digital.onrender.com/api/1/linkedinProfileScraper?token=" + tokenA + "&companyname=" + companyName + "&title=" + title + "&searchapikey=" + api).json()[0]
- Token: This is the token given by Easy2Digital after you have subscribed to the free trial. Each subscriber has 50 free quotas per month offered by the free version
- Company name: It’s for users to add a company or a list of company names in a loop
- Title: It’s for users to add a company or a list of company names in a loop
- Search API Key: Add the Google search API key here and it’s totally free. You just need to sign up for a Google cloud account and get it in the Google API console. Each key has 100 limited searches per day. Nevertheless, you can create more projects and get more keys in fact.
Scraping Instruction Samples
1. Create an empty list and variables for parameters
LinkedinProfileResult = []
company = ("easy2digital", "IBM", "semrush")
title = "consultant"
api = ""
2. Build a loop if you need to scrape a list of companies and job titles
for companyName in company:
brandNews = requests.get("http://easy2digital.onrender.com/api/1/linkedinProfileScraper?token=" + tokenA + "&companyname=" + companyName + "&title=" + title + "&searchapikey=" + api).json()[0]
linkURL = brandNews['link']
titleName = brandNews['title']
element_info = {
"Title": titleName,
"Profile Link": linkURL
}
LinkedinProfileResult.append(element_info)
3. Manage the output of the result depending on your needs.
For the result, you can output and save in a CSV file or you can directly sync with a specific Google Sheet using gspread modules as mentioned in previous articles. Here I’m not going to elaborate in detail. Whichever approach you like to adopt, you can customize the orders, layout, and data to fetch as you like.
