Browser Selectors

Key LinkedIn selectors (as of 2026):

Post button:    button[aria-label="Start a post"]
Post editor:    div.ql-editor[data-placeholder]
Submit post:    button.share-actions__primary-action
Like button:    button[aria-label*="Like"]
Comment button: button[aria-label*="Comment"]
Profile stats:  section.pv-top-card-v2-ctas

Rate Limits

LinkedIn enforces activity limits. Stay under:

• Posts: 2–3 per day max
• Comments: 20–30 per day
• Connection requests: 100 per week
• Profile views: Natural browsing pace only

Troubleshooting

• Login required: Ensure browser profile has an active LinkedIn session
• Rate limited: Reduce activity, wait 24h before resuming
• Selector not found: LinkedIn may have updated UI — check and update selectors
• Post blocked: Review LinkedIn content policies; avoid spam-like patterns
