Input or Trigger — User sets up a scraping task through a configuration file or API call. Core Logic — The scraper accesses LinkedIn group pages, collects member and post data, then processes it according to user-specified filters. Output or Action — The gathered data is saved in structured formats (CSV, JSON) and sent to the output directory. Other Functionalities — Proxies, retries, and error handling are integrated to ensure smooth operation. Safety Controls — Data collection is throttled to avoid hitting rate limits, and retries are limited to prevent overloading LinkedIn servers.
Language: Python Frameworks: Appilot, UI Automator Tools: Selenium, BeautifulSoup, Requests Infrastructure: AWS Lambda, Docker
