Hey guys,
Actually few weeks ago I built my portfolio but the thing is I want to display all my featured post. So Now, I decided to make an API of my own that uses bs4 to scrape my featured post from my profile. Do anyone wants to help?

Sup! i would love to help you man
Okay bro I just started to work on it, You can visit the repo fork it and see if you can make it work then we can deploy this thing on vercel. It will help others a lot. #brocode
can you tell me a bit about the API that you are buildling
Yeah bro , actually what I was doing is that , I made my portfolio : vishme.vercel.app and then I wanted to add a component to it to fetch and display my recent post of LinkedIn. Firstly I tried with javascript and get failed after thinking I decided to make a script with Beautifulsoup python which fetches my LinkedIn and then return the fetch data as json and deploy this script as an API so everyone can use it.
hmm i see this is cool if we use JavaScript with Python we can do that we make make selenium go in LinkedIn than make javascript grab all the post than covert those post into python list and than json
Yeah it will be nice but I think python is enough for web scraping and after that we can use javascript in frontend to fetch that api
sounds like a plan
You'll always find me with a plan ( there is a reason why batman and I never appear at same time) 🦇

what if we turn the linkedin api into this and others can use it on there github
yeah it will be more userfriendly
ok tell me about the frontend what you gonna do with it
Once I complete this api , then I will send a request to endpoint and map the retrieved data in a component. Just like this :
and done, ( Now I don't have to update my portfolio content every time )
bruh your discord link is not working here is my username try to find me
_m.m.w_cool now tell me what i have to do? just watch you code?
yeah First thing we have to find a way to communicate. Then we have to find a way to scrape LinkedIn, Here I founded a repo as a reference : github.com/tomquirk/linkedin-api we can use this as a base for our project. and Do you have a discord ??? Because we can't talk in comment further
are you on discord?
yeah, here is my portfolio : vishme.vercel.app you can find my discord profile link here
