Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a tool for automated extraction of data from LinkedIn profiles, both individual and company, based on user-defined criteria.
Yes, you can use the API to extract valuable data from company profiles for purposes like market research or competitor analysis.

No, this API cannot extract Jobs data from LinkedIn. However, we have LinkedIn Jobs API which can help you scrape jobs from LinkedIn.

Each API request consumes a certain number of credits based on the dedicated API you’re using.

For example the Google Search API costs 5 credits per request. So, if you make one request to the Google Search API, it will deduct 5 credits from the available credits in your account. The number of credits required per request can vary depending on the specific API you’re using.

You can find more details about the credit usage for each API in the documentation.
