LinkedIn Public Profile Page Parser
Parse data from Public LinkedIn Profile Page for educational purposes.
Why?
The LinkedIn API used to be really good (back in 2012 ... ) but in 2015 someone decided to reduce access to "normal developers" so they can charge "partners" for increased access ...
If there was a way to get profile data directly from the API we would not have to waste our time Parsing the Public Profile Pages ...
But, that's the state we're in, so this is what we have to do.
What?
As the name suggests this node.js module lets you parse the public profile page for any LinkedIn profile by supplying a valid LinkedIn URL.
How?
Basic usage
Note: This Node.js Module ONLY Works as a SERVER-Side Script
(LinkedIn Blocks ALL Browser-Based CORS Requests)
Install the linkedin-public-profile-parser package from NPM:
npm install linkedin-public-profile-parser --saveThen in your code:
var LP = require('linkedin-public-profile-parser');
var url = 'https://uk.linkedin.com/in/simonlab';
LP(url, function(err, data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); // see below for sample output JSON
})Want More?
if you want more control over the process try this:
curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3" https://uk.linkedin.com/in/iteles -o test/fixtures/iteles.htmlThen parse the html you just downloaded:
var fs = require('fs');
var profile = require('../lib/profile');
var file = __dirname + '/fixtures/iteles.html'
var url = 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/iteles';
fs.readFile(file, function(err, html) {
profile(url, html, function(err, data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
})
})Which will print out the following parsed result:

Ever the natural co-ordinator, I hold various positions leading teams and organising meetups (Ladies Who Code).Always happy to have a chat about anything I can help with or answer questions, get in touch!",
