What it does

Linkedin Scraper is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Get LinkedIn profiles, company pages, and posts

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Resume and CV writing. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web scraping
  • Tasks that involve Resume and CV writing

Example prompts

  • “/linkedin-scraper”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • linkedin.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linkedin Scraper loads about 640 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~640

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

LinkedIn Scraper

Setup

Read scrapecreators-api first. Execute every operation below through the runtime it selects: the GooseWorks MCP tool in terminal-free clients, the GooseWorks CLI in a local terminal, or the direct API with the user's own key. Never assume a shell is available.

Scrape public LinkedIn data including profiles, company pages, and posts.

When to Use

  • User asks about someone's LinkedIn profile
  • User wants company information from LinkedIn
  • Research on a professional or company

How It Works

Uses the ScrapeCreators API through its direct GooseWorks proxy.

Note: Scrape Creators LinkedIn endpoints use full LinkedIn URLs as the query parameter (not usernames).

Usage

Get User Profile
yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: GET
path: /v1/linkedin/profile
query:
  url: https://linkedin.com/in/satyanadella
Get Company Page
yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: GET
path: /v1/linkedin/company
query:
  url: https://linkedin.com/company/anthropic
Get Specific Post
yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: GET
path: /v1/linkedin/post
query:
  url: https://linkedin.com/posts/somepost

Parameters

User Profile
  • url (required) - LinkedIn profile URL (e.g., https://linkedin.com/in/username)
Company Page
  • url (required) - LinkedIn company page URL (e.g., https://linkedin.com/company/name)
Post
  • url (required) - LinkedIn post URL

Response

User Profile includes:
  • Name, headline, location
  • Current position
  • Education history
  • Skills
  • Connection count
  • Profile URL
Company Page includes:
  • Company name and description
  • Industry and size
  • Headquarters location
  • Founded date
  • Employee count
  • Specialties

Examples

User: "Look up Satya Nadella on LinkedIn" Use the Get User Profile operation with the supplied LinkedIn profile URL.

User: "Tell me about Anthropic's LinkedIn page" Use the Get Company Page operation with the supplied LinkedIn company URL.

Error Handling

  • success: false — the API may temporarily fail to access LinkedIn; retry after a few seconds
  • Private/restricted profiles return limited or no data
  • Rate limiting may apply — add short delays between sequential requests

Tips

  • Use full LinkedIn URLs (e.g., https://linkedin.com/in/USERNAME)
  • For companies, use the full company page URL
  • Some profiles may have restricted visibility
