Building a list straight from LinkedIn (Sales Navigator, a company's
employees, a profile search, or post reactions/comments) runs through a
data-collection platform on ListPlus's side, separate from the specialised
LinkedIn provider that answers individual profile, company, search and
verify lookups elsewhere in the app — see "Provider: LinkedIn profile
data" for that one. This page covers where an import's data comes from and
what it returns; see "Importing from LinkedIn" for how to run one.

**What it delivers.** Whatever LinkedIn itself shows on the pages the
import reads: names, job titles, companies and LinkedIn profile URLs for
people, plus comment text, reaction type or post date for the two
post-based imports. It never returns email addresses — add those
afterwards with enrichment.

**Where in ListPlus.** The five **Collect web data** tasks in the New
List wizard: Sales Navigator search, company employees, profile search,
post reactions, post comments.

**Inputs needed.** A Sales Navigator search URL, up to 10 LinkedIn
company page URLs, a keyword search, or one or more LinkedIn post URLs,
depending on the import type.

**Coverage & freshness.** Reflects what LinkedIn shows for that search or
page at the moment the import runs — not a static, pre-built database.

**Credits & charge rule.** A base fee plus a per-result rate, shown in an
**Estimated cost** box before you start and charged once the import
finishes. See "[AI, research and import costs](https://listplus.ai/en/help/plans-credits-billing/price-list-ai-research-imports)" for exact rates.

**What the provider receives from us.** The search URL, company URL(s) or
post URL(s) you're importing from — never the rest of your list, and never
your own LinkedIn account or session.

**Company seat, data location, legal basis.** Available on request from
support@listplus.ai.

**Caching.** Not cached — each import run reads LinkedIn fresh.

## FAQ

### Where does the data in a LinkedIn import actually come from?

From the public LinkedIn pages the import reads — a Sales Navigator search, a company's employee list, profile search results, or a post's reactions or comments — run through a data-collection platform on ListPlus's side, not from a stored database.

### Is this the same provider that answers a single LinkedIn Profile or Company lookup?

No. Imports run through a data-collection platform; individual LinkedIn Profile, Company, Profile Search and Verify lookups run through a separate, specialised LinkedIn data provider — see "[Provider: LinkedIn profile data](https://listplus.ai/en/help/data-sources-privacy-legal/provider-linkedin-profile-data)."

### Does the import use my own LinkedIn account?

No, never. See "[LinkedIn imports and your responsibilities](https://listplus.ai/en/help/data-sources-privacy-legal/linkedin-imports-legal)."

### How current is the data an import brings back?

It reflects what's publicly visible on LinkedIn at the moment the import runs, not a stored snapshot from an earlier date.

### What does the provider receive when I run an import?

Only the search, company or post URL(s) for that one import — never the rest of your list.

### Which LinkedIn import types run through this provider?

All five "Collect web data" tasks in the New List wizard: Sales Navigator search, company employees, profile search, post reactions and post comments.
