This was a tool capable of scraping linkedin profiles in 2018/2019. As of today, this repository can only represent a starting point, but it will most likely not work as expected.

It is based on selenium and BeautifulSoup

Back in the days, you would first download the Chrome Driver from here and extract it to your favourite location. Create a python3 virtual environment following this. Within the virtual environment pip install -r requirements.txt

Edit the conf.json config file accordingly specifying the chrome bin path, e.g. by typying which google-chrome in a UNIX shell command line, the chrome driver path, the desired queries and so forth.

Ultimately to scrape users, you would've run python scrape_users.py --conf conf.json or jobs python scrape_jobs.py --conf conf.json
