Lol, I feel you on the LinkedIn thing. They *hate* scrapers.
For anyone wondering is web scraping legal, here’s my take: If the data’s public and you’re not breaking ToS or overloading servers, you’re *probably* fine. But “probably” isn’t exactly comforting.
I’ve had good luck with Apify—it handles proxies and CAPTCHAs, so less chance of getting blocked. Still, tread lightly.
