There are services that do that, might not be open source but with free tiers like common room.

LinkedIn might not like you scraping the site as well, esp if you use sale navigator to get access to deeper info. Keep that in mind

Yes, I am aware about this and I won't be using my account for extraction. Users will put their session cookies for data extraction.

Great idea. I love a tool that unexpectedly gets my account banned.

Facts, they will ban your LinkedIn account for scraping. Good luck!

I work with someone in Spain and asked her to log into my Recruiter Lite account to review candidates. LinkedIn gave a pretty stern warning about sharing the account with anyone and that I’d be banned if it happened again.

I’m guessing that the same thing would happen if you started letting a scraper act on your behalf.
