Not really - the wiki page is confusing but the link is there: "In a November 2022 ruling the Ninth Circuit ruled that hiQ had breached LinkedIn's User Agreement and a settlement agreement was reached between the two parties." [0]
It was a mixed ruling: hiQ successfully defended against the CFAA argument, and LI won the User Agreement argument.
This is why OP needs to talk to a lawyer of their own who deeply understands this area of law. We all can paste links till the cows come home but only a real lawyer is going to have useful advice.

- tptacek 4y agoThis is another way of saying that LinkedIn won the case; hiQ needed to win both of these legs of the case, and LinkedIn only needed to win one.
