OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • 1,773 GitHub stars, top of productivity category.
  • 100 commits on main in the last 30 days. Top cadence in the directory.
  • Apache-2.0 license.
  • Comprehensive surface: profiles, companies, jobs, messages.
  • Active community maintenance.
Weaknesses
  • Selenium-based scraping rather than LinkedIn first-party API; expect breakage when LinkedIn changes the DOM.
  • LinkedIn Terms of Service restrict automated scraping; review before production use.
  • Requires LinkedIn account credentials in environment.
Security Notes

Credentials carry full account access; use a dedicated LinkedIn account scoped to the agent flow rather than personal credentials. LinkedIn detects automated activity; expect periodic re-authentication. Honour LinkedIn ToS in your jurisdiction before deploying.

Best For

Sales and recruiting teams running LinkedIn-driven workflows; founders building outbound agents that personalise per-profile; researchers who want LinkedIn profile data inside an agent loop.

The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
