{"library":"linkedin-private-api","type":"library","category":null,"description":"This `linkedin-private-api` package offers an unofficial, TypeScript-written wrapper for interacting with the LinkedIn platform programmatically. It operates by simulating browser requests, allowing automation of tasks without requiring official OAuth tokens; instead, it authenticates using direct user credentials (username and password). The current stable version is 1.1.2, with recent minor updates (v1.1.1, for example, introduced job searching and invitation notes). Its release cadence appears infrequent, suggesting a more conservative development or maintenance-oriented approach. A key differentiator is its ability to bypass official API restrictions, enabling direct automation of tasks such as searching profiles and jobs, sending connection invitations, and managing messages. This functionality is well-suited for specialized automation not covered by the public LinkedIn API, though users must be aware of the inherent risks associated with using unofficial access methods, including potential account action by LinkedIn.","language":"javascript","status":"active","version":"1.1.2","tags":["javascript","linkedin-nodejs-api","linkedin-api","linked-private-api","linked-unofficial-api","linkedin-web-api","typescript"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install linkedin-private-api","imports":["import { Client } from 'linkedin-private-api'","import { Scroller } from 'linkedin-private-api'","import type { JobSearchHit } from 'linkedin-private-api'"]},{"cmd":"yarn add linkedin-private-api","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add linkedin-private-api","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/eilonmore/linkedin-private-api","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/linkedin-private-api","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/linkedin-private-api/compatibility"}}
