Any updates on linkedin 2022?

[ernests]

It looks like Linkedin has made UI changes and by doing so also changed class names. As this tool is scraping UI it can't locate stuff anymore.

wait so does this mean this app can't work at all now?

[matardy]

Yes, it is actually a challenge to make scraping from linkedin because its UI keeps in constant change.

[valentijnverberk]

Facing the same issue - how can we get it to work?

[matardy]

We need to study LinkedIn Web Structure and change all css classes names. For example the container who shows the work experience in a LinkedIn profile used to have the name "experiences" now the name is "css-selector-8..." and so.

What @matardy says is true. we can't use this anymore unless they update the tool for LinkedIn 2022 UI version
