UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: linkedin_profile_scraper_1.default is not a constructor

This first showed up, when executing my test with ts-jest. But it looks like it's a general issue.

node: v14.2.0 typescript: v3.9.5 ts-node: v8.10.1

Starting from version 2.2.1, you can import it using:

Typescript:

import { LinkedinProfileScraper } from 'linkedin-profile-scraper';

Javascript:

const { LinkedinProfileScraper } = require('linkedin-profile-scraper');

See the changelog for more changes.
