LinkedIn is not "just another URL" — pick an API that treats it that way.
You're the engineer on call when a selector breaks at 2am. You've scraped LinkedIn through a generic API and you're tired of owning the session rotation, anti-bot fingerprint, and parsing logic yourself.
| Topic | Edges | Piloterr |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor focus | LinkedIn-only. 100% of roadmap and ops attention goes to LinkedIn reliability. | Generalist scraping platform. LinkedIn is one target among many. |
| Operational ownership | We own selectors, sessions, anti-bot posture, and breakage response. | You coordinate parsing logic, session management, and incident response. |
| API surface | Action-oriented: "get profile", "search SN", "send connection" — not "scrape URL". | URL-based scraping API; you build the LinkedIn semantic layer yourself. |
| Sales Nav coverage | First-class Sales Navigator actions: saved searches, lead lists, smart links. | Requires custom scraping logic per SN surface. |
| When LinkedIn changes | You get a changelog entry. Zero action required on your side. | You debug the breakage, update selectors, redeploy. |
LinkedIn is production-critical. You want a vendor whose whole job is keeping LinkedIn actions working — not one that treats it as 1 of 500 target sites.
You scrape dozens of sites and LinkedIn is a minor piece. You're willing to own selector maintenance, session rotation, and breakage response for the LinkedIn slice in exchange for consolidating vendors.
Map your current HTTP calls or automations to Edges actions using the Library and documentation. If you share your integration outline with support, we can suggest parity endpoints and credit estimates.
