This service allows to fetch data about individuals or companies on Linkedin.

You can try out the tool on my personal server here. Remember this is only a showcase interface.

npm i linkedin-client

const linkedinClient = require('linkedin-client'); (async () => { const client = new LinkedinClient('YOUR_LINKEDIN_COOKIE'); const data = await LinkedinClient.get('https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/'); console.log(data); })();

If you want to retrieve people details :

node src/cli.js https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/

Or if you want to retrieve company information :

node src/cli.js https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft/

npm test

Want to try running it on you own ? You will need your Linkedin cookie called "li_at". This way, requests will be sent on your behalf.

git clone https://github.com/Cooya/Linkedin.git linkedin cd linkedin npm install npm run build touch config.js npm start

Complete the configuration file "config.js" as follows :

module.exports = { cookie: 'YOUR_LINKEDIN_COOKIE' };

• Folder src/v1 : At the very beginning, the project was a freelance mission for a client needing some leads. I used Linkedin API v1.
• Folder src/v2 : After that I decided to design a web interface to showcase the tool, which might be useful for other people. I was limited by the Linkedin API, so I somehow completed it by retrieving data with Puppeteer, a driver for an headless Google Chrome browser.
• The Linkedin API v1 is now deprecated and the v2 is not really usable so, in this third version, there is no more use of the API and I completely skipped the use of web browser, it is a simple HTTP request and Cheerio does the job.
