Goal - Scrape a persons public LinkedIn page
Step 1 - Identify data points to scrape
- url
- name
- about
- headline
- location
- experience
- education
- skills
- volunteering
- publications
- recommendations
- amount of followers
- awards
- certifications
- languages
- people also viewed
Step 2 - Analyze the HTML
Before we start writing our Node object which will capture the entire data of a persons LinkedIn profile,
we need to understand the structure of the HTML, specifically
the nature of the html tags that contain the different data points we want to scrape.
In the other 3 examples (Blog Site, News Site, E-Commerce Site) we were scraping a list of the same items
(a list of blog posts, a list of article preview, a list of products). In these examples we just needed to identify what these tags
had in common and we would be able to scrape all of them.
The LinkedIn profile page is different. We have many more data points to scrape here,
and they do not share a common tag setup. Producing a Node object that is able to capture all the data points
we are interested in is therefor likely to be a lot larger then the ones we produced for the other examples.
Step 3 - Create a dataclass per data point
The dataclass PersonProfile at the very bottom is our master-class. It contains all other dataclasses that reflect a data-point each.
