"Addressing Security Concerns: Exploring an Alternative Approach for LinkedIn Data Collection"

[GreatHayat]

I really like the project idea, but I have a concern about the current approach of using browser automation to collect LinkedIn user information. Many users might hesitate to provide their email and password due to security concerns. They might worry about the safety of their credentials in your database.

Have you considered using the LinkedIn API as an alternative solution? This would involve creating an app that requests limited access permissions from users. It could alleviate their worries about sharing sensitive information, as the API is designed for secure data exchange. This way, users would feel more comfortable and in control of their data while still enjoying the benefits of the project.

Sadly LinkedIn only offers the API for its business partners only and not tech enthusiast like myself. Not to mention that some sources stated that the API was discontinued mainly for public use.
