Updated and simplified version of Rekrut (Linkedin scraper for extracting profile data)
Yal§ or Yale3 (pronounced as Yal-crow) is a simplified version of Rekrut. Just enable developer mode in your chrome://extensions
tab and click on load unpacked
button and browse to the cloned folder. Run it on linkedin website profiles. Raw JSON profile data will be displayed on a sidebar that will appear when you click on the extension icon. Remember to scroll down slowly and click on all "show more" buttons if any to correctly extract data.
Note
Extraction Code in Rekrut chrome extension has become obsolete due to several policy changes on linkedin website such as content policy and certain CSS and DOM design changes. However, the server sided script can still be implemented to this day.
Currently able to extract:-
-
-
profile data
-
-
-
experience section
-
-
-
education section
-
-
-
certifications
-
-
-
volunteer experience
-
-
-
skills section
-
-
-
accomplishments
-
-
courses
-
-
-
projects
-
-
-
languages
-
-
test scores
Planning not to extract these until the previous minor release bug of accomplishment extraction is not fixed
-
awards
Same as test scores
-
removed checkboxes on test scores
and awards
section. Planning not to extract these as the information from these is not viable unless the accomplishments
section bug is fixed with a long term solution. For now assuming that entire accomplishment
section has been extracted in progress.
Click on each show more
button for each of the sections. In case of the accomplishments
section it is strictly recommended that the user not "extend" the drop-down arrows shown besides each section. The information extracted will not be properly formatted.
I strive to make the code as general as possible but the extractor tool may not be perfect. If you find any bug on any profile please let me know in issues section.
