Growth hacker (5 years experience) looking for a technical co-founder to build a SaaS
Experienced entrepreneur/growth hacker (5 years) looking for a technical co-founder to build a Linkedin Analytics Platform to improve inbound marketing on Linkedin.
For content creation and analysis, most growth marketers need to use a web scraper like Phantombuster and a third-party website to format the text of their posts. Likewise, you need to run your own data experiments to see growth over months and cannot see directly which connections love to engage more with your content, missing low-hanging fruit for conversion.
The MVP is an overlay Chrome extension, which shows you the engagement rate of your posts and the network strength of your connections after a spider has crawled the content data. If this Producthunt goes well, we build the entire platform.
If I caught your attention, read the pitch here in detail. to contact me.

iIRC all LinkedIn scrapper based services get takedown notices for violations of TOC
LinkedIn and Facebook are pretty aggressive on public services using their networks and reselling stuff on top of them
Look it up before spending too much time and other resources on that
As a Chrome extension they can run a "slow motion" crawl that mimics a logged in user. If the data is only available to the one user who is logged in and it's mimicking what a user can do (speed of clicks, etc..) then it may not actually be a spider. It may be an assistant. My $.02.
that's not what really matters, you can scrape all you want with different tactics
But if when you try to sell the service, you get a legal team backed by big $ requiring you to take down your service and willing to take you to court and they already covered themselves with their TOCs, you better be ready with some strong grounds and $ yourself and it better be worth it big time
just my $0.02
There are a number of scraping services marketed today.
See for example https://service.octoparse.com/socialmedia
They may not mention LinkedIn directly in their marketing but they scrape LinkedIn.
smart of them to keep a low profile on that I guess
Interesting Linkedin actually lost in curt for something similar https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2019/09/10/linkedin-data-scraping-ruled-legal/?sh=6540bf9b1b54
(that's new information to me, I know many products were taken down by their legal team for doing similar things for years... I have a feeling they would continue scare tactics even after that)
Also found this product which might be interest
