The first step in using LinkedIn public data scraper is to sign up for an account. It is very important to set the language of your account to English so that the scraper can access their data. It is also possible to scrape a user's profile while he/she is logged in. Then, you can provide the email and password as variables. They will be prompted in the terminal. If you would like, you can also provide the job title as a variable. LinkedIn's User Agreement

There's a legal gray area when it comes to LinkedIn Public Data Scraper. While LinkedIn has a User Agreement for Public Data Scraper that clearly prohibits the use of user data, its terms of service do not directly address it. Rather, it merely prohibits copying and monetizing user data without the explicit consent of LinkedIn. If you're considering using the social networking site to create a scraper, you should carefully read the terms of service before proceeding.

The first legal gray area is data privacy. LinkedIn has claimed that scraping the data violates its User Agreement for Public Data Scraper, and it has also threatened legal action against a San Francisco-based start-up called hiQ Labs. HiQ's scraping service harvests LinkedIn user profiles and uses the data to analyze workforce data and identify skill shortages. The company won a preliminary injunction against LinkedIn two years ago, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has since upheld the injunction.

LinkedIn is denying hiQ Labs access to their public profiles because they violated LinkedIn's User Agreement for Public Data Scrapers. This means that the company may be breaking the law. But this lawsuit has a good point for privacy and data-sharing. LinkedIn will have to take action against hiQ and its business partners. If this lawsuit is successful, hiQ will get its scraping back up and running again. LinkedIn's appeal to the US Supreme Court
