Great idea. I love a tool that unexpectedly gets my account banned.
Facts, they will ban your LinkedIn account for scraping. Good luck!
I work with someone in Spain and asked her to log into my Recruiter Lite account to review candidates. LinkedIn gave a pretty stern warning about sharing the account with anyone and that I’d be banned if it happened again.

I’m guessing that the same thing would happen if you started letting a scraper act on your behalf.
