How To Bypass LinkedIn Profile Search Limits
Theoretically you can only view 1,000 results of your LinkedIn searches on a single day, even if there could be more than a few thousands results available. In reality, LinkedIn might even block when you're only at, say, page 5 of the search results. That is not a lot at all. There are a few ways to increase the limit, many of which involve subscribing to LinkedIn's own expensive solutions. Another great way is via Proxycurl's Search API where you can search for as many profiles that you want, programatically, at scale.
