Quick summary

You can export email addresses from LinkedIn by requesting a data archive through Settings & Privacy, which delivers a downloadable file containing names, emails, company, and position data. This built-in LinkedIn feature lets you retrieve contact details for connections who have made their email addresses visible.

Steps

Click your profile on the top menu of your LinkedIn dashboard.
Select 'Settings & Privacy' from the dropdown menu.
Under Data Privacy Settings, find and select 'Download your data'.
Select 'Download larger data from your archives', then click 'Request archive'.
LinkedIn will email you a download link containing names, email addresses (only if visible or shared), company, and position.

📌 Why this matters

Exporting email addresses from LinkedIn gives sales, recruiting, and marketing teams a direct way to build contact lists from their professional network without third-party tools. LinkedIn's native data export feature is the safest and most compliant method to retrieve connection emails, respecting each user's privacy settings. This matters because email outreach consistently delivers higher response rates than in-platform messaging, making exported LinkedIn data a high-value asset for lead generation and relationship management. Understanding this process helps professionals maximize the ROI of their LinkedIn network.
