Partial Data (Auth Wall)

When LinkedIn blocks full access, the scraper returns available meta data:

{
"inputUrl":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/someuser",
"scrapedUrl":"https://www.linkedin.com/authwall?...",
"type":"profile",
"name":"Some User",
"headline":"Software Engineer at Company",
"isPartialData":true,
"scrapedAt":"2026-01-26T08:30:00.000Z"
}

Technical Details

Anti-Detection Measures

• Browser Fingerprinting - Realistic Chrome/desktop fingerprints via useFingerprints
• Stealth Headers - Proper Sec-Ch-Ua, Sec-Fetch-* headers matching real Chrome
• WebDriver Masking - Overrides navigator.webdriver and other automation indicators
• Human-like Behavior - Random delays, scrolling, variable viewport sizes
• Popup Dismissal - Automatically closes LinkedIn auth modals and popups

Limitations

• Public profiles only - Private profiles cannot be scraped without authentication
• Rate limiting - LinkedIn may block after many requests from the same IP
• Auth walls - Some profiles trigger login requirements regardless of settings

Best Practices

1. Use Residential Proxies for higher success rates on difficult profiles
2. Keep concurrency low (1-2) to avoid triggering rate limits
3. Provide cookies for authenticated scraping when possible
4. Space out runs to avoid IP-based blocks

Proxy Options

Cost Estimation

• Datacenter proxy: ~$0.25 per 1000 requests
• Residential proxy: ~$12.50 per 1000 requests (higher success rate)
• Compute: ~$0.10 per 100 profiles
