Prevent being suspended or block with active (older) LinkedIn account

Closed

Actor failed because of expired cookies. Immediately knew that my account was suspended because of the use of this actor. My personal account is a very old and active account with alot of connection and so a lot of value.

I currently have the proxy of Apify activated and im running this actor in my Next JS project.

Im looking for options to prevent my account from being blocked permenantly with one of these questions:

  • Do you know if its possible to rent cookies to run this actor on?
  • Is it possible to add extra safeguards with this actor like sending the User Agent (or is this alreadt being handle by the actor or apify)?
  • Is it necessay to randomize the delays between each run, to mimic human behaviour and to comply with linkedins rate limits?
  • What are other options we can try in order to bypass linkedin security?

Thanks in advanced.

In order to quickly identify the reason of your issue, I need to inspect your run.

Please share the URL of the run where you faced this issue. You can find your runs on this page: https://console.apify.com/actors/runs

The reason for not running is due to the cookie expired because linkedin suspended my account, when running the actor multiple times (for testing the code) in a short time frame. See attachment.

That's why im wondering what options do we have to prevent further suspension of my linkedin account, when running this actor?

Last question. Is each run considered as a new LinkedIn login attempt?

It depends on your usage pattern, if you run multiple instances of the actor simultaneously, then your account will get suspended. It doesn't login to linkedin account, just attaches cookies.
