Using Cookies To Login

You can use cookies instead of providing email and password to login. Cookies use an already logged credential and will bypass login phase, it's very useful for scrapedin in a remote server.

1. Extract cookies from a session:

You have to be logged in your personal computer on LinkedIn, and then extract your cookies from your browser and save them in a file.

If you don't know how to do that, we suggest to install EditThisCookie chrome extension, after installing open a logged LinkedIn website and via the extension click on export and save the contents in a file.

2. Pass cookies to scrapedin:

const scrapedin = require('scrapedin')
const fs = require('fs')

const cookies = fs.readFileSync('./yourCookiesFile')
const options = {
  cookies: JSON.parse(cookies)
}

const profileScraper = await scrapedin(options)
const profile = profileScraper('https://www.linkedin.com/in/some-profile/')
