The LinkedIn Course Scraper automation helps founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers gather valuable data about courses on LinkedIn. It is ideal for identifying market trends, creating competitive analyses, and refining your product or service offerings. By leveraging TexAu's desktop app and Google Sheets export options, you can easily collect, organize, and utilize the data to drive insights and decisions.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at TexAu. Navigate to the Automation Store and search for "LinkedIn Course Scraper" to find the automation.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To access LinkedIn data, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn and authorize your account using one of these methods:

Share Via Magic Link: Click Share Via Magic Link, copy the URL, and paste it into your browser to access the Connect New Account page. Install the extension to complete account integration.
Add Account: Use TexAu's browser extension to sync your cookies automatically.

Step 3: Choose Cloud or Desktop Automation

Select your preferred execution mode for the automation:

Cloud: Automate tasks on TexAu’s servers using built-in proxies. Add a custom proxy anytime via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
Desktop: Run the automation on your local device using your IP address to simulate manual posting.
Tip: Running the automation in Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and provides more control over execution.

Step 4: Select Your Input Source

Choose how you want to provide LinkedIn Learning course URLs for the LinkedIn Course Scraper automation. Here's how to configure each input method:

Manually Enter a Single Input

Scrape data from a specific LinkedIn Learning course by entering its URL directly into the input field. This method is ideal for processing a single course.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is perfect for scraping data from multiple LinkedIn Learning courses. To configure this:

Click select Google account to choose your Google account or click add new Google Sheet account (you can add multiple Google accounts).
Click accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
Click open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn Learning course URLs.
Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., "Sheet1") containing the LinkedIn Learning course URLs.
Course URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn Learning course URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
Configure additional options:
- Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process from the sheet. You can enter a specific number in the field provided.
- Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Set how many rows to skip from the beginning of the sheet.
Optional Advanced Feature: Enable loop mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is particularly useful for recurring updates or processing new courses added to the sheet.
Click run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Process a CSV File

For scraping data from a static list of courses, use a CSV file. Here's how:

Click upload CSV file and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn Learning course URLs.
Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its contents. Verify the data to ensure it's correct.
Course URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn Learning course URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to work properly.
Configure additional options:
- Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process from the CSV file.
- Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Set how many rows to skip from the beginning of the file.
Click run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Loop Mode

Enable loop mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for tasks requiring recurring updates or processing new courses.

Tip: Use Google Sheets for frequently updated course lists and CSV files for static or one-time course data processing.

Screenshot Suggestion: Highlight the Input Source selection screen with the CSV file upload feature, preview window, rows to process/skip fields, and the Course URL column header option.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Configure the automation to run at specific times to keep your course data updated. Select one of these scheduling options:

None
At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 12 hours or daily)
Once
Every Day
On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday)
On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., February 10)

Step 6: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.

Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.

Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Determine how to save and organize the extracted data.

Append: Adds new results to the existing data.
Split: Saves data from each run in a separate file.
Overwrite: Replaces old data with the latest results.
Deduplicate: Removes duplicate entries to keep your data clean.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation is complete, go to the Data Store section in TexAu. Locate the LinkedIn Course Scraper automation or the custom name you assigned. Click See Data to review results and choose Download CSV or Open to Google Sheet for seamless data access.

The LinkedIn Course Scraper automation simplifies collecting LinkedIn course data for lead generation, market analysis, and professional development. Founders, marketers, and growth hackers can save time and focus on strategic actions while TexAu handles repetitive tasks. Export data to Google Sheets or CSV to integrate seamlessly into your workflow and stay ahead in your industry.
