Brief Context

Open-source tool providing ethical, low-cost LinkedIn profile extraction—converting public data to CSV for rapid prototyping while bypassing LinkedIn’s CSV and API limitations.

It leverages Bright Data’s free starting funds to deliver profile data at under 20% of a cent, making it an efficient alternative to time-consuming PDF/ZIP exports.

Acceptance Criteria

  1. Users easily extract a CSV file with publicly available data — which is not behind login.
  2. The CSV extraction should be quick and accurate.

Draft Solution

  1. When the user enters a LinkedIn URL in the textarea and clicks “Convert to CSV”, the script reads that URL.
  2. It then calls a (simulated) scraping API using fetch (replace the URL/API call as needed) to get the profile JSON.
  3. The JSON is then converted into CSV using the mapping function (which flattens multiple positions into sequential experience columns in one row).
  4. A confirmation message is shown and the “Download CSV” button is enabled.
