LinkedIn Crawler: Compliant Solution for Getting Recruitment Data

A. Why LinkedIn crawlers are always blocked? You may have stepped on these pits

The old iron in data collection should understand that LinkedIn's anti-crawl mechanism is tighter than a security door. The most common ones areExcessive frequency of IP access, the platform finds the same IP requesting like crazy and just puts a seal on you. There is another situationAbnormal account behavior, such as suddenly viewing unfamiliar user profiles in large numbers, or using a newly registered account to directly open the door.

Recently encountered a real case: a recruitment company with a local server directly connected, just climbed 200 job information, IP was blacklisted. Later, it changed to ipipgo's dynamic residential proxy, and each time the request was changed to a different region's real user IP, and the collection of 3 consecutive days did not trigger the wind control.

II. The core three elements of compliance to engage data

Here's the highlights for the guys:

1. to comply with the robot protocol (do not touch the prohibited fields to crawl)
2. request interval is not too hungry (recommended 5-10 seconds / time)
3. real behavior simulation (do not use scripts to brush)

Focusing on proxy IP selection, a direct comparison table:

Dynamic agent pools like ipipgo's have90 million+ real residential IPs, automatic switching per request, pro-tested with 10-second intervals, continuous running for a week is not a problem.

Third, the hand to configure the crawler agent

Demonstrated here in Python, same for other languages:

import requests
from time import sleep

proxies = {
    "http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口",
    "https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
}

def fetch_jobs(keyword):: for page in range(1, 100)
    for page in range(1, 100): url = f"{keyword}&page={page}".
        url = f "https://linkedin.com/jobs搜索接口?keywords={keyword}&page={page}"
        response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
         Remember to add a random delay of 5-15 seconds
        sleep(np.random.randint(5,15))
         Parsing data logic...

Be careful to match the valuesUser-Agent RotationDon't let all requests use the same browser fingerprint. ipipgo's backend can directly generate a proxy address with authentication, so you don't have to fiddle with authentication yourself.

Fourth, anti-blocking number first aid kit (collection of spare)

Don't panic if you've already been hit:

1. Immediately stop all operations on the current IP
2. Change the IP segment in the ipipgo backend.
3. Clear the browser cookies and local storage.
4. Operate with new IP + new account after 24 hours.

Here's a tawdry maneuver: spread out the collection time slots in theLocal working hours(e.g. US IPs run on 9-18pm US West time), which makes it harder for the platform to recognize anomalies.

V. QA first aid stations

Q: Is it okay to use a free proxy?
A: Tearful lesson! Free IPs are long blacklisted, and will be blocked just after connecting, and may leak data. Why don't you use ipipgo withAutomatic IP Cleaningservice, invalid IP replacement in seconds.

Q: Why am I still blocked even though I changed my IP?
A: Check if you are using virtual machine fingerprinting, now LinkedIn can detect VMware features. Suggest to go on ipipgo'sbrowser sandbox environmentIt is safer to use it with an agent.

Q: How much IP volume is needed per day?
A：According to 1 minute to collect 10 times, the whole day probably need 150 or so IP. ipipgo package just have150 IP/day slot, it is recommended to start with this configuration.

VI. Speak the truth

I have seen too many people greedy cheap with poor quality agent, the result of the account closed agent fee also hit the water. Reliable agent services to seeIP purityrespond in singingAfter-sales response timeThe last time I called the ipipgo tech guy at 2am, I was surprised that he answered in seconds and helped with the IP routing.

Lastly, don't think about gleaning LinkedIn data, and set the collection range reasonably. After all, we are doing serious business, compliance in order to long-term Chai rice is not it?
