How to Scrape Linktree (and Find Emails or Social Links)

Why Scrape Linktree?

Linktree is a popular tool used by creators to display all their important links, emails, social media accounts, websites, and more. That makes it a goldmine for anyone looking to extract useful contact info like:

• Emails
• Social media links (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.)
• Websites or personal blogs

Step-by-Step: How Linktree Works Under the Hood

Let’s walk through scraping a Linktree page using this example: https://linktr.ee/miguelangeles

1. Open Dev Tools Right-click → Inspect → Go to the Network tab.
2. Refresh the Page The very first request is for the HTML document.
3. **Click on the first request **It should be miguelangeles
4. Go to the response tab
5. **Search for **__NEXT_DATA__ In the HTML response, search for __NEXT_DATA__. This is where Linktree stores a full JSON blob of the page’s data (thanks Next.js for making this super easy to scrape). This includes things like:

• EMAIL_ADDRESS
• Social links
• URLs
• Profile Data

Scrape Linktree with Node.js

Here’s how to do it in code using got-scraping and cheerio:

import { gotScraping } from 'got-scraping'
import * as cheerio from 'cheerio'

async function scrapeLinktree(username) {
  const url = `https://linktr.ee/${username}`
  const response = await gotScraping({
    url,
    proxyUrl: "PROXY_URL_HERE"
  })

  const $ = cheerio.load(body)
  const nextScript = $('#__NEXT_DATA__').html()

  const data = JSON.parse(nextScript)

  return data;
}

scrapeLinktree('miguelangeles').then(console.log)

Use a Proxy for Scale

If you’re scraping lots of Linktree pages, use a proxy to avoid rate limits or bans. Good options include:

• Decodo (formerly Smartproxy)
• Evomi
• Webshare
• Brightdata

Bonus: Scrape Linktree’s Public Directory

You can discover thousands of profiles using their discover API:

https://linktr.ee/discover/_next/data/zd5lRJ4hQhc2caWwdfD1Z/profile-directory/c/all/page-1.json?category=all&page=page-1

Just change the page number to increment. ⚠️ If Linktree updates their site, that zd5lRJ4hQhc2caWwdfD1Z hash will change. To get the latest:

1. Visit https://linktr.ee/discover/profile-directory/c/all/page-1/
2. Open Dev Tools → Network → Watch for requests when you paginate
