Introducing Proxycurl API

With Proxycurl API, you can enrich LinkedIn Profiles at one cent per profile, at scale.

Since we introduced Proxycurl, the feedback has revolved around two issues:

1. It is too hard to scrape public LinkedIn profiles
2. And that our corporate plans are too expensive

I am happy to share that we have completely overhauled Proxycurl so that you can

1. Crawl Linkedin profiles with just 8 lines of code
2. Get started a free trial with an API Key immediately
3. Get 100 credits for $10 (that's 100 profiles!)

You can check out Proxycurl API here.
You can check out our new pricing model here.
You can check out our new API documentation here.

Let's dive into the major changes.

Proxycurl Person Profile API

We had many feedback requesting for an easy way to scrape public Linkedin profiles. Now you can.

With Proxycurl Person Profile API, you can get a LinkedIn Profile fully parsed into a nicely formated JSON result. All you have to do is to submit a request to our API with the Person Profile API.

This is how the request looks like:

import requests

api_endpoint = 'https://nubela.co/proxycurl/api/linkedin'
linkedin_profile_url = 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates'
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
header_dic = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + api_key}

response = requests.get(api_endpoint,
                        params={'url': linkedin_profile_url},
                        headers=header_dic)

And a nicely formatted JSON data of Bill Gate's Linkedin Profile is returned:

API Credits with volume discounts

Instead of charging $1250 for the smallest plan, we changed the minimum amount to get started to $10.

Instead of rate limits, we changed the way we charged to be based on credits available with no rate limits.

How about that? Let's get started then!
