Get LinkedIn connections
TL;DR
About
The run opens the Connections page under My Network in the signed-in browser and scrolls the list until no new cards appear for about 6 seconds, or until your count is reached. It returns whatever is in the page at that point, so a slow lazy load can end the run with a partial list and no error. Compare connections.length with total to spot a gap, and run again if it matters. Key your spreadsheet on memberUrn rather than publicId, because people rename their vanity URL and the URN stays put. connectedOnText is LinkedIn's own line in your display language, so parse it yourself before sorting by date. There is no email, location or separate company field, and the headline is whatever each person typed. Large networks take a while, since every card must load on a single scrolling page before anything comes back.
Input
count optionalHow many connections to return, newest first. Default 100. LinkedIn loads 10 per step, so a large count on a large network takes long and counts against the account: ask for all of them only when you need them.
Default: 100Output
total requiredThe connection count LinkedIn shows above the list.
complete requiredTrue when connections holds every connection (total reached). False when count stopped the list first.
connections requiredNewest first, as LinkedIn sorts them by default.

}FAQ
Search LinkedIn people
Search LinkedIn people by keywords with optional title, name, company, school, currentCompanyIds/pastCompanyIds (numeric ids from get_company_info), connectionDegrees, connectionOf, geoUrn, and a page number (10 people per page). Returns page, total, hasNextPage and people (name, url, publicId, memberUrn, degree, headline, location, snippet, followers, the mutual-connections line, and the members in common as data: up to two named mutuals with their profile, and mutualCount). Members in common: each 2nd-degree card names up to two of the people who connect you, and mutualCount says how many there are. To list them all, pass the card's memberUrn as connectionOf. Works alone or with any other filter. Empty results: people is [] and total is 0 only when LinkedIn shows its empty state. When LinkedIn shows another page instead of results (the monthly search limit of a free account, a security check), the run fails and names what the page showed. Location: this script takes LinkedIn geo ids only. To search a place, call suggest_locations with the place name first, then pass the geoUrn of the suggestion you want.
Get LinkedIn profile
Get one LinkedIn profile by its public id or profile URL: name, headline, location and its geo id, current company, About text, photo, connection degree, follower count, the stable member id, and the full lists of experience, education, languages, certifications and honors, in the order the profile shows them, with LinkedIn's ids for companies and schools and dates as month and year. Reading a profile does not record a profile view; for that reason the connection count, which only the profile page shows, is null. A role's location is the text the member saved, which can be translated or misspelled. Skills are in linkedin.com/get_profile_skills and contact details in linkedin.com/get_profile_contact_info. A field is null and a list is empty when the profile does not show it. Fails with a clear message when the browser is not signed in to LinkedIn, when the profile does not exist, or when LinkedIn limits the account.
Get LinkedIn profile experience
Get the full experience list from a LinkedIn profile's dedicated experience page by publicId, with grouped companies expanded to one entry per role. Returns positions (title, company, companyUrl, employmentType, dateRange, duration, location, description).
