How to enter your Li_at (With or without the chrome extension)

⬇️ Prerequisites ⬇️

Before entering your Li_at, make sure that Derrick and your browser are connected through the same email address. If not, Derrick will not function properly. If you're unsure how to do this, refer to the following article: I can't connect my Li_at

What is Li_at?

Li_at is a session cookie used to log into users' LinkedIn accounts and perform scraping actions on their behalf. Without it, Derrick cannot perform the actions that require Li_at (you will see these features in the rest of the documentation).

❓How to retrieve it?

• Directly from LinkedIn Sales Navigator (video tutorial)

  1. Open your web browser and go to the LinkedIn website.

  2. Log in to your LinkedIn account using your credentials.

  3. Once logged in, right-click anywhere on the webpage and select "Inspect" from the context menu. This will open the browser's developer tools.

     

  4. In the developer tools window, click on the "Application" tab.

     

  5. In the left sidebar of the "Application" tab, expand the "Cookies" section and click on the LinkedIn domain.

     

  6. Under the "Name" column, locate the "li_at" cookie. This contains your LinkedIn li_at.

     

  7. Copy the value of the "li_at" cookie by right-clicking and selecting "Copy value" or manually selecting and copying it.
