Profile Export

Export any LinkedIn profile to JSON with a single click. Works from profile pages or search results. Get clean, structured data including name, title, company, location, skills, education, and more.

Search & Export CSV

Search LinkedIn by keywords and export results to CSV. Paginated fetching with human-paced delays. Export 25 or 500 profiles -- your choice.

Mass Unfollow

Unfollow everyone on your following list in one click. Uses DOM-based clicking with randomized delays to mimic human behavior. Includes pagination support for large lists.

Campaign Manager

• View Profile -- warm up before connecting
• Send Invite -- with optional personalized note
• Send Message -- to existing connections

• Human-paced random delays between all actions (8-15 seconds default)
• Hourly and daily rate caps
• Business hours enforcement
• Automatic backoff when LinkedIn returns rate limit responses
• Security challenge detection with automatic pause

Recommendations:

• Start with conservative settings
• Don't run multiple automation tools simultaneously
• Keep daily invite count under 25
• Don't automate on a brand-new or low-activity account
• Monitor your account for restriction notices

How It Works

Voyager API

LinkedIn's web app communicates with its backend via the Voyager API (/voyager/api/). This extension makes the same requests your browser would, using your existing session cookies (JSESSIONID) for authentication. No external APIs, no proxies, no third-party servers.

DOM Automation

Some features (like Mass Unfollow) use DOM-based automation -- the extension finds buttons on the page and clicks them using dispatchEvent, simulating real user interactions in the MAIN world context.

Architecture

• Service Worker (src/background/) -- handles all API calls, campaign scheduling, rate limiting
• Content Scripts (src/content/) -- inject UI overlays on LinkedIn pages
• Popup (src/popup/) -- main control panel
• Options (src/options/) -- full settings page

All data is stored in chrome.storage.local -- nothing leaves your browser.
