LinkedIn Crawler API: Compliant Access to Recruitment Data

Hands-On Proxy IP Compliance for Catching LinkedIn Jobs

Recently, many friends who do recruitment data analysis asked me, how can I crawl the job information on LinkedIn in a compliant way? Today we will break up the crumbs to talk about this matter. Focus on a core tool - proxy IP, especially our domesticipipgoThe service, use it and you'll know how much of a relief it is.

Why do you keep getting banned? It starts with the IP.

LinkedIn's anti-crawl mechanism is like a neighborhood access control, the same door card (IP address) in and out too often will definitely be targeted. I've seen people use their own broadband to crawl data, the result is that the next day the entire company's network is blacked out. At this time it is necessary toProxy IP RotationIt's the equivalent of changing your access card every time you enter or exit.

 Python example Proxy pooling with ipipgo
import requests
from itertools import cycle

proxy_pool = cycle([
    'http://user:pass@ip1.ipipgo.com:8000',
    'http://user:pass@ip2.ipipgo.com:8000', ...
     ... More nodes provided by ipipgo
])

for page in range(1, 10):
    proxy = next(proxy_pool)
    resp = requests.get(
        
        proxies={"http": proxy}, headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"} remember pseudo
        headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"} Remember to disguise your browser!
    )
     Processing the data logic...

The Three Fateful Things About Choosing a Proxy IP

There are a lot of proxy providers on the market, but the right one for LinkedIn has to meet these hard criteria:

Special reminder: don't try to cheap with free agents, those IPs have long been blacklisted by major platforms. Previously, a customer was greedy for cheap, the result is to climb to all the fake data.

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Tell us a real case: a recruitment platform with ipipgo'sDynamic Residential IPAfter the service, the data acquisition success rate soared from 37% to 89%. the key operation is just three points:

1. Randomly select countries for each request (but don't jump across continents, it's easy to get caught)
2. Work with real browser fingerprints (don't use Python's default UA)
3. Immediate suspension for 1 hour when encountering CAPTCHA (hard fighting will only lead to faster death)

Here's something you can try: adjust the crawling time to the target area's working hours and use ipipgo'sLocal Enterprise IP, so that it looks like normal HR is checking for posts.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Do I need to maintain my own IP pool?

Tell the truth.

I've seen too many people planted on the IP problem, a friend doing overseas recruitment, because of the use of a unreliable proxy service, worth millions of accounts said to be closed on the seal. The choice of proxy service is similar to looking for a partner, you have to look at the long-term stability. ipipgo has an advantage ofSupport pay-for-performance, crawl failures are not billed, which is especially friendly to startups.

A final reminder: compliance is the bottom line! Don't touch private personal data and follow LinkedIn's robots.txt rules. What we need to do is dance within the rules, not tear down people's stages. Use the right tools, use the right proxies, and data acquisition can be an art.
