FAQs

Do I need a LinkedIn account? Yes. A valid li_at session cookie is required to access the LinkedIn Voyager API.

How many posts can I scrape? Up to 500 posts per profile. LinkedIn's feed API may return fewer posts for older profiles.

Will my account get flagged? The scraper uses realistic delays and follows LinkedIn's API patterns. Using a residential proxy reduces the risk of rate limiting.

Can I scrape multiple profiles at once? Yes. Add multiple URLs to profileUrls and the scraper processes them sequentially.

What is the li_at cookie? It's your LinkedIn authentication token. In Chrome: DevTools → Application → Cookies → www.linkedin.com → find li_at.
