I.e. Add people on Linkedin

POST

{"trackingId":"XVpxyROJQ1ybTCQtEFrl8A==","invitations":[],"excludeInvitations":[],"invitee":{"com.linkedin.voyager.growth.invitation.InviteeProfile":{"profileId":"<profile_id>"}}}

to url

/voyager/api/growth/normInvitations

Fixes #10, #133

• Added a function to generate a random TrackingId
• Added add_connection functionality

Do let me know how I could fix the tests as well.

I run the code listed in the examples (and other attempts)

results = linkedin.search_people( keywords='software,lol', connection_of='AC000120303', network_depth='F', regions=[4909], industries=[29, 1] )

but I got this error

in search_people filters.append(f'geoRegion->{"|".join(regions)}') TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, int found

Hi guys,

Hope you are all well !

I was wondering if I can fetch the list of all posts (for eg, https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipvollet/detail/recent-activity/shares) with linkedin-api ?

Thanks for your inputs and insights on that.

Cheers, X

I got this error:

jobs = api.search_jobs(keywords='software engineer',experience='2',job_type='F')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-e8676eef6663> in <module>()
----> 1 jobs = api.search_jobs(keywords='software engineer',experience='2',job_type='F')

TypeError: search_jobs() got an unexpected keyword argument 'experience'

I installed with

pip3 install linkedin-api~=2.0.0a

When calling search_people or search multiple times, as soon as there is a result these methods will keep returning that same result for all subsequent searches.

I can't send param's to this function. I notice that you put a comment line that

# passing 'params' doesn't work properly, think it's to do with List(). 
# Might be a bug in 'requests' ? 

Is there any quick fix for this? I really need this.

Not sure if you've encountered this case, but the authentication sometimes doesn't work for me. The following exception will be thrown out:

res.status_code 401
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:/linkedin-api/examples/basic.py", line 60, in <module>
    linkedin = Linkedin(credentials['username'], credentials['password'])
  File "F:\linkedin-api\linkedin_api\linkedin.py", line 30, in __init__
    self.client.authenticate(username, password)
  File "F:\linkedin-api\linkedin_api\client.py", line 102, in authenticate
    raise Exception()
Exception

I am thinking it might be the case that LinkedIn is blocking the API for some reason, but the account itself is fine (I can still login thru the web portal) - so I am wondering if you've encountered this before?

As mentioned in Readme. Challenge error is coming because of continuous requests. But it is not true in my case. CHALLENGE error is coming after 1st request. After some analysis, I found out that this is happening after executing self.client.authenticate(username, password) function in linkdedin.py file. After executing this script one-time LinkedIn in sending me following mail:

Hi XYZ,   To make sure you continue having the best experience possible on LinkedIn, we're regularly monitoring our site and the Internet to keep your account information safe. We've recently noticed a potential risk to your LinkedIn account coming from outside LinkedIn and just to be safe, we've locked your account for now. You'll need to reset your password in order to unlock your account. Here's how: Go to the LinkedIn website. Next to the password field, click the "Forgot your password" link, and enter your email address. You'll get an email from LinkedIn asking you to click a link that will help you reset your password. Once you've reset your password, a confirmation email will be sent to the confirmed email addresses on your account.

I'm using latest version of linkedin-api yet I'm getting this error:

Hi tomquirk,

Thank you for your great package! However, as a newbie, I met several problems since the install step.

• It seems -e should be removed from the Installation step.

• And after I load the package, I can't even use the first step by Linkedin function. For example, this is not working api = Linkedin('[email protected]', 'iheartmicrosoft'). And the error is 'CookieRepository' object has no attribute 'logger'.

I would be appreciated if you could tell me how to solve this problem. And my system is Windows 10 pro, Python 3.7.3 with Anaconda. Thanks for your reply!

The package worked for me a few weeks ago but is now no longer working for some reason.

Here's my simple code:

from linkedin_api import Linkedin

api: Unknown  = Linkedin('***', '***')

# GET a profile
profile: Unknown  = api.get_profile('billy-g')
print(profile)

When using the https://github.com/tomquirk/linkedin-api.git version of the package, this fails with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/hima/Workspace/del/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 971, in json
    return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)

    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/hima/Workspace/del/run.py", line 6, in <module>
    profile = api.get_profile('billy-g')

    raise RequestsJSONDecodeError(e.msg, e.doc, e.pos)
requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

When using the 2.0.0a version of the package, it fails during authentication instead with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/hima/Workspace/del/run.py", line 3, in <module>
    api = Linkedin('***', '***')

I'm on python 3.10.4

Any ideas why?

Hello, i tried to install version 2, however, due to problems with lxml installation i cannot manage to install the lastest version, only the unmaintained 1.0.0. Anyone can help?

Has anyone successfully managed to add filters to the search companies such as location, industry and company size??

I have tried to play with the code but to no success currently

Hi, I would like to retrieve my saved posts. The URL is https://www.linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts

I believed I found the query using the Chrome Devtools but it doesn't work. I get an HTTP 400 error ("Bad request")

Do you think it's possible to retrieve the saved posts?

Here the code I use:

api = Linkedin('<login>', '<password>')
params = {
        "decorationId": "com.linkedin.voyager.dash.deco.search.SearchClusterCollection-169",
        "q": "all",
        "query":  "(flagshipSearchIntent:SEARCH_MY_ITEMS_SAVED_POSTS)",
        "start": 0
    }
api._fetch(f"/search/dash/clusters", params=params)  # get a 400 error here

This shows likes, etc. for a post.
