I'm unable to interact with new Linkedin UI inside Ubot 5:

can't select any element

can't get current url using $url

can't scrape any data from page .

 

Manually clicking inside internal browser also does nothing.

 

I've tried different useragents and both chrome 49 and chrome 21 but no luck.

Also tried disable javascript/css/flash/images but it also does not help.

It looks like the internal browser just blocked.

 

Here is video with the problem recorded:

Any ideas what can fix it?

Using iPhone/Android as user agent makes a difference? Twitter and Facebook blocked ubot 4, it is a matter of time other sites do the same on ubot 5.

using mobile is not an option because they just redirect to download mobile app page

When this happens I use a browser to find the elements and then manually type them in where you would normally use an element selector. It may not be the fastest way to do things but generally it gets around the browser limitations like this.

even when I can find the element - the click does nothing - it just does not response as well as it can't get any data from the page.

I'm using exBrowser and it works great in Linkedin just like it does in many other websites. so I extremely recommend that plugin.

 

The issue I'm dealing with is messaging page when it comes to hundreds of PMs lol ! But it's not an exBrowser bug.

I know that exbrowser will work, but I'm searching solution related to internal ubot browser .

I was banging my head against Linkedin today. I could scrape and make lists of people, but when I went directly to their profile page, I couldn't scrape ANYTHING. (after changing user agents, turning things off, etc)

 

Apparently Linkedin takes exception to doing this: https://techcrunch.c...-sues-scrapers/

 

Again, it's the profile pages that they're protecting. Anyone have any success with this?
