💡 Pro Tip — If you’re pulling LinkedIn data through HTTP requests or dealing with API restrictions, there’s a community node called ScraperNode that handles this natively. It has dedicated scrapers for profiles, companies, jobs, and people search — you just pass a URL and get structured data back.

Description

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.
