Seems like a lot of these linkedin parsers are broken as linkedin blocks any request with a 999 code- they started doing this more proactively now.

Hello Aysar,

Thanks for the reply . Is there any solution for this using your API, as i have seen its working for some links really good. Just need your guidance to get this done.

Thanks Rohit Gaikwad

@ROhitGyrix not sure what you mean by 'your API'

There is no solution that i've found that works reliably... linkedin has just shut off all devs and you have to go thru their partner program (which will probably only be for big players).
