Why export data from linkedin ?
Sales Navigator search is the best source of public data for finding B2B prospects, but of course, LinkedIn wonât let you extract it and use it on your own to create marketing automations.
Our cold-emailing software Emelia.io now has its own integrated scraper (and its own LinkedIn automation tool coming soon), capable of extracting all data from LinkedIn, providing comprehensive information from LinkedIn profiles. As the article progresses, youâll understand why our linkedin data scraper is the best linkedin scraper on the market, and at an ultra-competitive price.
In this first part of the article weâll get straight to the point on how to extract data, then for those who want to go further youâll find additional information on our linkedin data extractor and links to other articles and videos at the end of the article.
How to scrape LinkedIn search results ?
1 - Download the Emelia extension
Go to the Chrome Web Store to download the chrome extension that will facilitate your LinkedIn exports. (If you really don't have Google Chrome, here's how to extract without the extension: Here )
2 - Open the LinkedIn Sales Navigator search module
You should see the Export with Emelia button, as in the photo below
If the page was already open before you downloaded the extension, you'll just need to reload the page for the button to appear.
3 - Perform your prospect search
Use the filters on the left to search for your prospect typology, and donât hesitate to open additional filters via the button at the bottom of the filter bar, to better segment your search.
You can complete or refine your search using keywords in the search bar, but normally the filters are sufficient. Additionally, you can use tools to scrape LinkedIn search results for extracting prospect data.
4 - Launch your search
Once you've completed your search, click on "Export with Emelia". After clicking on "Export with Emelia", a popup will open in Emelia with the Linkedin Sales Nav search url automatically filled in by our system. This will take you to Emelia to enter the name you want to give to your export, and then off you go!
5 - Now what?
Once youâve finished scraping, you can download your data extraction as a csv file or excel file, if youâd like to do a little sorting, or you can directly enrich this extracted data to find the e-mail addresses by clicking on the âFind Emailsâ button.
Because no, the scraper doesnât give you the email addresses directly, you have to go through an email enricher.
Once the enrichment is complete, youâll be able to download your file, either the whole file, or only those whose addresses youâve found, or only those whose email addresses you havenât found.
Or you can add them directly to one of your Emelia campaigns by using the appropriate button and then choosing the campaign you want.
Why is Emelia the best LinkedIn Sales Navigator scraper?
Scrape beyond the 2,500 contact limit.
99% of Linkedin scraping tools will tell you that you canât scrape a search result that exceeds 2,500. Their solution is for you to re-filter your search to arrive at a smaller result. For example, if you want to find all the CEOs in Paris, youâll have to filter by company size, then by seniority etc⊠and then scrape the results first, then come back the next day, remember your previous filter, make another⊠and so on, a whole calendar! With Emelia linkedin profile scraper, even if your search has 30,000 results, youâll be able to launch a single scrape linkedin and weâll take care of automatically slicing up this search for you and automatically scraping the different parts of your scraping every day. This approach ensures that scraping data, even for large search results, is handled efficiently and in compliance with LinkedIn's terms of service.
