From what I noticed, linkedin sometimes does not load the public formatting for a profile. It sometimes will throw you behind a login wall if you attempt multiple times to retrieve profiles. Check if that is happening to you. If you trace back the error, the root cause lies in xp_header being NoneType, as the browser was not able to find it through its xpath. Also, if the page loading is a logged page, the formatting of the profile looks quite different. Therefore, you'll have some difficulty retrieving the info you are looking for.
