advice to avoid CHALLENGE

[Eitol]

To prevent the challenge from being sent to me, I used Firefox cookies:

• I logged in with Firefox
• Then I extract the cookies with browser_cookie3

cookiejar_simple = browser_cookie3.firefox(domain_name='.linkedin.com')
cookiejar = requests.cookies.RequestsCookieJar()
for cookie in cookiejar_simple:
    cookiejar.set_cookie(cookie)        
api = Linkedin('', '', cookies=cookiejar)

I leave it to you as advice because it has helped me.

Worked for me, thanks!

Important context for anyone else who may not realize: Chrome and possibly all Chromium browsers currently implement a difficult-to-circumvent (at least on Windows) lock on the cookies file. Firefox does not. You can go down a whole set of rabbit holes trying to figure that out, or just use a non-Chromium browser.

This is how I do it. Just paste into your browser's dev console:

function getLinkedinSessionCookie() {
  const cookieName = "JSESSIONID=";
  const cookies = document.cookie.split(";").map((cookie) => cookie.trim());

  const cookie = cookies.find((cookie) => cookie.startsWith(cookieName));

  if (!cookie) {
    return "";
  }

  const cookieValue = cookie.substring(cookieName.length);

  if (cookieValue.startsWith('"') && cookieValue.endsWith('"')) {
    return cookieValue.slice(1, -1);
  }

  return cookieValue;
}

getLinkedinSessionCookie()
