Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a reliable way to scrape public LinkedIn data, more specifically making a search for certain keywords. The UI is so terrible that I am sick of doing this manually and would be happy to pay money to someone to solve this problem (if only LinkedIn took my money and offered a decent API or no-bullshit UI).

I could spend ages and build my own solution using Selenium (it seems easier to just run a real browser to evade their bot-detection systems) but I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem so I wonder, is there a company out there that provides such a service for a reasonable fee?

Thanks!
