Hi guys.

We wrote a LinkedIn scrapper using Selenium. The script works fine when we run it on our home PC machine along with proxy IPs. However, when we run the same script on a remote server (again using same proxy IPs) LinkedIn instantly redirect us to login (i.e. block us)

Do you have any ideas what LinkedIn might be detecting that is different on the server VS our the home PC? We run the exactly same configuration, same proxies, same OS (linux), same user behavior, etc.

Would really appreciate if you have any tips? Happy to pay for a consultation if you have experience in LinkedIn Scrapping
 
Hard to tell. LinkedIn sometimes works and some times don't for me. I haven't had any problems with Selenium + PhantomJS though. Cefsharp does however.
 
Could be the headers you are passing, could be the fact that you are not using a proxy properly or your proxy is leaking your IP address. Could be a million things, if you want I am happy to look at your code for an hourly rate.
