Description
LinkedIn vanity URL validation
Category: social
Goal: Check availability of LinkedIn public profile URLs (vanity names).
Notes:
- LinkedIn usernames typically appear in URLs like
https://www.linkedin.com/in/{username}/. - LinkedIn may return 999/redirects or require careful handling of headers.
Implementation suggestions:
- Investigate the behavior of
https://www.linkedin.com/in/{username}/for existing vs non-existing users. - If a clean 404 is not available, use
generic_validate()and look for strong indicators inresponse.text.
Implementation notes:
- Add
social/linkedin.pywithvalidate_linkedin(username: str). - Document any rate limit / bot-detection quirks in comments.
