Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Linkedin Unofficial API

Disclaimer

  • This is an unofficial API for linked in. Use at your own risk. This package could break if Linkedin does a major update.

  • It is also a possibility that the account that is used could get banned. However, in all of my testing I haven't seen this happen. This package has a random sleep timer to help stay under-the-radar.

  • The getURIFromEmail function uses linkedin navigator. There is a relatively low rate-limit here for normal accounts and slightly higher premium accounts. Think 70 and 500ish respectively.

Contributing

This project was open sourced to help add new endpoints.

You can find the endpoints for new elements by loading linkedin.com (logged in), and right-click 'view source'.

From there there the endpoints will be in the source code.

From there you can use the Dev Tools network tab to find the headers that are used. Usually it requires a crsf-token header with a value found in the cookie from when you login. There is a helper function for this located in src/utils/helpers called getJSESSIONFromJar

Right now the transformer is pretty messy. I'd appreciate help cleaning it up.

To contribute, please open an issue or PR and document any changes for the end user. I will approve review and approve them.

I will write tests.

Example

const client = require('unoffical-linkedin-api')

(async () => {

    try {
        // Login Cookie Saved
        await client.login(process.env.EMAIL, process.env.PASSWORD)

        const profileURI = client.getURIFromEmail('[email protected]')
        
        const identifier = client.getProfileIdentifierFromURI(profileURI)

        /* The second parameter, if true, uses the transformer to remove proprietary linkedin junk and 
        * also gets more skills and experience. The skills and experience initially returned are limited.
        */

        const profile    =  client.getProfileById(identifier, false)

        console.log(profile)

    } catch(e) {
        console.error(e)
    }
      
})()
