Script is no longer working, tried it out and all instructions were duly followed suit but the folder for supposed scrap list is empty. Any tips on how to get it working would be great.

Thanks

I'll check it out. The issue is this is a scraper, so if linkedin updates their page and changes the class of an element used in the script it will stop working. You can check out the source code and verify if any class has changed on linkedin
