Access LinkedIn profiles, company pages, job listings, and post data through a simple REST API. No LinkedIn Developer app approval, no OAuth flows, no restrictive partnership requirements — just an API key and structured JSON data.
Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.
Search and enrich candidate profiles with experience, skills, and education data. Build sourcing tools that find and qualify talent at scale without LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
Enrich CRM contacts with LinkedIn profile data, company information, and job titles. Build prospecting tools that identify decision-makers and track company updates.
Access company profiles with employee counts, industry, description, and specialties. Automate competitor research, market mapping, and investment due diligence.
Search and analyze job postings across companies, industries, and locations. Track hiring trends, skill demand, and salary ranges for labor market analytics.

The official LinkedIn API restricts access to your own profile data and requires OAuth, app approval (which can take weeks), and often partnership agreements. Scrappa provides access to any public LinkedIn profile, company, and job listing through a simple API key — no OAuth, no approval process, no restrictions.
