Questions
How do I download my LinkedIn data?
On linkedin.com, open Settings, Data privacy, then Get a copy of your data. Pick the whole archive or the parts you want, and LinkedIn emails you once the ZIP is ready to download.
Why don’t my connections have email addresses?
LinkedIn only puts in the addresses of connections who let their connections download them, as the notes at the top of Connections.csv say.
Why are my posts and comments missing?
They come in the Complete export, which takes up to a day. The first ZIP, sent within minutes, holds the profile, connections and messages.
Can I open one CSV on its own?
Yes. Each opens in the table viewer, where you can sort, filter and search it. Open the whole ZIP to see them together.
