Collect user profiles and connections data within the API's rate limits and permissions.
Organize and structure the collected data to prepare it for network analysis.
Choose a network analysis library such as NetworkX, SNAP, Gephi, NodeXL, or graph-tool to visualize the data as a graph.
Ensure that the data is in an appropriate format for your chosen graph analysis software (e.g., adjacency matrix, adjacency list, edge list).
Utilize your chosen graph analysis software to create a visualization of the LinkedIn social network.
Calculate relevant network measures, such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, PageRank, diameter, closeness, and betweenness, using functions available in your chosen graph analysis software.
