The workflow handles pagination to retrieve multiple pages of search results, incorporates rate-limiting to respect API quotas, and ensures duplicates are avoided during data storage. Practical use cases include lead generation, recruiter prospecting, or market research by systematically locating and organizing LinkedIn profile data.
