Support for LinkedIn - Githubissues

turkeyscramble commented 2 years ago

I would be excited to help with support for LinkedIn

That would be nice. Unfortunately, LinkedIn really hates scrapers and has aggressive rate limiting from the little experimenting I've done a while ago. But I'll happily accept a PR for this.

I've been looking into scraping LinkedIn in another project lately and found out the following:

There are strict rate limits that are not specified exactly
For scraping, users would have to specify their account (email + password)
In case of intensive scraping, it can happen that the used account is blocked and can only be used again after an email verification or ID legitimation. Accordingly, important accounts should probably not be used.

Is there an update on the status of the implementation?

There is not. The ridiculous rate limits pretty much prevent implementing this. For authentication, see #270.
