3. User-Agent Must match the browser where you exported your cookies. Get it from https://whatmyuseragent.com and paste into the input.

4. Proxy (recommended) Use a residential proxy and set the proxy country to match your LinkedIn account's location.

Tips

• Use a residential proxy and a proxy location that matches your LinkedIn account’s country to reduce blocks.
• Set User-Agent to match the browser (and ideally the same machine) where you exported your cookies.
• Export cookies from a fresh login if the actor starts failing; cookies expire.
• Add a small number of profile URLs first to test, then scale up.
