Hi @rathishseng,

I have to agree with @Parth_Doshi, try not to get yourself black listed from crawling using UI automation on Linkedin especially, if you are using your own Linkedin credentials. Linkedin can track your public IP and in the worstcase block your entire public IP from accessing linkedin. Just an heads up, it may not happen, but it can happen :slight_smile:

Do read which bot agents are allowed and which arent. Almost all websites with personal data have strict crawling requirements and these are specified in “/robot.txt” endpoint and will need your profile to be while listed from such scraping.

You will have to send a request to be whitelisted

Regarding the solution that is a good find. But it is worthwhile to check if it is different for Open To Work and Hiring tags or what if a new tag is introduced?

If this can not be distinguished using the selector shown in the solution may result in scraping profiles with any tag.

Linkedin can introduce new tags and the automation may end up being brittle.
