Busted Hacking my own LinkedIn profile

Creating bots is a passion of mine. I've created bots for finding discounts, nft trading, online tetris, geolocated bus schedules to name a few. This time i wanted to see how many LinkedIn profiles i could visit in one single night. And then what would happen the next day with all those profiles getting notifications regarding my visit. Even though my bot was only visiting one profile every 5 seconds or so (not very aggressive for a bot) I had trouble sneaking under the radar.

I build the bot using the Javascript platform Node.js with a framework called Puppeteer built for remote controlling a Chrome browser. The bot would jump from profile page to profile page storing all found profile page links in a queue and keeping track of visited profile pages to prevent duplicate visits.
