Intent

Search people on LinkedIn, ONE or MANY searches with AUTO-PAGINATION. Single PARAM: queries = array of objects { keywords, title, company, firstName, lastName, geoUrn, network, page, pages }. page REQUIRED per query; pages optional (how many pages from page, default 1, max 100). FIXED internal RATE-LIMIT (NOT configurable): pool of 20 fetches + ~150ms jittered before each one. 20 is the measured clean ceiling (20 pages at once = 200/200 results); above that LinkedIn silently returns truncated/empty pages (no 429). Total cap 100 fetches per call (reports skipped). Filters: keywords; title/company/firstName/lastName = exact free text (the URL adds quotes); geoUrn = bare ID or bracketed (linkedin-geo-typeahead); network = bare degrees ('S','F,S') or bracketed. ~10 per page; paginates up to ~page 100+. Returns { count, skipped?, results:[{ query, pagesFetched, count, results:[profiles] }] }; profile { name, degree, slug, profileUrl, headline, location }. Requires a session. Regex parser over SSR HTML; if the markup changes, recapture.

Preconditions

• Logged-in session in the browser you drive (Logged-in LinkedIn session (www.linkedin.com cookies)).
• If not logged in: navigate to https://linkedin.com and let the user log in, then retry.

Execute

1. navigate → https://www.linkedin.com/feed/
2. evaluate the Extractor below with params. It does the in-page work and returns the JSON in returns.
