API wrapper works OK. The issue is with API itself - it requires the specific oauth scope for reading profile with experience. How it works on their side - you have to apply for 'Products' which grant you scopes. ATM there are no products allowing anything to grab profile experience. See attached: image image

I've raised a ticket with Linkedin Dev support, let's see if that helps anyhow. There is no information on web how to obtain more scopes except via products. What we are looking for is most likely r_compliance scope...

Another option is surely to scrap it directly from profile. We might go with that for the sake of simplicity.

Guy've been trying to do similar thing, https://medium.com/swlh/the-frustrations-of-dealing-with-the-linkedin-api-747147c95eac - failed in essence bc of Linkedin poor developer experience - not giving the access to API at any means and banning the people who use selenium to scrap the data. see https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/6cjtlo/got_banned_from_linkedin_for_using_selenium_how/

Anyway, scrapping is against the ToC, thus should not be an option. How then I can get there?..
