Yet Another LInkedIn Scraper...

Yet another LinkedIn Scraper...

Linky is a another LinkedIn scraper. Inspired by vysecurity and his LinkedInt project.

Currently, this method of extracting data from LinkedIn is limited to 1000 users at a time. So, Linky's HTML output has a small table at the bottom of the page which calculates the top 5 most common occupations that occur. This way, if the company has a weird naming scheme for devs, then Linky should be able to spot it and report it back. With these new found data points, the --keywords flag can be used to attempt to filter the output.

I will open to issues for the new features I'm working on implementing:

1. Bypassing the 1000 limit

2. Additional mode to read and extract technical details from users LinkedIn bios
