Stop Copy-Pasting! Build Your Own LinkedIn Data Scraper
Want to scrape LinkedIn profile data automatically without copying everything manually? In this video, I show how I built a LinkedIn Profile Data Scraper Chrome Extension that collects real profile details like name, email, phone number, subtitle, about section and more and saves it directly into JSON & Google Sheets.
Once the extension is turned on, you simply open any LinkedIn profile or contact info page and the data is captured instantly. No extra clicks. No form filling. No manual work. Just smart automation that saves time.
In this video, I share the full journey from planning the system, building the Chrome extension, connecting it to a Python Flask backend, scraping the HTML with BeautifulSoup, fixing regex issues, formatting the data into clean JSON, and finally exporting everything into Google Sheets for real-world use.
You’ll also see the debugging process, mistakes I faced, and how I solved them so it feels like a real devlog, not just a polished tutorial. If you want this extension, just comment below and I’ll share it with you 🙂
