Overview
The "Scrape Creators" node is designed to fetch real-time social media data from various platforms, including LinkedIn. Specifically, the "Get LinkedIn Profile" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a LinkedIn profile by providing its URL. This node is beneficial for scenarios such as market research, lead generation, competitive analysis, or social media monitoring where up-to-date profile data is required.
For example, a marketing team could use this node to automatically gather public profile details of potential clients or influencers on LinkedIn to tailor outreach campaigns.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing API key: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions.
