Step 2: Log into LinkedIn in your browser

Step 3: Click the cookie extension icon, then:

• Cookie-Editor: Click "Export" → "Export as JSON"
• EditThisCookie: Click the export button (looks like ↓)

Step 4: Paste the JSON array into the "cookies" field

The most important cookie is li_at - this is your LinkedIn session token.
