Registered four accounts, three of them used this api last few days and the last one did not. Those was used are restricted today. For all accounts the initial run used dedicated cookies_dir and runs was not started in parallel for all accounts

my restriction was removed after certain hours but it does not seem very legit to use this library with unlimited access of linkedin api, also you might get permanently banned so be careful with what you do here.

After a few days of testing and google searching it seems there are two main methods to avoid this.

  1. Don't send too many requests too quickly. The evade code slows this down already
  2. The number of requests sent in 24 hours

Point 2 has blocked my accounts for a short period and then they restore your access quickly.

But for each account that has its access restored the API no longer works and I just get errors
