Well maybe I can get that company to backup my LinkedIn posts because it is utterly broken to download anything about my profile to make a backup.

There is an API option but endpoints from documentation just return 404. There is Data Privacy "download my data" I wanted really data like my posts, photos not crappy CSV having basic properties. In the end there is "View the rich media" but also I have to click one by one and there is no text for posts on the images - I can do that going one by one of my posts and copy pasting. It sucks despite "your data belongs to you" texts on the labels.



Back up your linkedin posts? What valuable information was ever contained in a linkedin post?


These are my posts I have personal attachment to what I wrote.

Most of what I wrote I have in my notes anyway — but still if they say it is my data and I can always download it, I really want to download it and not like that someone just puts up lies on their website like "data is yours you can always download it".


LOL, what sort of snarky and patronising response is this?

All the response was in the comment you try to ridicule.
