Hi,

I have done some wonderful things with scraped linkedin profiles (through AI)… but there is one data i got stuck with.

I have not yet found a way to scrape the profile image of the particular person. I can only do that manually - so to navigate to the linkedin URL, click on the image (pop-up pops up) → save as.

Does not work:
LinkedIn Profile Scraper (does not matter that the Profile Picture URL is set as a desired output)
Gummie’s recommendation of Website Scraper + Ask AI
also tried browser extension

Anyone succeeding in scraping a profil picture once the profile url is available?

Hey @lacikiszely_AbilityMatrix! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

  3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @lacikiszely_AbilityMatrix – If the profile picture is available as an output on the Linkedin Profile Scraper node, its a URL to the image hence if you pass that onto the Ask AI node directly it won’t be able to analyze it. You’d have to use an Analyze Image node here and enable Use Link.

Let me know if this makes sense and works for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks! For some reason, LinkedIn Profile Scraper sometimes returns with an image URL, in other cases it does not. I do not see a logic why some photos are found, some other not… I executed your version now also with 5 different urs: 3 of them did not return the photo (eg. my own linkedin), while 2 other random linkedin accounts worked.

Yes I see, the availability of the profile picture depends on a couple of factors:

  • Whether the data is available on ProxyCurl (the data provider used for the LinkedIn Scraper node)
  • Any profile restrictions that may be in place

Because of this, not all profiles are guaranteed to have a profile picture as an output.
