Troubleshooting

I keep getting a CHALLENGE

Linkedin will throw you a curve ball in the form of a Challenge URL. We currently don't handle this, and so you're kinda screwed. We think it could be only IP-based (i.e. logging in from different location). Your best chance at resolution is to log out and log back in on your browser.

Known reasons for Challenge include:

• 2FA
• Rate-limit - "It looks like you’re visiting a very high number of pages on LinkedIn.". Note - n=1 experiment where this page was hit after ~900 contiguous requests in a single session (within the hour) (these included random delays between each request), as well as a bunch of testing, so who knows the actual limit.

Please add more as you come across them.

Search problems

• Mileage may vary when searching general keywords like "software" using the standard search method. They've recently added some smarts around search whereby they group results by people, company, jobs etc. if the query is general enough. Try to use an entity-specific search method (i.e. search_people) where possible.

How it works

This project attempts to provide a simple Python interface for the Linkedin API.

Do you mean the legit Linkedin API?

NO! To retrieve structured data, the Linkedin Website uses a service they call Voyager. Voyager endpoints give us access to pretty much everything we could want from Linkedin: profiles, companies, connections, messages, etc. - anything that you can see on linkedin.com, we can get from Voyager.

This project aims to provide complete coverage for Voyager.

How does it work?

Deep dive

Voyager endpoints look like this:

https://www.linkedin.com/voyager/api/identity/profileView/tom-quirk

Or, more clearly

 ___________________________________ _______________________________
|             base path             |            resource           |
https://www.linkedin.com/voyager/api /identity/profileView/tom-quirk

They are authenticated with a simple cookie, which we send with every request, along with a bunch of headers.

To get a cookie, we POST a given username and password (of a valid Linkedin user account) to https://www.linkedin.com/uas/authenticate.

Find new endpoints

We're looking at the Linkedin website and we spot some data we want. What now?

The following describes the most reliable method to find relevant endpoints:

1. view source

2. command-f/search the page for some keyword in the data. This will exist inside of a <code> tag.

3. Scroll down to the next adjacent element which will be another <code> tag, probably with an id that looks something like

   <code style="display: none" id="datalet-bpr-guid-3900675">
     {"request":"/voyager/api/identity/profiles/tom-quirk/profileView","status":200,"body":"bpr-guid-3900675"}
   </code>

The value of request is the url! 🤘

You can also use the network tab in you browsers developer tools, but you will encounter mixed results.

How Clients query Voyager

linkedin.com uses the Rest-li Protocol for querying data. Rest-li is an internal query language/syntax where clients (like linkedin.com) specify what data they want. It's conceptually similar to the GraphQL.

Here's an example of making a request for an organisation's name and groups (the Linkedin groups it manages):

/voyager/api/organization/companies?decoration=(name,groups*~(entityUrn,largeLogo,groupName,memberCount,websiteUrl,url))&q=universalName&universalName=linkedin

The "querying" happens in the decoration parameter, which looks like the following:

(
    name,
    groups*~(entityUrn,largeLogo,groupName,memberCount,websiteUrl,url)
)

Here, we request an organisation name and a list of groups, where for each group we want largeLogo, groupName, and so on.

Different endpoints use different parameters (and perhaps even different syntaxes) to specify these queries. Notice that the above query had a parameter q whose value was universalName; the query was then specified with the decoration parameter.

In contrast, the /search/cluster endpoint uses q=guided, and specifies its query with the guided parameter, whose value is something like

List(v->PEOPLE)

It could be possible to document (and implement a nice interface for) this query language - as we add more endpoints to this project, I'm sure it will become more clear if such a thing would be possible (and if it's worth it).

Release a new version

1. Bump __version__ in __init__.py

3. pipenv run publish

linkedin-api's Issues

search_people does not work properly

I found the bug referenced here.

Change L82, adding safe="()," to exclude problematic characters:

res = self._fetch(
    "/search/blended?{}".format(urlencode(default_params, safe="(),")),
    headers={"accept": "application/vnd.linkedin.normalized+json+2.1"},
)

Great work on this library! :)

Get all the conversation content?

Hi,

This is a great work! One question I have is how to get the full conversation content?

From the code I see how to send the messages, like below; and I guess getting the content for the conversation should be very similar. However, how do you compose the request and payload to get the content? (And how did you get all those format?)

Thanks!

    def send_message(self, conversation_urn_id, message_body):
        """
        Send a message to a given conversation. If error, return true.
        """
        params = {"action": "create"}

        payload = json.dumps(
            {
                "eventCreate": {
                    "value": {
                        "com.linkedin.voyager.messaging.create.MessageCreate": {
                            "body": message_body,
                            "attachments": [],
                            "attributedBody": {"text": message_body, "attributes": []},
                            "mediaAttachments": [],
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        )

        res = self.client.session.post(
            f"{self.client.API_BASE_URL}/messaging/conversations/{conversation_urn_id}/events",
            params=params,
            data=payload,
        )

        return res.status_code != 201

Add ability to "view" a profile

View someones profile, such that they get a notification that you "viewed their profile" 👀 .

Request

fetch("https://www.linkedin.com/li/track", {
  headers: {
    accept: "*/*",
    "accept-language": "en-AU,en-GB;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7",
    "cache-control": "no-cache",

  referrerPolicy: "no-referrer-when-downgrade",
  body: JSON.stringify(body),
  method: "POST",
  mode: "cors",
})

Where body is:

const body = {
    eventBody: {
      viewerPrivacySetting: "F",
      networkDistance: 2,
      vieweeMemberUrn: "urn:li:member:111111111", // target profile member URN
      // miniprofile Tracking Id
      profileTrackingId: "redacted",
      entityView: {
        viewType: "profile-view",
        viewerId: 222222222, // my member URN id (int)
        targetId: 111111111, // target profile member URN id (int)
      },
      header: {
        pageInstance: {
          pageUrn: "urn:li:page:d_flagship3_profile_view_base",
          // meta [name=clientPageInstanceId]
          trackingId: "redacted",
        },
        time: Date.now(),
        version: "1.6.8780",
        clientApplicationInstance: {
          applicationUrn: "urn:li:application:(voyager-web,voyager-web)",
          version: "1.6.8780",
          // meta[name=applicationInstance].content.trackingId
          trackingId: [
            // redacted
          ],
        },
      },
      requestHeader: {
        interfaceLocale: "en_US",
        pageKey: "d_flagship3_profile_view_base",
        path: "/in/tom-quirk/",
        referer: "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/",
      },
    },
    eventInfo: {
      appId: "com.linkedin.flagship3.d_web",
      eventName: "ProfileViewEvent",
      topicName: "ProfileViewEvent",
    },
  }

So, we need to get three pieces of data from the source HTML of the given profile for the body of our request:

• clientApplicationInstance.trackingId: get this from the meta tag of selector meta[name=applicationInstance]
• pageInstance.trackingId: from selector meta[name=clientPageInstanceId]
• profileTrackingId: from the miniprofile

Installation and other issues

Hello,
I am using Pycharm and attempting to install your package.
First of all "pip install linkedin-api" raise an error, "no such file or directory README.md".

Anyway I have installed components as per travi.yml.

I run tests pipenv run python -m pytest tests -s and got 5 tests failed, the main of them is "ERROR at setup of test_get_profile_connections", it seems I cannot get authenticated. Login/psw are absolutely right and I am connecting by the same IP I normally use for logging linkedin.

I modified .env.example to .env and this is its content
LINKEDIN_USERNAME="[email protected]"
LINKEDIN_PASSWORD="**************"
TEST_PROFILE_ID="ACoAABQ11fIBQLGQbB1V1XPBZJsRwfK5r1U2Rzt"
TEST_CONVERSATION_ID="6419123050114375168"

------>>> Pycharm raise an "unresolved reference" for linkedin.api.* <<<-----

Could someone kindly help me?

Support ability to send Linkedin messages

Issue in reading/saving cookies - Ubuntu 14

Hello,

there is an issue about saving/reading cookies in Ubuntu 14: cookies are not being saved totally and this causes a 401 error when API are used.

In windows it works fine but in Ubuntu I think pickle load/save has some char or encoding difference.

Search people function stopped working

I started getting this error:

File "C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\venv\lib\site-packages\linkedin_api\linkedin.py", line 158, in search_people
    data = self.search(params, limit=limit)
  File "C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\venv\lib\site-packages\linkedin_api\linkedin.py", line 91, in search
    for i in range(len(data["data"]["elements"])):
KeyError: 'data'

I added these checks before the loop in your library:

if data:
   if "data" in data:

It solved the error but search yields 0 results. Seems like LinkedIn stopped returning results by this endpoint.

During the past several days everything worked fine. I currently tried to authorize with different accounts and run code on several machines (Windows and Linux) with different IPs but the issue still persists

Parameter-less search returns no results found

When I try to execute a search with default params, the search itself will run to completion, but then on the last call it will print 'found none..." and return an empty list.

It appears it's an issue with the last search result having no paging and hitting the if statement in this block of code in the search function in linkedin.py

total_found = data.get("paging", {}).get("total")
if total_found == 0 or total_found is None:
    self.logger.debug("found none...")
    return []

A possible solution would be to require results to be empty as well before hitting the if

total_found = data.get("paging", {}).get("total")
if results == [] and (total_found == 0 or total_found is None):
     self.logger.debug("found none...")
     return []

Installing via pip fails

Support Company Search

No ability to search companies, looking into this now :)

Searching for people currently at a particular company yields no correct results

Using the search_people(current_company=['1441']) function is meant to list all employees at company 1441 (Google), however it yields no correct results. It generates a long list of people that do not work at the company in question, looks similar to a 'people you may know' list.

The script generates the following URL:

/voyager/api/search/blended?count=49&filters=List(resultType->PEOPLE,currentCompany->1441)&origin=GLOBAL_SEARCH_HEADER&q=all&start=0&queryContext=List(spellCorrectionEnabled->true,relatedSearchesEnabled->true,kcardTypes->PROFILE|COMPANY)

When I attempt the same search on desktop it generates the following url in the source code:

/voyager/api/search/blended?count=10&filters=List(currentCompany->1441|791962|2374003|18950635|16140|10440912,resultType->PEOPLE)&origin=OTHER&q=all&queryContext=List(spellCorrectionEnabled->true,relatedSearchesEnabled->true,kcardTypes->PROFILE|COMPANY|JOB_TITLE)&start=0

I notice the differences with respect to 'origin' and count. Changing the code so that these match does not seem to help.

Decoration ID issue

Hello,

I'm using your library and i couldn't get get_company to work, i dug into it and i figure that the decoration was wrong and lead to a 400 error. I got it working by remove it or use a decorationId like

"decorationId": "com.linkedin.voyager.deco.organization.web.WebFullCompanyMain-12"

I guess it will also be the case for get_school

Improve authentication "anti-bot-detection" mechanism

Not sure if you've encountered this case, but the authentication sometimes doesn't work for me. The following exception will be thrown out:

res.status_code 401
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:/linkedin-api/examples/basic.py", line 60, in <module>

    self.client.authenticate(username, password)
  File "F:\linkedin-api\linkedin_api\client.py", line 102, in authenticate
    raise Exception()

I am thinking it might be the case that LinkedIn is blocking the API for some reason, but the account itself is fine (I can still login thru the web portal) - so I am wondering if you've encountered this before?

Get engagers (likers/commenters) of a post

I've been going through the code, and I don't think so, but just in case.

The idea would be to have two functions, one function to extract the shares of a particular user: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-quirk/detail/recent-activity/shares/

And output the LinkedIn share posts: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tom-quirk_how-we-used-ai-to-translate-sign-language-activity-6449782512817446912-9X3U/

And another function that allows extracting the likers of the shares and outputs the id of the likers

Could this be the endpoint of the likers?

Hello,

I have logged to Linkedin but Voyger API raise a CSRF error, for this reason (I think) I am not able to extract data.

Enforce more strict linting

Need some better linting rules

search_people or search always returns same first result that found something

When calling search_people or search multiple times, as soon as there is a result these methods will keep returning that same result for all subsequent searches.

get_profile_connections returns empty array

reported via email, Dec 23, 2018, 1:11 AM

api = Linkedin(...)

connections = api.get_profile_connections(<long_id_here>)
# length = 0, expected > 0

Is there a limit for api.get_profile_connections?

Thanks for the API and it is very helpful.

It seems that there is 1000 rate limit for how many profile it can pull for Distance_1 and Distance_2. Is there a way to bypass this pull limit? Thanks in advance.

Adding people to groups

Hello,
this is not an issue but a new feature I'am trying to develop. The idea is to adding people to a given group, this is the code

def invita_gruppi(self, group_id, urn_id):
params = {"action": "create"}
eu = "urn:li:fs_groupMembership:(" + str(group_id) + "," + str(urn_id) + ")"
payload = json.dumps(
{
"elements" :[{
"entityUrn": eu,
"groupUrn": "urn:li:fs_group:" + str(group_id) ,
"miniProfileUrn": "urn:li:fs_miniProfile:" + str(urn_id),
"status": "INVITE_PENDING"
}]
}
)
print(payload)
res = self._post(
f"/groups/groupMemberships",
#params=params,
data=payload,
)
return res.status_code == 201

I have tryed in all way I could imagine but I did not succed. If somebody could help this could be a new feature to be added to the project

Get Profile not working

Suddenly the get_people function stopped working, no challenge on the profile and no problem on accessing the account on the browser.

No error is returned.

Maybe a new endpoint?

CI/CD and PyPI

First of all, thanks for this great project! 👍
already built a cool little linkedin bot with it 👨‍💻

One thing made me a bit sad it that the docs not in align with the latest PyPI package.
(linkedin.get_invitations and linkedin.reply_invitation are missing).

That's when I realized that most of the recent changes can only be used if you install the package from source, which ofc not a big problem just a little uncomfy.

Can we set up a CI/CD pipeline which auto deploy to PyPI?

Send message to connected people

Hello,

for what I see it is possible to send messages only to people with wich a conversation has started already.
I wonder if and how it would be possible to send a message to connected people even if no conversation has started.

Thank you!

api.send_message(recipients=['ping-pong-168639158'], message_body="Hello from PYTHON")

Seems like case with recipients does not work correct. It returns {"status":422}

Linkedin function not working

Hi tomquirk,

Thank you for your great package!
However, as a newbie, I met several problems since the install step.

• It seems -e should be removed from the Installation step.

• And after I load the package, I can't even use the first step by Linkedin function. For example, this is not working api = Linkedin('[email protected]', 'iheartmicrosoft'). And the error is 'CookieRepository' object has no attribute 'logger'.

I would be appreciated if you could tell me how to solve this problem. And my system is Windows 10 pro, Python 3.7.3 with Anaconda.
Thanks for your reply!

Search filters not working for search_people

When running search_people, parameters don't seem to be working. Instead, I get the same list that's returned when you search for your first degree connections.

I verified that the parameters were correct by replicating the search in browser and looking at the parameters with the calls made.
