HELP! 0 Employees identified

[grit65]

Regardless of the domain, I do not get any results on a scan. I have tried generating a second API key to see if it would address, to no avail.

python InSpy.py COMPANYNAME --domain company.com --email first.last

Regardless of company and domain I receive response "0 Employees identified"

Hi, I met the same problem with you.
I found the reason is the request is blocked by Linkedin.
in http.py line 19:

        r = requests.get(url, timeout=3, headers=random_header())

	if r.status_code == 200:
		if "linkedin.com" in url:
			return {"status": r.status_code, "response": r.text}
		else:
			return {"status": r.status_code, "response": r.json()}
	else: 
		return {"status": r.status_code, "response": ""}

I got the response status "999"

So, in workbench.py line 55, search_linkedin, the response is : {'response': '', 'status': 999}

also I found someone else met the same problem:

But I still don't know how to fix it.
Can anyone help on this ? thanks a lot.

I was working on this for the last couple of months in my fork of this project. I found that to scrape or to view the LinkedIn pages one must login to their accounts or use LinkedIn API. If you try to scrape directly without login into your LinkedIn account it throws a register/login page to you resulting in HTTP error - 999. Looking into all possible solutions without adding an API or login
