+## API
+Overall, to a Person object can be created with the following inputs:
+
+```python
+Person( linkedin_url=None, experiences = [], educations = [], driver = None)
+```
+#### `linkedin_url`
+This is the linkedin url of their profile
+
+#### `experiences`
+This is the past experiences they have. A list of `linkedin_user_scraper.scraper.Experience`
+
+#### `educations`
+This is the past educations they have. A list of `linkedin_user_scraper.scraper.Education`
+
+#### `driver`
+This is the driver from which to scraper the Linkedin profile. A driver using Chrome is created by default. However, if a driver is passed in, that will be used instead.
+
+For example
+```python
+driver = webdriver.Chrome()
+person = Person("https://www.linkedin.com/in/andre-iguodala-65b48ab5", driver = driver)
+```
