- Do not use the `selenium web driver as it is incompatible with all devices and cloud platforms.
- Before making any changes, please check whether the module you want to add exists. If yes, then you can add your functionality as a method only make a separate module and class for it.

Hi @nikhil25803, I am interested in working on this project! I will try my best to complete the required work for this project within the stipulated time. Would you please assign this work to me?
##Hello @nikhil25803 , please assign this issue to me as I have already worked on this kind of problem in the past.
Rather than putting the effort into building your own scraping and dealing with bypassing LinkedIn's complex authwall mechanisms (IPs, cookies, browser fingerprinting, etc.), you could use something like Proxycurl, which is a B2B enrichment service that scrapes the data for you. Give it a look and see if that's up your alley.
P.S. Yes, I do work there!
