The short answer is – as stable as professional networks lets us be. It is a constant cat-and-mouse game with professional networks.
Given that we scrape public user profiles only. There are quite a few moving parts that we have no control over, such as:
- If the platform removes a particular data field from the public profile, we would not be able to share that information back with you.
- If the platform removes public profiles entirely, we will no longer be able to provide a the platform scraping service because then we have nothing to scrape.
That said, our company has been around since 2014. And we have maintained API consistency and uptime through our services. Of course, there will come a day when we will no longer be able to scrape user profiles. Still, if I (the CEO) have my way, we probably would have a superior alternative to "just scraping the platform" as a product offering for you.
