What are LinkedIn limits?
What are LinkedIn limits?
Updated over 2 months ago

LinkedIn has different usage limits, but when using SalesQL only profile view limits are essential.

LinkedIn profile view limits vary depending on the type of LinkedIn account being used. ๐Ÿ”’

These limits are in place to ensure that users are using the platform responsibly and not spamming or excessively viewing profiles. LinkedIn may temporarily restrict your account from viewing additional profiles if you exceed the limits. โš ๏ธ

To prevent potential LinkedIn account restrictions, it is advisable:

  1. Stay within the profile view limits and avoid an unusually large number of profiles in a short period of time.

  2. Refrain from using LinkedIn while a SalesQL automation is running. ๐Ÿšซ

  3. Consider using SalesQL exclusively, rather than installing other extensions that perform similar roles that may affect your LinkedIn limits. ๐Ÿ’ก

Is there an estimated number of views per Linkedin account?

The profile views limit for basic LinkedIn accounts is typically around 200 per day. โฐ

If you plan to use LinkedIn for recruitment or lead generation and require a higher limit on profile views, we highly recommend upgrading to LinkedIn's Premium account plans, such as Sales Navigator, Recruiter, or Recruiter Lite. ๐Ÿ’ผ

Recommended profile views are 500 per day for Sales Navigator and 1000 per day for Recruiter and Recruiter Lite. ๐Ÿš€

The LinkedIn profile view limits mentioned in this article are not guaranteed. This information is provided for reference purposes only and should not be considered a contract or agreement. ๐Ÿ“‹

Please keep in mind that LinkedIn may modify these limits at any time, including in response to changes in your behavior patterns on their website. It's important to note that we cannot assume responsibility for any changes made by LinkedIn. ๐Ÿ”„

We strongly recommend that you check your profile view limits directly with LinkedIn if you are uncertain about them. ๐Ÿ”

SalesQL Features to Optimize Result Retrieval Without Limits

Additionally, you can make use of our new CSV enrichment feature to streamline your workflow and avoid working directly from LinkedIn. This feature allows you to upload CSV files with the necessary columns to find email addresses and enrich your contact lists. This can help you avoid triggering LinkedInโ€™s limitations while still achieving your goals. For more details on this feature, check out the following article: CSV Enrichment.

Also, you can use our API to keep downloading contacts. The API can only be used by developers to see what information they can get from the profiles, which varies depending on each profile. For more information on how to use the API, I recommend the following tutorial, which will give you a better understanding of its capabilities: Intro to the SalesQL API.
โ€‹
The API does not use your LinkedIn profile to search for or retrieve profile information. At no point in the SalesQL flow do you link your LinkedIn profile, ensuring that it is not accessed or used to retrieve profiles. All requests are made against our database, not LinkedIn's.
