Guidelines

  1. Always check auth status before running commands if it might have expired
  2. Use --json flag when parsing output programmatically
  3. Respect rate limits - LinkedIn may throttle API requests
  4. Don't spam - Use messaging responsibly
  5. Profile URNs look like: urn:li:person:xxxxx
  6. Post URNs look like: urn:li:share:xxxxx

Troubleshooting

"Not authenticated"

Run: lnk auth login with your preferred method

"LinkedIn requires verification"

LinkedIn may block logins from unknown devices. Try:

  • Logging in via browser first
  • Using cookie-based auth (--li-at)
  • Waiting a few hours before retrying
"Rate limited"

Slow down requests. Wait 5-10 minutes before trying again.

"No cookies found" (browser auth)
  • Make sure browser is closed
  • Grant Full Disk Access to terminal (macOS)
  • Try a different browser or auth method
