PROFILE SCRAPER API

Scrape the Professional Web Without Running a Scraper

One POST request turns any public professional profile, company page, or post into structured JSON — collected live at request time. No headless browsers, no proxies, no parsers that break next week.

What is a professional network scraper API?

A professional network scraper API turns public profiles, company pages, and posts into structured JSON through one REST call. Datamagnet collects each page live at request time and absorbs the proxies, parsing, and layout changes, so there is no scraping infrastructure of your own to maintain.

Why teams stop building scrapers

A DIY profile scraper is a permanent engineering tax: layout changes break parsers, blocks demand proxy rotation, and every field you add is more surface to maintain. An API turns all of that into someone else's job.

  • Stable, versioned JSON schema
  • Retries and reliability handled server-side
  • Public data only, robots.txt respected
  • Charged only when the request succeeds

Frequently asked questions

Both, in the way that matters: you never run a scraper. You call a REST endpoint with a public profile URL and Datamagnet performs the collection server-side at request time, returning structured JSON. No browsers, proxies, parsers or maintenance on your side.

Person profiles (experience, education, skills, contact where public), company pages (firmographics, funding, hiring insights), posts (content, stats, and every commenter, reactor and reposter), plus search across people, companies and posts.

Collection happens at the moment of your request — you receive the page as it exists right now, not a database snapshot. That's the core difference from dataset vendors.

Datamagnet collects only publicly available information, respects robots.txt, and is CCPA and GDPR compliant. You get the data through a clean API without operating collection infrastructure yourself.

Pay-as-you-go credits: 1 credit for a person or company profile, 10 for activity, posts or search pages. You are only charged for successful requests, and new accounts get 10 free credits.
