⚠️ Read This Before You Cry “It’s Broken”

LinkedIn is hostile to bots.

If it fails:

• 🔁 Re-run bun run login
• 📸 Check debug-screenshot.png
• 🧠 Update selectors (DOM changes often)

---

🧠 Reality Check

This is NOT:

• ❌ A mass spam bot
• ❌ A “get rich quick” tool

This IS:

• ✅ A lead source
• ✅ A data pipeline
• ✅ Step 1 of a real client system

---

📜 Scripts

"login": "bun run ./save-session.ts",
"scrape": "bun run ./scrape-linkedin.ts"

---

🔥 What You Should Build Next

If you’re serious:

• AI lead scoring
• Personalized outreach generator
• Auto DM system (carefully)

👉 That’s where money is. Not scraping.

---

⚡ Limitations (No Sugarcoating)

• LinkedIn DOM changes = things break
• No pagination (yet)
• No emails/contact extraction
• Can get blocked if abused
