Description

LinkedIn provides a very easy way to export your data from the site. The export results in a zip file of CSV files which can be opened by a variety of programs including Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, and many others.

In testing, the data export request was fulfilled in 15 hours.

Steps

1. From a desktop or laptop, log in to https://linkedin.com
2. In the top menu bar, click the "Me" profile icon, then click "Settings & Privacy"
3. In the Privacy tab, scroll down to How LinkedIn Uses Your Data
4. Next to "Getting a copy of your data" click "Change"
5. If you'd only like specific data, check those options. Otherwise, select "Download larger data archive.." then "Request Archive"
   
6. When your archive is ready, you will receive an email with a download link.
