  "summary": "This article discusses a method for scraping LinkedIn job listings without the need for a LinkedIn account, login, or API key. The author shares their experience using a Python script to pull founding engineer job postings in the US from the last 24 hours, which took only 10 seconds and cost about 1.5 cents. The author also highlights that half of these listings were not from startups, but rather from recruiting agencies, which is an important distinction for job hunters, job board builders, and those seeking companies hiring. The author explains the process of setting up the search using a JSON input, running it from Python, and obtaining the results. They mention the need for a free Apify account, the free plan's $5 credit, the API token, and Python 3 with the requests library. The author emphasizes that this method requires no interaction with LinkedIn and no risk of account bans or cookie refreshes.",
