Simple to use wrapper around the private LinkedIn API, written in async Python.

linkauto's Issues

Security of this project

Hey there!
I've been going through the source code to get an idea of how you're accessing the linkedin api directly, since I'm working on a linkedin automation (nodejs based) myself.
I was just wondering if you've got any idea of how safe this method is, i.e. would linkedin be able to tell, through network traffic analysis, that those requests were not made by their platform directly? I just want to avoid getting my account banned.

Thanks for putting this up for everyone to use, keep it up!

fix: use helper function `get_page_instance` everywhere.

Right now, most requests use a constant value for the x-li-page-instance header. It should be suffixed with a random uuid as tracking id. The get_page_instance function does this.

ModuleNotFoundError

Howdy. Love the premise of this package. Having trouble using it - running into a ModuleNotFoundError.
I made sure that the required package versions matched.

Details:

D:>python

import linkauto
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'linkauto'

Thanks again for creating this, hope to get to play around with it.

Missing Closed Bracket in User Agent?

Hey again :)

I've been going through the source code and noticed, that the get_useragent function in linkauto/api/mixins/helper.py, line 22 is missing a closed bracket (bracket opens in front of "Linux", but never closes)

def get_useragent(self) -> str:
  return f"{self.config.linkedin_app.appId}/{self.config.linkedin_app.clientMinorVersion} " \
         f"(Linux; U; {self.config.device.androidVersion}; {self.config.device.region}; " \
         f"{self.config.device.model}; Build/NMF26Q; Cronet/{self.config.device.cronetVersion}"

Is that on purpose or an error?
