Where the LinkedIn Scraper Works
Open any of these LinkedIn pages and the extension detects it automatically — no URLs to paste, no configuration
Company Pages
Open any company page and export its post history — content, post type, reactions broken down by type, comment and repost counts, timestamps, and post URLs. The fastest way to audit a competitor’s content cadence.
Profiles
Open a profile and export the full detail: headline, location, about, experience, education, skills, certifications, and follower and connection counts. Contact fields are only captured for your own 1st-degree connections.
Single Posts
Open one post and export everyone who engaged with it — every reaction with the reactor’s name and headline, or the full comment thread including nested replies and per-type reaction breakdowns.
Profile Posts
Open a person’s activity and export the posts they published — text, media, article metadata, and engagement counts. Useful for vetting a creator or tracking what a prospect talks about publicly.
Home Feed
Scrape your own LinkedIn feed to snapshot what your network is posting, including promoted posts flagged as sponsored — handy for trend tracking and competitive monitoring.

LinkedIn Scraper FAQ
How do I extract data from LinkedIn for free?
Install the InsightSocial Chrome extension, open the LinkedIn page you care about — a company page, a profile, a post, or your feed — and the extension detects it automatically. Pick what to collect, click Start, and it scrolls and gathers the data in your own browser. Export to Excel, CSV, or JSON in one click. Scraping and reviewing the results are unlimited — only exported rows are metered, and the free plan includes 500 export credits per month.
Is there a free LinkedIn scraper Chrome extension?
Yes — this one. InsightSocial is a free Chrome extension that scrapes LinkedIn posts, comments, reactions, and profiles without an API key or any coding. The free tier gives you unlimited scraping and 500 export credits per month, one credit per exported row. Pro starts at $7.99/month billed yearly (or $9.99 month-to-month) with 10,000 export credits per month if you need more volume.
How do I export LinkedIn data to Excel?
Every scrape can be exported as a real Excel .xlsx file, as CSV, or as JSON — one click each, no copy-paste and no reformatting. Results also sync to your web dashboard, so you can browse, filter, and re-export them later from any device.
Can I scrape LinkedIn without using the API?
Yes, and for most use cases you have to. LinkedIn’s official API is gated behind Partner Program approval and mostly limits you to your own content, so it cannot return other people’s posts, the reactors on a post, or search results. A browser extension reads what LinkedIn already renders in your own logged-in session, which is why it can reach data the API will not expose.
Can I export everyone who reacted to a LinkedIn post?
Yes. Open the post and run the reactions scrape — you get one row per reactor with their name, headline, profile URL, connection degree, and which reaction they left (like, celebrate, support, love, insightful, or funny). This is the fastest way to turn a well-performing post into a warm outreach list.
Can I scrape LinkedIn comments and replies?
Yes. On a single post the comments scrape captures the full thread as structured rows, including nested replies linked back to their parent comment, each commenter’s name and headline, per-type reaction counts, and flags for edited, pinned, and author-contributed comments. Because commenters carry job titles, the export doubles as a contact list.
Is scraping LinkedIn legal?
Collecting publicly visible data for research and analysis is generally permitted in most jurisdictions, but you are responsible for complying with LinkedIn’s User Agreement and with the laws that apply to you, especially around personal data and outreach. InsightSocial only captures what is already shown to you on the pages you visit — it never accesses private accounts, InMail, or hidden data.
Need to scrape other platforms?
InsightSocial also supports Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.
