Hey, I downloaded the repo, created a virtual env, installed the requirement, and then run this simple script:

from linkedin_scraper import JobSearch, actions
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

email = "user@gmail.com"
password = "strongpassword"
actions.login(driver, email, password) 
# if email and password isnt given, it'll prompt in terminal

input("Press Enter")
job_search = JobSearch(driver=driver, close_on_complete=False, scrape=True)

job_listings = job_search.search("Machine Learning Engineer") 

print(job_listings[1])

# Don't forget to close the driver when done
driver.quit()

It logins, but then i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
