Bright Data Review for LinkedIn Dataset Usage in Academic Research
What do you like best about the product?
As a university chair at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), we rely on Bright Data’s LinkedIn dataset to advance our research on entrepreneurship rankings, specifically assessing the impact of German academic institutions. Using this dataset, we match founder profiles with startups and universities to analyze key factors such as prior experience, gender distribution, cultural diversity, and geographic spread.
The quality and depth of the LinkedIn data have been critical in providing accurate, up-to-date insights into the entrepreneurial landscape. Thanks to Bright Data, we’ve been able to offer a data-driven perspective on important trends like female leadership and the geographic distribution of entrepreneurial activity linked to academia.
Bright Data’s platform is reliable, easy to integrate, and offers the comprehensive, real-time data we need to ensure our research stays relevant. We highly recommend it for any institution looking to perform rigorous, data-backed analysis.
A special thank you to the Bright Initiative for their generous support of our project. Your contributions have been invaluable in helping us drive impactful academic research.

What do you dislike about the product?
While we wish access could extend beyond just public LinkedIn data, this is a limitation beyond Bright Data's control. That said, the platform is reliable, user-friendly, and provides comprehensive real-time data that keeps our research relevant and impactful.

A fantastic resource to reliably, legally access otherwise-inaccessible data
What do you like best about the product?
Bright Data's products scratch an evident itch: collecting social media platforms' data has been made very hard in practice, despite legislation that makes it mandatory in many geographies.
Many platforms don't have APIs, third party Python libraries are usually not available, reliable or scalable. This left the research community trying to access social media data at scale with the need to reinvent the wheel for every new social media-related project. Bright Data has proven a fantastic answer to this issue.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing ! Being able to access posts that are behind log-in walls would be appreciated but I understand it might not be legally possible.

End-to-end web scraping solution

I’ve been using Bright Data’s web scraping API and Web Scraper IDE for almost a year, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Previous versions of the documentation did not provide clear enough examples, but this was fixed some time ago.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data collection in very high volume and frequency
Great access to precollected data
What do you like best about the product?
As an academic partner, I really like the easy access to big datasets, like LinkedIn or Glassdoor, that can be used for analyses in papers. Instead of having to hire someone or collecting this data myself, you can simply download one of Bright Data's existing datasets. It makes life very easy! The data is quite clean and easy to navigate as well. The Bright Data team is also intent on making sure the data is used for a good purpose.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there can be weird technical problems with downloading the data -- e.g., I was trying to select a filtered set of the LinkedIn data but it was causing issues, so I ended up just downloading the entire (unfiltered) dataset.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collecting big data can be messy and time-consuming. Bright Data already has existing datasets that we can download and get to analyzing quickly. This cuts out a lot of time and labor that would otherwise be expended.
Incredibly powerful, efficient, helpful data platform
What do you like best about the product?
I've been floored by the effectiveness of the Bright Data platform. As a co-founder of a non-profit, I qualified for their Bright Initiative and have used a number of their products (proxies, dataset marketplace, etc.) for several years now. We have had astonishing success using their proxies to collect web data for our research, and continuously rely on their ISP services to update our databases. The configurations are easy to use and integrate into our workflow, while the customer service every step of the way has been nothing short of exceptional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bright Data has performed exactly as advertised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you dislike about the product?
Some websites are challenging to scrape due to lazy loading when using an IDE structure. However, this can be managed effectively with the use of Selenium and proxies.
