LinkedIn API Overview

LinkedIn scraping is notoriously hard - anti-bot systems, frequent changes, and rate limits make traditional scrapers unreliable and expensive. WraithBytes solves this with isolated execution environments and modern engineering: Each request runs in a fresh serverless function built with low-level, type-safe programming languages. This architecture eliminates shared state, enables instant horizontal scaling, and catches bugs at compile time rather than runtime. The result? Blazing-fast 3-8 second response times, rock-solid reliability through static type safety, unlimited concurrency, and $0.0007 per successful request pricing.
