application/jsonScraper Parameters
Set these parameters in theparams object:
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| email_enrichment | boolean | true | Enable email enrichment to find email addresses for profiles (9 credits per profile where an email is found) |
Squid Settings
Configure general squid settings:| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | string | Display name for your squid configuration |
| concurrency | integer | Number of parallel scraping threads (default: 1) |
| export_unique_results | boolean | Export only unique results (deduplicated) |
| to_complete | boolean | Run until all tasks complete |
| no_line_breaks | boolean | Remove line breaks from results |
Email Enrichment
When email enrichment is enabled, lobstr.io will attempt to find the email address associated with each LinkedIn profile. Pricing: 9 credits per profile enriched. No email found = 0 credits charged. The enrichment service returns:email: The discovered email address (if found)email_status: Validation status of the email (valid, invalid, catch-all, etc.)
Email enrichment is enabled by default. Disable it before running if you don’t need email data to avoid unexpected credit usage.
If you don’t need email addresses, disable enrichment to reduce costs: set
email_enrichment to false.Backward compatibility: The old function name
email is still accepted but deprecated. Migrate to email_enrichment.Code Examples
