## What it is
A Python library that scrapes LinkedIn for user, company, and job data using Playwright with an async API. It provides Pydantic data models, session management, and progress callbacks for extracting profile details, company pages, posts, and job listings.

## Use cases
- scrape linkedin profiles for contact and work history data
- extract company information from linkedin pages
- collect job listings from linkedin
- harvest company posts with engagement metrics
- reuse authenticated linkedin sessions for scraping
- export linkedin profile data to structured python objects

## When to choose
- you need programmatic access to linkedin profile, company, or job data in Python
- you want an async scraper with typed Pydantic models
- you need to automate linkedin data collection with session reuse

## When to avoid
- you need a compliant or officially supported LinkedIn API integration
- you cannot accept the legal/ToS risks of scraping LinkedIn
- you rely on the old synchronous Selenium v2 API without migrating

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: web-scraping, http-client, data-science
- domain: crawlers, social-media, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: linkedin, playwright, async, selenium, profile-scraping, pydantic, data-engineering
