=Overview=
The main script for this crawler is:
crawl_linkedin.py
The old documentation said that the programs/scripts (see details below) are located on our [[Software Repository|Bonobo Git Server]].
repository: Web_Crawler
branch: researcher/linkedin
directory: /linkedin

===search(query)===
This function assumes you are already logged into LinkedIn. It will type in the search bar the query that it is given, and begin the search for the given query.
== To what extent are we able to reproduce the network structure in LinkedIn ==
Example 1: 1st degree contact- You are connected to his profile
Albert Nabiullin (485 connections)
Example 2: 2nd degree contact- You are connected to someone who is connected to him
Amir Kazempour Esmati (63 connections)
Example 3: 3rd degree contact- You are connected to someone who is connected to someone else who is connected to her.
Linda Szabados(500+ connections)
Any profile with a distance greater than three is defined as out your network.
Summary: Individual specific network information are not accessible even for the first degree connections. Therefore, any such plans to construct a network structure based on the connection of every individuals is not feasible.
It seems that the only possible direction would be using the advanced search feature.
