New York, United States, March 13, 2025 — Bright Data has released new scraper APIs, allowing users to extract large volumes of public data from LinkedIn for competitor analysis and market research. These tools enable businesses, analysts, and investors to gather data from LinkedIn profiles, companies, posts, and job listings.
The APIs automate data extraction, sending requests to LinkedIn based on user-defined data points. Extracted information is then delivered securely to cloud storage platforms such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Snowflake, or can be downloaded directly.
Business owners, marketers, and strategists can use the data to gain valuable insights into competitors’ strategies, company growth, and employee movement. A Bright Data spokesperson explained that the tool helps users track key professionals, identify key companies, and improve competitive intelligence.
For financial analysts, venture capital firms, and hedge fund managers, the scraper APIs provide access to industry trends, leadership insights, and market sentiment. The data supports smarter investment decisions by offering deeper analysis of company growth and technology direction.
The APIs also integrate with existing software, such as CRM platforms, allowing businesses to enhance lead-generation efforts with real-time customer data.
For users who prefer a simpler solution, Bright Data offers no-code scrapers. This plug-and-play tool allows users to input their data preferences and download results directly from a control panel.
To support rapid data mining, Bright Data’s extensive proxy server network ensures fast and reliable connections. This service saves users the cost and complexity of maintaining their own infrastructure and prevents common issues like IP restrictions and CAPTCHAs.
Bright Data guarantees that all data collection practices comply with global privacy regulations, including GDPR and CCPA, ensuring ethical and secure data usage.
