How to Extract LinkedIn Profile Data with Airtop Studio

Collecting detailed professional information from LinkedIn profiles manually is tedious, error-prone, and doesn't scale. Traditional methods often rely on manual copy-pasting, fragile scraping scripts, or limited public APIs, making data gathering unreliable and incomplete. Professionals from sales teams, recruitment agencies, marketing departments, and market intelligence teams frequently face challenges in efficiently accessing structured LinkedIn data such as job history, education, skills, endorsements, and company affiliations.
