Scraping LinkedIn Jobs for Most In Demand Software Engineer Skills 2025 using Python

Have you wondered which programming languages are the most popular in 2025?

Introduction

The goal of this article is to scrape the most recent job postings from LinkedIn to understand which skills are the most in demand for Software Engineering and adjacent fields in 2025.

I will be scraping jobs located in Ireland, but you can use any country or city of your choice.

This should, in theory help people looking for jobs to create tailored resumes for the most common keywords but also so users can focus their efforts on languages/technologies that are actually sought after.

Also consider creating a new LinkedIn account for this project as you do not want to get your main LinkedIn account banned for any reason!

Scraper

When starting this project I tried to create my own bespoke scraping solution but found it was quite challenging and time consuming. Instead, I found this github repository that offers most of the functionality we require for this project.
