Python3 script to dump employee information from XING API

XingDumper

Python 3 script to dump company employees from XING API. Perfect OSINT tool ;-)

The results contain firstname, lastname, position, gender, location and a user's profile link. Only 2 API calls are required to retrieve all employees.

With the --full CLI flag an additional API request will be made for each employee to retrieve contact details such as email, fax, mobile and phone number. However, this data is most often unset by XING users.

How-To

Sign into www.xing.com and retrieve your login cookie value e.g. via developer tools
Specify your cookie value in the python script's variable LOGIN_COOKIE or via the CLI flag --cookie
Browse your company on XING and note the url
Install requirements via pip install -r requirements.txt
Run the Python script and enjoy results

Usage

usage: xingdumper.py [-h] --url 
   
     [--count 
    
     ] [--cookie 
     
      ] [--full] [--quiet]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --url 
      
          A XING company url - https://xing.com/pages/
       
         --count 
        
          Amount of employees to extract - max. 2999 --cookie 
         
           XING 'login' cookie for authentication --full Dump additional contact details (slow) - email, phone, fax, mobile --quiet Show employee results only

Examples

Dumping all Audi employees from XING API (max. 3000) into outfile using --quiet mode:

python3 xingdumper.py --url https://www.xing.com/pages/audiag --quiet > audi_employees.out

Dumping 10 Apple employees from XING API with additional contact details as terminal output:

python3 xingdumper.py --url https://www.xing.com/pages/appleretaildeutschlandgmbh --count 10 --full

Note: Contact details are most often empty. We Germans take privacy seriously! Further, the details may only be accessible if you already belong to the contact list of the crawled employee. Kinda unlikely, however the default privacy settings of XING would allow a retrival, if the data is configured and the privacy settings not changed by the user.

Results

The script will return employee data as semi-colon separated values (like CSV):
