What is CrewAI?
Framework for orchestrating autonomous AI agents that collaborate to complete tasks. Supports multi-agent crews with defined roles.
Searching LinkedIn with CrewAI
This integration lets your CrewAI agent search LinkedIn in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with post results, profile results, company results, post snippets — ready for reasoning and decision-making.

Bash
pip install crewai requestsCode Example
