I am looking for a solution that will provide me a way to automate the navigation through LinkedIn in order to perform an advanced search on the following page:
<[login to view URL]>
I would like to primarily search by [Title] and [Company] and [Company current] from the dropdown list. I would like to load the search criteria from a csv file or config file.
The from the result set, I would the solution to click on each individual and obtain all of the detailed data and store in a access database or spreadsheet. It should also be able to grab the picture. If the search returns 20 pages of results, the program should be ableto navigate all 20 pages and get all of the individuals.
This can be a custom developed software or a pre-existing solution like iMacros or Visual Web Ripper. It's up to you on how you want to achieve it.
Here are the fields I would like to capture:
Name
Professional Headline
Location
Industry
