Linkedin-Profile-Viewer - Scrapper

🔍 Introducing My LinkedIn Profile Data Scraper API! 🚀

Have you ever wanted to access LinkedIn profile data without notifying the user? Look no further! I've developed an API that allows you to scrape LinkedIn profile data in JSON format, all while ensuring the user remains unaware.

🔗 How It Works: By utilizing the userHandle or URL, you can effortlessly retrieve LinkedIn profile data in JSON format. The best part? The user won't receive any notifications.

🍪 LinkedIn Cookies Required: To set up this API, you'll need your LinkedIn cookies: li_at and JSESSIONID. These cookies are essential for seamless integration and data retrieval.

🚀 Key Features:

Stealthy Data Retrieval: Access LinkedIn profile data without raising any suspicion.
Cookie-based Setup: Use your li_at and JSESSIONID cookies to seamlessly set up the API.
Effortless Integration: Incorporate the API into your projects for smooth data extraction.

Environment Variables

NOTE: For development create .env file

COOKIE = 'li_at=<LI_AT>; JSESSIONID="<JSESSIONID>";'
CSRF = '<JSESSIONID>'
MONGO_URI = ""
PORT = 4000

<LI_AT>: Replace with li_at cookie of LinkedIn
: Replace with JSESSIONID cookie of LinkedIn
MONGO_URI: Mongodb Connection String

End Points

API Endpoint: POST `/api/profile`

This endpoint retrieves a user's profile information based on the provided user handle or profile URL.

Request Body

The request body should be a JSON object with at least one of the following properties:

userHandle (string, optional): The user handle associated with the LinkedIn profile. If provided, the user's profile information will be fetched based on this handle.
url (string, optional): The URL of the user's LinkedIn profile. If provided, the userHandle will be extracted from the URL and used to fetch the profile information.

Example Request Body

{
    "userHandle": "lokesh-patil-77221a24a"
}

{
    "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/lokesh-patil-77221a24a/"
}

Note: You can provide either the userHandle or the url in the request body. If both are provided, the userHandle will take precedence.

Response

The response will contain the profile information of the requested user
