I Built a LinkedIn Lead Scraper with Claude Code + Apify
See how you can turn LinkedIn post engagement into a ranked list of B2B leads without buying a list. Find everyone who commented on or reacted to posts in your niche, look up where each person actually works, and score them against your ICP with Claude Code. π *LinkedIn Engagement Leads* π https://github.com/0xmerkle/leads-from-linkedin-engagement-actor *Why scrape engagement instead of buying a list?* π€ π― *Intent You Can Actually See*: Someone commenting on a post about the problem you solve is telling you they have it, in their own words. π *Verified Employers, Not Headlines*: Each person's real job title and company gets looked up, instead of trusting a self-written LinkedIn headline. π§Ή *Nobody Else Has This List*: Bought lists get resold across your whole market. The people engaging with a creator this week are not on anyone else's list. βοΈ *Gets Cleaner Every Run*: Anyone surfaced in a previous run is filtered out, so a weekly schedule only ever shows you new people. π¬ *Openers That Quote Them*: Because you have their actual comment, your first line can reference something real instead of a merge field. *Useful links* π§βπ» π Learn more about getting sales leads from LinkedIn: https://apify.it/4zLqCZT π€ Get the Claude Code skill: https://github.com/0xmerkle/linkedin-engagement-leads-skill π§βπ» Sign up for Apify: https://apify.it/4sq4Qsb π Integrate the Actor with your workflow: https://apify.it/3Uaawde π Browse other lead generation tools: https://apify.it/4ytr0et *How to find leads from LinkedIn engagement?* π§βπ« Step 1: Find creators in your niche and drop them in a Google Sheet Step 2: Point Claude Code (with the skill installed) at the sheet Step 3: Let the Actor collect everyone who engaged and look up where they work Step 4: The agent scores each person against your ICP Step 5: Get a ranked lead sheet in Google Drive, plus suggested openers *Follow us* π€³ https://www.linkedin.com/company/apify https://twitter.com/apify https://www.tiktok.com/@apifytech https://discord.com/invite/jyEM2PRvMU *Timestamps* β 0:00 Introduction 0:29 Finding creators your ICP already follows 1:32 Building the target sheet 1:51 How the skill and the Actor fit together 3:31 Running the whole thing from Claude Code 4:08 The Actor run in Apify Console 4:26 The ranked sheet and openers 4:47 Wrap up Use LinkedIn engagement data to build your lead list. This method shows you how to scrape relevant profiles for new customers. Finding potential leads on LinkedIn often means manually searching through endless lists, but you can automate this by identifying users interacting with posts relevant to your ideal customer profile. We demonstrate a process for scraping profiles of these active participants so you can build a more targeted outreach list. This workflow uses scripts to gather and process data directly from the platform. By focusing on LinkedIn lead generation through content engagement, you can identify high-intent prospects who are already interacting with topics within your niche. Use this data scraping technique to spend less time prospecting and more time connecting with people who fit your criteria.
