LinkedIn Company Scraper

The LinkedIn Company Scraper automation helps founders, marketers, and sales professionals extract valuable information from LinkedIn company pages. Gather insights such as company details, employees, and industry data to enhance lead generation and market research. This guide explains how to configure and run the automation with TexAu.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at TexAu Dashboard. Navigate to the Automation Store and search for "LinkedIn Company Scraper" to locate the tool. This automation helps extract detailed company information from LinkedIn.
​

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and scrape company details, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two connection methods:

1. Magic Link: Sends a secure login link to your email for seamless authentication without manually entering cookies.
2. Add Account: Use TexAu’s browser extension for direct connection.
   Tip: Use Magic Link for a secure and hassle-free login process.

​

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define the input source to specify the company pages to scrape. TexAu supports the following input methods:

1. Manually Enter the Company URL:
   • Select Single Input and paste the LinkedIn company page URL directly.
   • Ideal for extracting data from a single company page.
     Screenshot Suggestion: Highlight the Single Input option on the input source interface.
2. Google Sheets:
   • Select Google Sheets and paste the URL of a sheet containing multiple LinkedIn company page URLs.
   • Authorize TexAu to access the sheet.
     Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Google Sheets integration setup.
3. CSV File:
   • Choose CSV File and upload a file containing the company URLs.
   • Drag and drop or browse to select your CSV file.

​

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set a schedule to automate the data extraction process at specific intervals. Click Schedule and choose from the following options:

• None (Run manually).
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours).
• Once, Every Day, or on Specific Days/Months/Dates.
  Scheduling ensures regular updates of company data for ongoing projects.

​

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To mimic human behavior and prevent LinkedIn restrictions, configure an iteration delay. Set:

• Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay to randomize the time between data extraction actions.
• Specify values in seconds, minutes, hours, or days.

​

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Decide how the extracted data will be saved and managed. Configure the following:

1. Export Options: Select Google Sheets or CSV file for data export.
2. Output Management:
   • Append: Add data to an existing file.
   • Split: Create a new file for each run.
   • Overwrite: Replace previous data with new results.
3. Deduplicate: Enable to automatically remove duplicate entries from the output.
   Tip: Use Google Sheets for real-time updates and easier collaboration.

​

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Start the automation by clicking Run. Choose your execution mode:

• Cloud: Run the automation from TexAu servers for faster, hands-free processing.
• Desktop: Execute locally on your device, using your IP address for manual-like behavior.
  Tip: Desktop mode helps reduce cloud runtime costs.

​

Step 8: Access the Data in the Data Store

Once the automation finishes, go to the Data Store on the TexAu dashboard to view or download the extracted company information. Click See Data to access the results.
