LinkedIn email extraction

LinkedIn is the best B2B filtering tool that exists, and it deliberately will not give you an email address. This module bridges that gap.

Read this part before you use it

We did not exercise this feature, and that was deliberate. Automated collection from LinkedIn is against their user agreement, they enforce it, and the ban is permanent and attaches to the human rather than the tool.

hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn established that scraping public data is not a criminal CFAA violation — and hiQ still lost on breach of contract, because they had agreed to the terms. “Not a federal crime” and “allowed” are different statements, and the gap between them is where accounts get burned.

There is a data-protection layer too: a named person's work address is personal data under the GDPR. Legitimate interest can cover B2B outreach, but it is a test you have to actually pass, not a phrase you invoke.

The approach we would actually recommend

Use LinkedIn for what it is genuinely unbeatable at — deciding who — and get the address from the company's own published data instead: the team page, the press page, the job listings, and (most reliably, and almost nobody looks) the privacy policy, which by law must carry a real monitored address.

Then derive the pattern and verify. The full method is in finding an email address from LinkedIn.

What we will not touch

The auto-visit and auto-connect feature automates actions on your real LinkedIn account. We did not run it and would not. It is the clearest ToS breach in the platform and the account it risks is yours.
