We have turned the tool back on. You can read more in our new post here.
LinkedIn is a members-first company and we believe that the data you enter into LinkedIn is yours and you should be able to access it. We’ve had a bunch of questions on a change we made earlier this week regarding access to your account data and wanted to clarify a few things.
To be clear, our members can continue to export the same information from LinkedIn, including their first degree connections. We've historically had two ways for members to export portions of their data on LinkedIn. To simplify this experience we've combined them into one single process, and we include more of your activity in the export. This change is also part of a larger and ongoing effort by LinkedIn to make the scraping of member data by third parties more difficult. Scraping is against our Terms Of Service and potentially detrimental to the members whose data is being scraped.
Our members can continue to easily request an export of their LinkedIn activity and data by visiting our help center and following these instructions. This export is accessible through their Privacy & Settings page and is available as a download, typically within 24 hours although sometimes it takes longer.
Or you can take the following steps:
Move your cursor over your profile photo at the top right of your homepage and select "Privacy & Settings." You may be prompted to sign in.
Click the "Account" tab in the bottom left.
Click "Request an archive of your data" under the Helpful Links section.
- Click the "Request Archive" button on the right.
