LinkedIn Feed Watcher

Local Playwright CLI that opens your own LinkedIn feed, scrolls posts, extracts post text + URL, and sends each post to your webhook.

Typical flow:

LinkedIn feed -> webhook -> n8n -> AI fit check -> Google Sheet / Telegram

Important

• runs locally on your machine
• uses your own browser session
• you log into LinkedIn yourself
• no LinkedIn password goes into config
• not a cloud service, extension, or phishing flow

What gets sent

The scraper sends only post data:

• post text
• post URL
• author
• published label

Your portfolio / skills / "knowledge" are not sent by the scraper.

Put that in the n8n template node:

• Set portfolio + skills knowledge

Template file:

• Linkedin posts parsing for fit check, append fits to sheet.json

Setup

1. Install deps

npm install
PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=0 npx playwright install chromium

2. Create local config

• copy config/app.example.json -> config/app.json
• add your own webhook URLs

3. Import the n8n template

• set your webhook path
• fill Set portfolio + skills knowledge
• connect OpenAI / Google Sheets / Telegram credentials

4. Log into LinkedIn

npm run login

That opens a local persistent browser. Log in manually.

Commands

npm run help
npm run login
npm run inspect-feed
npm run scan
npm run scan:test
npm run scan:prod

Config

Public example:

• config/app.example.json

Local runtime config:

• config/app.json (gitignored)

Common knobs:

• scan.sendAllVisiblePosts
• filters.containsAny
• delivery.target
• delivery.mode

Notes

• npm run inspect-feed shows what the parser sees before you send real traffic
• exact post permalinks are not always available; sometimes LinkedIn only exposes profile/company fallback URLs
• this is feed-based, not full-profile crawling
