I am trying to scrape LinkedIn website for some user profiles.

I am using selenium for browser automation.

I need all the profiles under https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=director%20supply%20chain&origin=GLOBAL_SEARCH_HEADER&page=1

But the site asks for login details.

How should i give my login details in the code?

They do have api's that you can use. Are you sure the data you need isn't in there?

There seem to be a lot of search results for exactly this. Don't know how up to date they are but here is a tutorial claiming to do just that: youtube.com/watch?v=trSxSmeXCPQ

You are going to need to find the username and password boxes and enter them in. I find this easiest to do with css element ids. Selenium has a find_element_by_id method. Check out this little selenium auto login project I made:
