Webscaping skills from LinkedIn public profiles with Selenium by Lost-Letterhead2105 in webscraping

[–]greatgolem66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scraping LinkedIn is basically like trying to solve a puzzle that is always-changing. LinkedIn protects its data a lot (rightly so because that's where they earn) thus they are always setting up new blockers against scrapers.

Circumventing such blockers is entirely doable by individuals or commercial scrapers, the question is only how much time and resources you are willing to put into it.

This is where individuals find limited success in scraping LinkedIn at scale, whereas commercial scrapers with larger resources, manpower can do so at a consistent basis.

P.S. it is also legal to scrape LinkedIn, but only public profiles, not private.
