Has anyone had success with LinkedIn APIs?

Question

Howdy folks. Has anyone here had success with using LinkedIn APIs to utilize people's Linkedin profile information?What do I mean exactly? Looking to see if anyone has had success finding LinkedIn APIs to:1. Pull profile information such as name, company, work history, education (currently, you can do this as a PDF download, but it requires users to manually do this)2. Pull company information on their company LinkedIn page such as the 'About' section and websiteHas anyone had success finding LinkedIn APIs to do this? If so, what did you have to do to get access?Thank you!

Nope, Microsoft aren't idiots. If they gave away this API access for free, this would cannabalize Sales Navigator and their paid products

I had to pull my company's most recent posts from our socials, LinkedIn was the only one where I gave up. LinkedIn was the only company that wanted a privacy policy, and also made you apply to gain access to the API.

Just use one of the many data providers that scrape (or maybe buy?) LI data and resell it via API (Nubela/Proxycurl, Prospeo...).

I&rsquo;ve worked with a dozen solutions and built several of my own to do this. Buzz.ai is my recommended solution. Great API, handles all the problems for you.

Nope, it's very limited, scraping is the way to go IMO
