LinkedIn Datasets: LinkedIn Data Resources

What's the point of LinkedIn data resources anyway?

The old iron who has engaged in network data collection knows that LinkedIn, a social platform for the workplace, is a gold mine. Enterprises recruiting candidates to check the background of candidates, do market research to analyze industry trends, and even do competitive analysis have to dig data from here. But the problem is - directly on the script batch capture?I'll block your IP in a minute!

Why does manual acquisition always turn over?

Last week, a friend who is a headhunter complained to me that he used his home broadband to check 200 user profiles in a row, and his account was restricted from logging in the next day. This scene is all too familiar - the anti-crawling mechanism of the website is not a vegetarian.Alerts must be triggered for high-frequency accesses from the same IPThe most important thing is that many companies now use dynamic CAPTCHA. What's even more pitiful is that many companies now use dynamic CAPTCHA, which is a pain in the ass to recognize with the human eye.

How do proxy IPs break the mold?

That's when it's time for the big kill:Exclusive IP Pool for ipipgoThe amount of data collected has directly increased by 10 times after using dynamic residential IP rotation. To cite a real case, there is an overseas recruitment team, the original daily maximum collection of 300 pieces of data, with a dynamic residential IP rotation, the collection of direct 10 times. The specific operation is simple:

import requests
proxies = {
    "http": "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020",
    "https": "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020"
}
response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=10)

Note that you have to replace the user and pass with the authentication information you got in the ipipgo background, and remember to choose the corresponding IP type for different business scenarios:

Avoiding the pitfalls guide to focus on

1. Don't be cheap and use free proxies--Nine out of ten freebies are potholes, and the one that's left is on the run.
2. Frequency of requestsSimulation of real-life operationDon't do it too hard.
3. Don't fight hard when encountering CAPTCHA, go to a coding platform if you need to.
4. The ipipgo backend has aIntelligent switching modeI don't know. Just turn it on, you lazy bastard.

How to choose a reliable service provider?

There are many proxy IP service providers on the market, but there are not many that can really fight. Last year our team tested more than a dozen, and finally locked up ipipgo just because of these three points:

1. IP inventory is large enough--50 million+ resource pools worldwide, you can switch at any time.
2. Guaranteed success rate--Optimized links specifically for LinkedIn
3. Price transparency-Unlike some platforms that play word games and use as much as they can.

Finally give a piece of advice: data collection is a protracted war, rather than tossing yourself to be blocked, it is better to use professional tools early. Sign up for ipipgo now and you'll also get3-Day Free Trial, enough for you to test out the true chapter.
