linkedin-profile
One LinkedIn profile as one row: name, headline, location, About (500 chars), current company, school, followers, link. profile = the public identifier (williamhgates) or the linkedin.com/in/ URL; an internal id (ACoAA…) needs a session. A refused page falls back to a second source. session (optional) = your li_at + JSESSIONID cookies; adds LinkedIn's own name, headline, location; 2 units. You supply your own session. Crawl4AI uses it for this run only and does not store it. Your account and the site's terms are your responsibility. LinkedIn restricts accounts it sees automating.
