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:

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.

Recruitment Projects Powered by Search
Recruiters can efficiently create targeted projects using LinkedIn Recruiter integration by listing existing projects or creating new ones with advanced search capabilities:

- Create a Project: After refining your search, click “Create a Project” to organize candidates into a dedicated recruitment project.
- Team Collaboration: Assign projects to individual recruiters or the entire team for streamlined hiring efforts.
These features can be managed seamlessly within LinkedIn Recruiter, enhancing recruitment efficiency.
Chrome Extension for Seamless Data Extraction and API Sync
Effortlessly extract profile data while browsing LinkedIn and other platforms, and sync it instantly to your software using seamless API integration—ensuring your records are always accurate and up-to-date.
Data Extraction with Chrome Extension
With the Chrome Extension, users can extract profile data from platforms like LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter while browsing.
For apps with a browser extension that require LinkedIn connectivity, background authentication can be achieved using cookies. Collect necessary cookies (e.g., li_a, li_at), user agent, IP address, and LinkedIn user ID to authenticate the account without user interaction. If the account disconnects, use the ‘reconnect’ method with the stored cookie and account ID. Retry for up to 4 hours if reconnection fails, and if still unsuccessful, prompt the user to manually reconnect and verify their extension settings.
Data Extraction with Chrome Extension
Data extracted via the Chrome Extension is automatically synced to your software using API integration, keeping contact records, candidate profiles, and lead data continuously up-to-date.
Instant Sync with API: The extension connects directly to your CRM, ATS, or contact management platform via the API, ensuring seamless data transfer.
Enhanced Accuracy: Capturing data directly from LinkedIn profiles minimizes errors associated with manual entry, resulting in cleaner and more reliable datasets within your system.
