Important Notes

1. Valid Cookies Required: You must provide valid LinkedIn session cookies from a logged-in account
2. Rate Limits: LinkedIn may rate limit or block requests if too many are made too quickly
3. Cookie Expiration: LinkedIn cookies expire, so you may need to refresh them periodically
4. Account Safety: Use residential proxies and reasonable delays to avoid account restrictions
5. Terms of Service: Ensure your usage complies with LinkedIn's Terms of Service

Troubleshooting

"400 Bad Request" errors:

• Check that your cookies are valid and not expired
• Ensure the search URL is properly formatted
• Verify that required cookies (li_at, JSESSIONID) are included

"No profiles found":

• Try a broader search with fewer filters
• Check that the search URL works in your browser first
• Verify your cookies haven't expired

Getting Help

If you encounter issues:

1. Check that your search URL works in LinkedIn's web interface
2. Verify your cookies are fresh and complete
3. Enable residential proxies for better reliability
4. Contact support with specific error messages and input configuration

Privacy & Security

• All scraping is done through LinkedIn's public search interface
