gooseworks-ai LinkedIn Scraper
Setup
Read scrapecreators-api first. Execute every operation below through the runtime it selects: the GooseWorks MCP tool in terminal-free clients, the GooseWorks CLI in a local terminal, or the direct API with the user's own key. Never assume a shell is available.
Scrape public LinkedIn data including profiles, company pages, and posts.
When to Use
- User asks about someone's LinkedIn profile
- User wants company information from LinkedIn
- Research on a professional or company
How It Works
Uses the ScrapeCreators API through its direct GooseWorks proxy.
Note: Scrape Creators LinkedIn endpoints use full LinkedIn URLs as the query parameter (not usernames).

- Private/restricted profiles return limited or no data
