This is awesome. also more than slightly technical for non-tech people... feel like sales people would struggle to do this, even though it feels made for them.
why is linkedin so against scrapers? Just in case one day they want to monetize this data?
Thank you man! Tried to make it as self service as possible but definitely recognize there's some nuance in there.
On the LinkedIn side, I met with the team that was supposedly going to be selling the data 2 years ago and since then it looks like the whole team has dissolved. My guess is that it's either a privacy line they are hesistant to cross or they're simply content that no other aggregator is doing a passable job and can keep the data in their back pocket should they want to sell it. Interestingly enough, a scraping case reached the Supreme Court with LinkedIn as the plaintiff but nothing was officially resolved and so the legality of scraping currently is pretty much a gray area. https://natlawreview.com/article/hiq-and-linkedin-reach-proposed-settlement-landmark-scraping-case
