1. LinkedIn DOM Navigation Without API

LinkedIn's official API provides very limited profile data. The extension scrapes directly from the LinkedIn DOM — navigating Sales Navigator search result pages automatically, opening each profile, extracting structured data, and returning to the search results — all while maintaining LinkedIn's session cookies and respecting rate limits to avoid detection.

2. Google Maps Infinite Scroll Automation

Google Maps loads businesses via infinite scroll in its results panel. The extension programmatically scrolls the results panel (not the page) to trigger lazy loading, waits for new business cards to render via MutationObserver, and extracts data until the configured target count is reached or no more results appear.

3. Cross-Scraper Dataset Joining

A unique feature of the suite is the ability to join datasets across scrapers using company domain as the common key — e.g., enriching Google Maps business records with LinkedIn employee counts from a matching domain. This produces richer research datasets than any single scraper can provide.

4. Memory-Optimized Batch Ingestion & Deduplication

Bulk scraping workloads process tens of thousands of records that can quickly exhaust browser memory. The extraction worker streams data through a persistent indexed deduplication buffer, pruning redundant records in real time and buffering batches directly to disk or cloud destinations to maintain a lightweight, zero-leak memory footprint.
