Can I search for keyword in “Licenses & certifications”

[francesco1119]

I'm currently studying to obtain a Microsoft MCSA certification.

I would like to scrap LinkedIn in order to understand how many people in the World own a MCSA certification.

Can we search for such data through your library?

Hey, I've been using this library myself and managed to get this to also scrape certifications by adding this to profileScraperTemplate.js

certifications: { selector: '#certifications-section li:not(.pv-entity__position-group-role-item)', fields: { title: 'h3', company: 'div.pv-certifications__summary-info.pv-entity__summary-info.pv-entity__summary-info--background-section > p:nth-child(2) > span:nth-child(2)', date: 'div.pv-certifications__summary-info.pv-entity__summary-info.pv-entity__summary-info--background-section > p:nth-child(3) > span:nth-child(2)' } },

I have no experience with Node.js maybe this is the chance to learn something new. Do you know if LinkedIn API let me dig into the Certification Section? I haven't found any information about that.

Or do you suggest I just need to write a LinkedIn crawler and use your library?

@francesco1119 you don't need to start it from the scratch, we also have a crawler: https://github.com/linkedtales/scrapedin-linkedin-crawler
