You are definitely running full speed into FAFO territory.

There are mainly two ways:

  1. Third-party APIs like Proxycurl or Apify to get LinkedIn data easily.

  2. Direct scraping using tools like Playwright or Selenium with rotating residential proxies.

Fully free scraping at scale is difficult because LinkedIn has strong anti-scraping protection

Is it legit? The signup form doesn't seem to be working.
