How can I find a different user profile using the LinkedIn API
It is not possible getting an arbitrary user informations by using LinkedIn API. The user must authenticate the application by his or her username and password.
Access LinkedIn Profile with Python
There are two legal options to download comments that do not breach LinkedIn's terms and conditions. Both require LinkedIn's permission.
Option A: Comment API
The Comment API is part of the Page Management APIs which in turn is part of the Marketing Developer Program (MDP). LinkedIn describes the application process for its marketing developer program here. It requires filling out a form specifying the use case. Then LinkedIn decides whether to grant access. These use cases will be restricted or not approved.
Option B: Web crawling and scraping LinkedIn with an exemption (whitelist)
Exemption process is described here.
I am going for option A. Let's see if they give me access. I'll up-date the post accordingly.

LinkedIn has granted the permissions for the MDP. It took about 2 weeks.
