Tiny LinkedIn profile scraper for public profiles.
Scraping LinkedIn Profiles does violate their policies and they may sue you. Therefore this might be my last version of this tool. please see: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/56347
in console:
npm install linkedin-public-profile
and in file:
const linkedInProfile = require('linkedin-public-profile');just call the module with a public linkedin profile url. It returns a promise which resolves to the profile.
'use strict';
/* eslint no-console: 0*/
const linkedInProfile = require('linkedin-public-profile');
const url = 'https://de.linkedin.com/in/julianamelung';
// standard usage
linkedInProfile(url).then(profile => { // chain your logic
console.log(profile);
});
// With links to similar profiles
linkedInProfile(url, true)
.then(result => {
console.log(result.profile); // the requested profile
console.log(result.links); // the featured profiles on the page
});
// usage with HTML
const request = require('request-promise');
request(url) // request with html output
// return the LinkedInProfile promise
.then(html => linkedInProfile(html))
// promise chain
.then(profile => { // chain your logic
console.log(profile);
});The result looks like:
