"username":"williamhgates,satyanadella",

Proxy Recommendation

LinkedIn can restrict access from datacenter IPs. For reliable scraping at scale, use residential proxies. We recommend ThorData — their residential proxies provide consistent access to LinkedIn public pages.

Handling CAPTCHAs and IP Blocks

Many websites detect and block datacenter IPs. If you're seeing empty results or CAPTCHA errors, use a residential proxy service.

Recommended: ThorData Residential Proxies — rotating residential IPs that bypass most anti-bot systems. Configure in the Proxy settings when running this Actor.

Without a proxy, this Actor works best for low-volume, non-commercial use cases.
