From Extraction to Enrichment: Optimize Your App
Extracting User Data via URL
Direct URL integration for services like LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram simplifies data access by bypassing manual navigation within the user interface. Data retrieval can be automated through dedicated API methods, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency.
Steps for Data Extraction Using URLs
When working with LinkedIn outreach sequences, the first step is to collect profiles via search results. Once gathered, these profiles can be organized, analyzed, and acted upon using various API methods.
If you need to access and analyze message or chat content (e.g., for extracting insights or automating responses), you can match chats with user profiles by retrieving attendees using the following API methods:
GET /chat_attendees/{id}
GET /chat_attendees
These endpoints allow you to retrieve a list of chat attendees, which can be cross-referenced with user profile data.
Retrieve User Profile with Public Identifier
To access user profiles, including the Provider Internal ID, use the following method:
GET /users/{provider_public_id}
This endpoint is ideal for initiating new conversations with users who are not yet in your database, as it fetches their profile data using the public identifier.
Retrieve a Public Identifier from an Attendee
When the public identifier is not available in the chat attendees list, use:
GET /users/{provider_id}
This method helps you find the public identifier using the Provider Internal ID, which can be extracted from attendee data or messages.
URL Structure and Request Example
Once you have the public or internal ID of the user, you can make requests to extract additional data. Here’s an example of a curl command to retrieve user data from a platform like LinkedIn:
Query
curl --request POST \
--url https://{YOUR_DSN}/api/v1/users/michel-opra?linkedin_sections=%2A&account_id=3H-KV \
--header 'X-API-KEY: {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: multipart/form-data'
Result
{
"object": "UserProfile",
"provider": "LINKEDIN",
"provider_id": "ACoAAAcDMMQBODyLwZrRcgYhrkCafURGqva0U4E",
"public_identifier": "michel-opra",

"last_name": "Opra",
"headline": "Sales Strategist & Deal Closer at StreamLink",
"primary_locale": {
"country": "EN",

}
}
Integrated Search Functionality within the Software
This method enables users to search, filter, and access essential data directly within the application. By integrating advanced search options, it simplifies the data retrieval process, allowing users to quickly find the most relevant information.
Search Filtering and Keywords
Top Filters: Users can filter results by keywords and relationship types (e.g., 2nd-degree LinkedIn connections), supporting CRM, ATS, and Outreach platforms. Integration with LinkedIn’s search options, such as Sales Navigator and Recruiter, allows efficient searches for both people and companies.
Industry/Location Filtering: Apply industry-specific filters (e.g., Healthcare, Financial Services, IT) and location-based filters (e.g., North America, Canada). Utilize LinkedIn’s API for searching companies and people on Sales Navigator and Classic LinkedIn.
Role/Job Title Search: Filter by roles and job titles (e.g., CEO, CTO, VP of Sales) using advanced LinkedIn search capabilities available in Recruiter and Sales Navigator.
Contact Creation from Search Results
After submitting a search request through the LinkedIn API, profiles matching the specified criteria—such as job title, experience, or language—are retrieved. The request includes parameters like keywords and filters. Once processed, the response provides a list of profiles, including details like titles and unique IDs, which can be used for follow-up actions such as sending invitations or managing contacts.
Query
curl --request POST \
--url https://{YOUR_DSN}/api/v1/linkedin/search?account_id={YOURACCOUNTID} \
--header 'X-API-KEY: {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
