This is brilliant! Love how you turned a frustrating everyday struggle into a clean, automated solution. The storytelling makes it super relatable (we’ve all been Ayush at some point 😅). Also appreciate the breakdown of Bright Data’s role, so many people underestimate the scraping battle. Congrats on actually shipping something that saves hours of pain and delivers real value. 🚀👏

Thanks Florence! You’re right about the scraping battle - might just automate this for more job platforms since apparently manual job hunting is still a thing in 2025 😃

Hey, this is good. Watching your video, have you used the brightdata verified node? I see you used http node to call the bright data endpoints

Yeah I had the same doubt @astha_jhawar_f1891a37e168 please change the http node to official bright data verified node since the challenge specifically mentioned this .

Please don't do that, LinkedIn detects crawlers and scapers and your account can get it's visibility limited or terminated form LinkedIn. I know a similar OSS project's creator and users were both banned from LinkedIn.
