LinkedIn Parser
I built a scraper to help the Betsys HR team source candidates from LinkedIn, storing the parsed profiles in Postgres with a Power BI dashboard on top.
I wrote it in Cypress — shame on me, today I would use Playwright.
I also tried parsing the LinkedIn mobile app through Appium, but it was too slow, and you get blocked anyway.
