What it really isScrapingdog LinkedIn Scraper API — a credit-based API for extracting public LinkedIn profile, company, post, and job data at scale.
Our takeScrapingdog offers a broad web-scraping platform with dedicated LinkedIn endpoints covering person profiles, company pages, posts, and jobs.
The product has a permanent free tier (200 credits/month, no card required), which makes it freemium. Entry paid plan is $40/month for 200K credits — enough for ~4,000 unprotected LinkedIn profile requests. Proxy rotation and anti-block handling are built in, and failed requests are never charged.
Why we rate itTransparent credit costs per endpoint type, a no-card free tier for evaluation, failed-request forgiveness, and competitive per-profile pricing at scale make this one of the more honest developer-facing LinkedIn scraping offerings.
The catchLinkedIn's anti-scraping measures mean protected profiles cost double the credits and rely on async webhooks, adding latency.
The free tier's 200 credits covers only ~4 unprotected profile requests — barely enough for meaningful testing.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: free account activated immediately, no credit card; first API call possible within minutes using their docs.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Credit costs compound quickly at volume — 1M protected profile scrapes require the $200/mo PRO plan or above; enterprise workloads jump sharply to $4K+/mo.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: JSON output is fully portable; no proprietary storage or dashboards lock in your data.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
