Usage

Start Chrome on the configured macOS device. Sign in to LinkedIn manually. Run Linkout against that browser.

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" \
  --remote-debugging-port=9222 \
  --window-size=1440,900 \
  --user-data-dir="/absolute/path/to/linkout-chrome-profile"

const Linkout = require("linkout-scraper");

(async () => {
  const browser = await Linkout.tools.connectLocalChrome();
  const pages = await browser.pages();
  const page =
    pages.find((candidate) => candidate.url().includes("linkedin.com")) ||
    (await browser.newPage());

  await page.setViewport({
    width: 1440,
    height: 900,
  });
  await Linkout.tools.loadCursor(page, true);

  const actionPolicy = Linkout.tools.createActionPolicy({
    config: {
      operatingHours: { start: 9, end: 18 },
      operations: {
        connect: { enabled: true, dailyLimit: 10 },
      },
    },
  });

  await Linkout.services.connect(
    page,
    { actionPolicy },
    {
      confirm: true,
      message: "Hello.",
      url: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example/",
    }
  );
})();

Linkout keeps authentication on your device. It does not submit credentials, set LinkedIn cookies, use proxies, or accept browser fingerprint overrides.
