Hi hybla0,

Even I am facing this issue. Any workaround for this?

I got the same problem today and sorted it! Go to LinkedinApiSettings.COOKIE_PATH on your linux:

/home/ubuntu/.linkedin_api/cookies/

on windows:

C:\Users\<username>\.linkedin_api\cookies

and delete the cookies.jr file and run it again.

Thanks a lot, Marcelo.

Hi Marcelo,

After clearing the jr file, for each request, it is navigating to the security page. Previously, we didn't have any issues by using this script but now we are unable to extract the data.

Thanks, this worked for me, window Users/{user_name}/.linkedin_api/cookies
