Triggers include "find founders on LinkedIn", "scrape this LinkedIn profile", "get LinkedIn data for these people", "build a lead list from LinkedIn".
Why use this skill?
Efficiently scrape LinkedIn profiles and search results with the OpenClaw LinkedIn Scraper. Automate lead generation and data collection safely via your Chrome browser.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aspenas/linkedin-scraperWhat This Skill Does
The LinkedIn Scraper skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to perform automated web scraping of LinkedIn profiles, company pages, and search result lists using your authenticated Chrome session. By leveraging your browser's existing credentials, the agent bypasses the need for complex API keys, allowing it to navigate the platform as a human user would. The skill includes robust logic for extracting structured data, including name, headline, current roles, location, education, and professional biography. It features built-in safety mechanisms such as variable delays, rate limit monitoring, and randomized scrolling patterns to maintain account security while gathering lead information or conducting market research.
Installation
To integrate this capability into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aspenas/linkedin-scraper
Ensure your Chrome browser relay is active and that you are logged into your target LinkedIn account before triggering the skill.
Use Cases
- Lead Generation: Build targeted prospect lists based on specific job titles, industries, or company sizes.
- Recruitment Research: Quickly extract education and experience histories to screen potential candidates.
- Sales Intelligence: Automate the gathering of company information and employee counts from LinkedIn company pages.
- Market Analysis: Aggregate profile data to understand regional trends or professional clusters in a specific sector.
Example Prompts
- "Find founders of AI startups in San Francisco and scrape their LinkedIn profile details into my DuckDB workspace."
- "Search for senior product managers at top tech firms, list their contact data, and save the results as a CSV."
- "Scrape this specific LinkedIn profile: [URL], and give me a summary of their professional background and career trajectory."
Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: The skill is hard-coded to respect LinkedIn's infrastructure; do not attempt to override the 80-profile daily limit, or you risk account suspension.
- Authentication: Keep your browser tab open and active; the agent requires an authenticated session to function.
- Stealth: Avoid running concurrent scraping tasks from different sources to minimize the risk of being flagged by automated security systems.
- Data Integrity: Always verify the extracted data, especially for profiles with incomplete or non-standardized sections.
