Development: Enriching Linkedin URLs from Internal Search – Work in progress

[dreadpixel]

March 24, 2020 at 4:17 am

Hello everyone,

I am working right now on this feature, I had some issues trying to make the best User Experience for all of you, let me tell you what came to a conclusion. If you have a better idea please express it.

The feature is for the Automator Tab. You will be able to input a search URL such as:
https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=Marketing%20New%20York&origin=GLOBAL_SEARCH_HEADER

And it will go and paginate till the last page and grab Names and URLs. I decided I would store the Names and URLs into a new table called: search_results, then I will query all search_results that have Linkedin domain on it and proceed to use RocketReach.co API to enrich the URL into the profiles table.
Here is what RocketReach.co API can extract with a Linkedin URL: https://rocketreach.co/api?section=api_section_ex_byLIURL

I will paste the whole result here:

This feature will be very helpful! Will users need to purchase their own rocketreach api key?

Yes, you will need an API key from RocketReach.co, they offer some free requests when you register.
Also, I think I will add the usage of visiting profiles to gather information too. The thing I struggle the most is thinking about the User Experience.

You should add SalesQL API as well its a lot cheaper than RocketReach plus SalesQL allows gives phone numbers with no additional charges.

I will resume working on that integrations. I had to move from the city and currently, I have more spare time since kids have a garden to play 🙂
This pandemic has changed life for everyone. Expect updates soon.
