# linkedin-scrapper

Scrapper of linkedin public profiles

```

  $ npm install linkedin-profile

```

```

  var callback = function(obj) {

    console.log(obj.result, obj.$, obj.response);

    // obj.result -> json filled with linkedin data

    // obj.$ -> cheerio object you can use as jQuery

    // obj.response -> request's response object

  }

  var scrapper = require('linkedin-scrapper');

  scrapper('http://public.profile.url', callback, additionalMapping={})

```

Can be extended with additionalMapping parameter which merges with mapping.coffee:

```

addditionalMapping = {

  sections: {

    your-section-name: {

      mapping: {

        field: '.additional > #selector'

      }

    }

  }

  defaultSectionMapping: {

    field: '.additional default > #selector'

  }

}

```

Be aware linkedin uses different markup for profiles when you are authorized/not authorized.

You should use not authorized selectors - this script didn't login (but it should).

# Troubleshooting

**LinkedIn markup may change. So launch** ```npm test``` **first**

Linkedin blocks AWS, Travis and other SaaS/PaaS by IP.
