How superagnt_ sources LinkedIn data
superagnt_'s LinkedIn tools never use your LinkedIn account. They fetch profile, company, job and post data live, each time your agent asks, from upstream data providers that superagnt_ pays, so no login, session cookie or browser extension of yours is involved. superagnt_ isn't LinkedIn's official API and isn't affiliated with LinkedIn.
Where the data comes from
Your agent calls a LinkedIn tool, such as data_linkedin_get_company_by_domain, or makes the same lookup over REST under /v1/data/linkedin. superagnt_ checks the request, sends it to an upstream data provider and hands back the provider's answer as JSON. The providers are companies whose business is collecting LinkedIn data, and superagnt_ pays them for each lookup.
superagnt_ doesn't run scrapers, browsers or LinkedIn accounts of its own to collect this data, and the tools never answer from a stored copy: every lookup goes out to a provider at the moment your agent makes it.
Your LinkedIn account stays out of it
Section 8.2 of LinkedIn's User Agreement bars using software, scripts or robots to scrape or copy profiles and other data, and its help page on prohibited software and extensions says accounts that run such tools risk restriction or shutdown.
superagnt_'s LinkedIn tools don't run on your account. You never sign in to LinkedIn through superagnt_, never hand over a session cookie and never install a browser extension, so the lookups add no activity to your LinkedIn account.
Plenty of LinkedIn scrapers work the other way: 13 of the 24 tools in our October 2026 comparison run on your own LinkedIn account, through a session cookie, your login or a browser session.
What the data covers
51 LinkedIn endpoints, grouped the way the LinkedIn tools page groups them:
- Company by domain. Turn a website domain into a company record: industry, headcount, headquarters, founding year, specialties and the LinkedIn id.
- Profile data. Full profile from a URL or username: positions, education, skills, recommendations given and received, connection and follower counts.
- People search. Search by title keyword, company, school, geography and name, with paging.
- Jobs. Job search filtered by title, function, seniority, location and date posted, plus job detail and the hiring team behind a posting.
- Company activity. Company posts and post comments, employee count, open jobs count and people-also-viewed.
- Posts and articles. Post detail, reactions, reposts and comments, full articles, and search by hashtag.
Not included: private messages, inbox contents and the people in a member's network. Profile lookups return connection and follower counts, not the connections themselves. Every endpoint is documented in the LinkedIn API reference.
Outreach is a separate job
Sending connection requests and messages takes a LinkedIn account, and superagnt_'s data tools don't send anything. For outreach, superagnt_ connects to tools such as HeyReach, Expandi and La Growth Machine with your own account at each one. Those tools send from the LinkedIn accounts you set up inside them, under their terms and LinkedIn's.
What stays your call
Profile data is personal data. If you keep or use data about people in the EU or California, GDPR or the CCPA governs what you store and how you use it, whichever tool fetched it. Every call runs under the superagnt_ terms.

Common questions
01Does superagnt use my LinkedIn account?
No. The LinkedIn data tools never sign in as you. There's no login, no session cookie and no browser extension, and the lookups run on upstream data providers that superagnt_ pays.
02Where does superagnt get its LinkedIn data?
From upstream data providers whose business is collecting LinkedIn data. superagnt_ sends each lookup to a provider when your agent makes it and pays per lookup. It doesn't run scrapers or LinkedIn accounts of its own.
03Is this LinkedIn's official API?
No. LinkedIn's open API only returns the signed-in member's own basic profile, and the rest is limited to approved partners. superagnt_ isn't affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn.
04Can using superagnt get my LinkedIn account restricted?
LinkedIn restricts accounts that run prohibited software or automation. superagnt_'s LinkedIn tools don't sign in as you or act in your session, so they add no activity to your account. Outreach tools you connect, such as HeyReach, do act through the LinkedIn accounts you set up in them.
05How fresh is the LinkedIn data?
Each lookup is fetched live when your agent makes the call. superagnt_ doesn't answer from a cache of its own.
06What does a LinkedIn lookup cost?
Credits come off only for a successful call, and a lookup that finds nothing costs nothing. The per-call price is on the LinkedIn tools page.
