Ensure you have the necessary permissions and understand the implications of accessing your cookies.
To find your LinkedIn (li_at) cookie, you need to access your browser's developer tools while logged into LinkedIn. Then, navigate to the Application tab (or Storage tab in Firefox), locate the Cookies section, select the LinkedIn domain (www.linkedin.com), and find the li_at cookie. Copy its value to use for LinkedIn automation or other purposes.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Log in to LinkedIn: Open your web browser and log in to your LinkedIn account.
- Open Developer Tools: Access the browser's developer tools. The method varies by browser:
- Chrome/Edge: Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on Mac).
- Firefox: Right-click on the page and select "Inspect Element" or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on Mac).
- Navigate to Application/Storage:
- Chrome/Edge: Select the "Application" tab.
- Firefox: Select the "Storage" tab.
- Find Cookies: In the left sidebar, expand the "Cookies" section.
- Select LinkedIn Domain: Click on the "www.linkedin.com" entry.
- Locate li_at: Find the cookie with the name "li_at".
- Copy the Value: Copy the value of the li_at cookie. You can do this by right-clicking and selecting "Copy" or by manually selecting and copying the text.
Important Notes:
- The li_at cookie is a session cookie, meaning it's tied to your current login session and will expire when you log out or after a period of inactivity.
