    LinkedIn is well known for shutting down scrapers and mirror sites

    Is that actually required?

    I'm not at my computer right now, but as far as I remember most LinkedIn posts are viewable without logging in if you use the direct URLs, for example:

    https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:<post_id>

    https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<activity_id>

    Unless something changed recently, those links should work anonymously.

      (Not OP)

      They block me with login walls all the time, sometimes even a captcha that asks for ID verification.

      Profiles are what I want to view, posts don't really interest me

        Exactly. I care about profiles as well.

    The best thing you can do with LinkedIn is delete your account and never look back. Horrible platform full of hot garbage and subpar for privacy.

      So exactly how were the last three companies that hired me to work remotely supposed to find me - including my one job at BigTech? Two of my last three jobs were from unsolicited outreach from internal company recruiters and the other was from my reaching out to a recruiter about a job that was looking for someone with my area of expertise - a niche but popular AWS service.

      And it feels like half of the world's compute is wasted on those self-indulgent cringe posts now.
