How to get Linkedin data into Power BI
Hi anmolmalviya05 You need to pull the data from the Linkedin organic API but there is not native/direct integration for Power BI. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party connector. I currently use windsor.ai 's Linkedin connectors and I haven't had any problem with my data. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the Linkedin Organic connector in the data sources list:
After that, just grant access to your Linkedin account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your Linkedin fields:
There just select the fields you need. Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url.
Free if you connect only 1 Linkedin account and pull maximum 30 days of data. You can request the last 30 days of data and once your Power BI report refreshes you will have updated data but older than 30 days data will not remain in your model. If you want to connect more than 1 Linkedin account or pull more data then they ask you to upgrade
anmolmalviya05 , the key reason for suggesting a manual setup using the Archive and then automating via Power Automate was that I suspected that you are already paying for the 365 licenses and have at least a Pro license, so your monthly spend to cover this activity going forward would be quite low. Windsor will end up as perhaps an additional cost to gain access to LN which otherwise would be free. Best of luck; the suggestion and the step-by-step and report template, however you approach this, will (and probably already has) gotten you started on a path going forward. Best of luck!
