Seems it can't bypass the CAPTCHAS

You would either create that yourself or you need to use rotating proxies. Brightdata is a good one, I rarely hit any captcha.

hello @Nijneleven , I recently create an account in brightdata and now I got this error

raise ProxyError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.linkedin.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /uas/authenticate (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden')))

here my proxies

proxies = {
'http': 'http://heremyusername1:[email protected]:22225',
'https': 'https://heremyusername1:[email protected]:22225'
}

raise ProxyError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.linkedin.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /uas/authenticate (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden')))

the curious point is that I use "requests" directly setting the proxies and works!

Try this:

proxies = {
'https': 'http://heremyusername1:[email protected]:22225/'
'http': 'http://heremyusername1:[email protected]:22225/',
}

I always use http for the https setup. Most proxies only allow http
