How does the LinkedIn scraper API work?

The Parseium LinkedIn scraper API works by extracting structured data from LinkedIn pages using a custom parser you create.

How it works

1. Create a parser: Define the data fields you want to extract from LinkedIn (names, titles, companies, skills, etc.)
2. Configure extraction: Our AI helps you build CSS selectors and extraction rules for your target data
3. Get an API endpoint: Your parser becomes a REST API endpoint you can call with any LinkedIn URL
4. Extract data: Send LinkedIn URLs via our scrape endpoint or HTML via our parse endpoint
5. Receive structured data: Get back clean, type-safe JSON data matching your schema

Key features

• Always-warm browsers: Sub-second response times with pre-warmed browser instances
• Built-in proxies: Managed proxy rotation included—no need to manage your own
• Type-safe schemas: AI-generated schemas ensure consistent, validated output
• Custom fields: Extract exactly the data you need, nothing more
• JavaScript rendering: Full support for dynamic LinkedIn content

The API handles all the complexity of browser automation, proxy management, and data extraction so you can focus on using the data.
