> we don't actually scrape linkedin

LinkedIn intentionally made it basically impossible to do so after they lost hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn [0], so this is generally a good assumption for any product.

Can you please elaborate on this? If you don't scrape LI, where do the profile details come from (once you inferred the URL)? Is this publicly available data that can be bought as a bundle? Or is there any LI API that allows you to retrieve the profiles? thanks!

You are using data from that LinkedIn leak from a while ago?

No
