    “Reliable parsers and flexible API for audience search”

    I like the convenient documentation and conditions at ScrapeAtlas. The parsers work great: I use keyword data from fresh threads to find target audiences and clients in Threads.

LinkedIn: professional profiles and company posts

Which LinkedIn profile fields can I retrieve for professional research?

Profile returns public names, photos, locations, about text, experience, education, publications, projects, recommendations and related profile information. Use these fields to build a professional research card with a link to its source profile.

Can the LinkedIn posts API retrieve articles and video transcripts?

Yes. Post Details accepts post or article URLs and returns text, author and media information. Video posts include video metadata and transcript information, and the separate Transcript endpoint retrieves the captions published with a video post.

Can I search LinkedIn posts by keyword through the API?

Use Search Posts to discover public posts matching a keyword. Each result is retrieved with Post Details fields, giving your application the post text, author and media information for a topic research feed.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
