Usage

Anonymous vs authenticated session

By default the scraper will run in anonymous mode (no authentication required). In some environments (e.g. AWS or Heroku)this may be not possible though. You may face the following error message:

In that case the only option available is to run using an authenticated session. These are the steps required:

  1. Login to LinkedIn using an account of your choice.
  2. Open Chrome developer tools:
  1. Go to tab Application, then from left panel select Storage -> Cookies -> https://www.linkedin.com. In themain view locate row with name li_at and copy content from the column Value.
  1. Set the environment variable LI_AT_COOKIE with the value obtained in step 3, then run your application as normal.Example:

Rate limiting

You may experience the following rate limiting warning during execution:

This means you are exceeding the number of requests per second allowed by the server (this is especially true whenusing authenticated sessions where the rate limits are much more strict). You can overcome this by:

  • Trying a higher value for slow_mo parameter (this will slow down scraper execution).
  • Reducing the value of max_workers to limit concurrency. I recommend to use no more than one worker in authenticatedmode.
  • If you are using anonymous mode, you can try proxy mode.

Web Scraping Linkedin

The right value for slow_mo parameter largely depends on rate-limiting settings on Linkedin servers (and this canvary over time). For the time being, I suggest a value of at least 1.3 in anonymous mode and 0.4 in authenticatedmode.

Proxy mode [experimental]

It is also possible to pass a list of proxies to the scraper:

How it works? Basically every request from the browser is intercepted and executed from a python library instead, usingone of the provided proxies in a round-robin fashion. The response is then returned back to the browser. In case of a proxyerror, the request will be executed from the browser (a warning will be logged to stdout).

WARNING: proxy mode is currently not supported when using an authenticated session.

Filters

It is possible to customize queries with the following filters:

  • RELEVANCE:
    • RELEVANT
    • RECENT
  • TIME:
    • DAY
    • WEEK
    • MONTH
    • ANY
