Hello,
How are people able to scrape thousands of profile from a single search if LinkedIn sales navigator actually shows you only 2500 profiles? I understand you can play with the filters to reduce the amount but do they really do it like that?
I saw you can scrape over 15,000 profiles per day using a single LinkedIn Sales Navigator account. How do they do it?
Hello ! Indeed, some sofware allows you to extract as many as 15K profiles from a single Linkedin Sales Navigator search and with only one account. It also tells you if you have scraped certain profiles before (so you don’t enrich them again for nothing) and it tells you if the profiles correspond to the filters that you put in your search (Linkedin Sales Navigator will give you 20% to 40% of wrong prospects in the results). Hope it helps !
LinkedIn Sales Navigator’s 2,500-result cap generally applies to one visible result set, while the tool’s reported total is most plausibly built by partitioning the apparent search into narrower queries or result windows, collecting each subset, and deduplicating the profiles. As already mentioned, splitting is the key; the missing piece is aggregation: each partition stays under the cap, then all outputs are merged using a stable profile URL or ID as the deduplication key. That can produce a total above 2,500 without one unchanged Sales Navigator result set exposing more than 2,500 rows.
