Hello,

I was running the below code to scrape a profile but couldn't scrape and got the below mentioned error. I would request you to please help me resolve my error and point out my mistake if any. Thank you in advance.

`from linkedin_scraper import Person, actions from selenium import webdriver driver = webdriver.Chrome()

email = 'abc@gmail.com' password = 'abc123' actions.login(driver, email, password) # if email and password isnt given, it'll prompt in terminal

person = Person("https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohit-kumar-verma-3a794238/",driver=driver,scrape=True,close_on_complete=False) driver.implicitly_wait(10) person.scrape() ` Output: NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"tag name","selector":"span"} (Session info: chrome=114.0.5735.199); For documentation on this error, please visit: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/errors#no-such-element-exception Stacktrace: Backtrace: GetHandleVerifier [0x010FA813+48355] (No symbol) [0x0108C4B1] (No symbol) [0x00F95358] (No symbol) [0x00FC09A5] (No symbol) [0x00FC0B3B] (No symbol) [0x00FB9AE1] (No symbol) [0x00FDA784] (No symbol) [0x00FB9A36] (No symbol) [0x00FDAA94] (No symbol) [0x00FEC922] (No symbol) [0x00FDA536] (No symbol) [0x00FB82DC] (No symbol) [0x00FB93DD] GetHandleVerifier [0x0135AABD+2539405] GetHandleVerifier [0x0139A78F+2800735] GetHandleVerifier [0x0139456C+2775612] GetHandleVerifier [0x011851E0+616112] (No symbol) [0x01095F8C] (No symbol) [0x01092328] (No symbol) [0x0109240B] (No symbol) [0x01084FF7] BaseThreadInitThunk [0x76C500C9+25] RtlGetAppContainerNamedObjectPath [0x77837B4E+286] RtlGetAppContainerNamedObjectPath [0x77837B1E+238]

Could it be because LinkedIn stopped allowing web scrapping from their page ?

What version of linkedin_scraper are you using? Try updating to the latest version. Can you provide the whole error message with the reference to the lines that cause problem? It might be covered in #173

My error is also pointing to the below mentioned line. I have updated the libraries to the latest ones. Yet getting this error.

person = Person("https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohit-kumar-verma-3a794238/",driver=driver,scrape=True,close_on_complete=False)
