How to view LinkedIn profiles without an account?

Questions
1

Does anyone know a tool/website which can be used to bypass LinkedIns login to view the profile of another person?

I don’t want to create a LinkedIn profile where I have to submit my phone number etc.

2

You can try using SMS Pool to sign up with a dummy account or even use a jmp.chat number.

But otherwise, LinkedIn does not allow you to view without an account unless the user has set their profile to be seen by anyone publicly.

Sorry, yes I mean for public accounts. Where I live most accounts are public but LinkedIn still likes to hide some information that you can only see with an account.

Not sure.. you sometimes are able to view them without issues but it’s LinkedIn and they suck as a platform.

What I’m looking for is basically a “LinkedIn version” of something like https://imginn.com/

Oh, a frontend? Yeah.. no one seems to have made one for it yet. Not sure if its even possible.

Why shouldn’t it be possible? Technically you would “only” need to create a few accounts and build a website with scraping/displaying logic to allow everyone to use those accounts.

The legal side is another aspect but most of 3rd party tools violate the TOS.

It may not be possible because LinkedIn may stop it from happening in the first place. The entire website and its content is AI slop now… if it were possible, someone would have built it already, no?

Stop what from happening in the first place? Stop a well built tool that looks and behaves like a normal browser from rendering the page?

You could even build a tool that uses a normal browser on a normal system and gets the data this way.

As long as it’s a website you can always find ways around such limitations. Otherwise tools such as NewPipe, imginn, etc wouldn’t exist. Might such tools things break and stop working? Yes of course but it’s not impossible to build them.

If nothing exists the more plausible reason is that nobody wanted to build it yet.

The scraping, is what I meant.

Possible. Honestly, if I were tech savvy enough, I would have built one already.

Sorry, I don’t have a real answer for you.
