Account safety is our top priority. Here's a comprehensive overview of how WizLeads protects your LinkedIn account.
Our Track Record
WizLeads has scraped millions of profiles for thousands of active users, and we have never had a user's account permanently banned or blocked due to our scraping. This safety record reflects our commitment to responsible, human-like scraping patterns.
How We Protect Your Account
Rate limiting: We enforce conservative rate limits that stay well within LinkedIn's tolerance. Your daily limit setting further controls this.
Human-like patterns: Our scraping mimics natural browsing behavior—random delays, varied timing, and realistic navigation patterns.
Session management: We handle your session securely and never store your password. Only session cookies are saved, and these are encrypted.
Automatic pausing: If we detect any signs of rate limiting, scraping pauses automatically to protect your account.
The Most Secure Alternative
For users who want zero risk to their personal accounts, Account-Less mode completely eliminates any connection between your LinkedIn identity and scraping activity. Yes, it costs an extra credit per lead, but many users consider this worthwhile for complete peace of mind.
Rare Temporary Restrictions
In rare cases where users run many large tasks over consecutive days, LinkedIn may show a "Too Many Requests" message. This is a temporary rate limit (typically lasting a few hours to 24 hours), not a ban. Your account remains fully functional after the cooldown period.
What We Don't Do
We never store your LinkedIn password
We never access your messages, connections, or personal content
We never perform actions as you (no connection requests, messages, etc.)
We only read publicly available profile data within Sales Navigator
Your LinkedIn account's safety is in your hands and ours together. By following best practices and using our protective features, you can scrape confidently and safely.
