Pull LinkedIn's "People also viewed" sidebar for any public profile — the list of similar professionals LinkedIn surfaces next to a given person — and get back usernames, names, headlines, profile picture URLs, and profile URLs ready to chain into deeper profile lookups. This is the building block for lead discovery tools and professional peer mapping workflows.
What you'll see in this video:
→ Similar Profiles endpoint with username — accepts the slug, /in/ path, or full LinkedIn URL, plus an optional country code
→ Key fields: similar_profiles array with username, name, headline, profile_pic_url, profile_url, plus a count
→ Lead discovery workflow — expanding a prospect list from a seed profile by chaining into the Profile or Profile Details endpoint
Who this is for:
• Sales developers building lead discovery tools that expand prospect lists from a seed contact
• Recruiters mapping the professional peer group around a target candidate
• Researchers doing competitive intelligence by profiling people in similar roles at similar companies
• Developers building graph-style professional network exploration tools
Also in the LinkedIn scraper:
→ Full profile data — work history, education, skills, and contact info
→ Recent posts — activity feed from any public LinkedIn profile
→ Published articles — authored content from a profile's LinkedIn newsletter or articles section
