Answer 1

Problem is not BeautifulSoup but server which needs more information in requests to give you access to this page. Now it sends JavaScript code which redirects you to login page.

You need User-Agent header to get this page.

You can use http://httpbin.org/get to see User-Agent in your browser.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}

url = "https://linkedin.com/company/1005"

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(r.text)

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')
print(soup.prettify())
