Do you provide LinkedIn connections data? No, we do not provide LinkedIn connection data.
LinkedIn connections are not part of the public profile dataset, and we only work with public web data. Therefore, LinkedIn connections are not available for us to scrape, and we do not scrape them.
If your use case depends on a person's first-degree LinkedIn network, you will need to get that data directly from the user through LinkedIn's own product surfaces or official partner channels, subject to whatever access LinkedIn permits. That is not something NinjaPear provides.
What NinjaPear does provide is public web sourced B2B data: company details, employee count, company updates, customer listings, competitor intelligence, person profiles, and work email lookup. Different problem. Different dataset.
A note on Proxycurl
Proxycurl has been sunset. I founded Proxycurl, and that work now lives on in what I am building at NinjaPear. The policy here is the same on this point: we do not provide LinkedIn connections data, because LinkedIn connections are not public data.
The older version of this article referenced Proxycurl. I am keeping that context here because the question has been asked for years, but the answer has not changed.
If you are looking for alternatives to LinkedIn connection data, the practical route is usually one of these:
- use public company and person enrichment data
- use work email discovery
- use company monitoring and competitive intelligence signals
- ask users to authenticate and provide their own data where appropriate
That is the line we draw. Public data only.
