It can seem that way with server-side anti-scraping techniques with brute force detection and the like. But at some point you have to accept that playing the game on the client-side needs to stop escalating once you're making dozens of local extension resource requests in a user's browser. It makes me want to publish and maintain a legit scraper for LinkedIn that replicates human interaction. They'd DMCA the repo I'm sure, but it goes to show who fights against the open web. I see a "get X, Y, and Z features for free when you use LinkedIn Desktop instead of the website" coming. |

...and then the scrapers replicate interaction with that app instead. UI automation isn't hard these days.
