Linkedin auth

linkedin auth

Borrow a LinkedIn browser session (cookie auth)

Synopsis

Store the LinkedIn session cookies (li_at + JSESSIONID) for the active profile in your OS keyring (encrypted-file fallback on headless hosts, keyed by $LINKEDIN_KEYRING_PASSWORD).

The primary path borrows a live browser session — log in to linkedin.com in Chrome/Brave/ Firefox, then: linkedin auth --cookie-from-browser chrome

For headless use, pass the cookies directly (or via env LI_AT / JSESSIONID): linkedin auth --li-at "AQED..." --jsessionid '"ajax:1234567890"'

Sub-commands: status (whoami), logout.
