How to dig into “Licenses & certifications”? #139

Open francesco1119 opened 3 years ago

Is there a way I can dig into the “Licenses & certifications” part of the profile? I need to search for a specific word. I don't find a good documentation.

Check how this is implemented in pandrey2003/social-media-profiler (app/backend/scraping/linkedIn/).

It does look into skills and certifications. In fact, this is as simple as digging into a Python dictionary.

@pandrey2003 , are you using linkedin-api under the hood? My goal is to simply retrieve the data in CSV/XMLformat. I just want to analyze the data. I want to know how many people in Switzerland hold the certification Exam AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals.

That's why I wanted to run it from Postman. or curl.

But if pandrey2003/social-media-profiler can do so I will use your.

Thank you

@francesco1119 Yeap, I use this library under the hood. You can get PDFs with my project, not CSV/XLSX, with the data you need.

Glad if I helped you with social-media-profiler.

It seems like your python files are searching for a "word". They don't target the field certification and then search there for a word. But is interesting, how many users are we allowed to search? Can we search by country?

I would suggest researching a bit by reading the README of the project. You can see the fields to search by there :)
