LinkedInBot was developed under Pyhton 2.7.
Note: Python 2.7.9 and later (on the python2 series), and Python 3.4 and later include pip by default, so you may have pip already. Otherwise, you can install easy_install sudo apt-get install python-setuptools to install pip sudo easy_install pip.
- Selenium, for browser automation:
pip install Selenium
For Chrome, first get the webdriver then put it in the same folder than the bot if you are on Windows, or in the /usr/bin folder if you are on OS X.
When main.py will is executed, certain inputs are asked from the user:
- Email: Users need to enter the valid Email Address to the input field. [INPUT TYPE: String (words)]
- Password: Users need to enter the valid password corresponding to the Email address entered in the input field. [INPUT TYPE: String (words)]
- No Connect: Users need to specify How many connect request program need to send. [INPUT TYPE: INTEGER (Number)]
- Keyword: Users need to enter the type of people bot need to connect on Linkedin. Like "Web developer", "Marketing", "HR". [INPUT TYPE: String (words)]
You can hard code the variable value in the program to avoid entering multiple times when you run the program and to do so Before you run the bot, replace the configuration portion of the script. This will include your account login information (email, password, etc.) and other logical values to make the bot more of your own. It's that simple!
# Configurable Constants
#--------------------------
self.username= input("Enter Username/Email:") #line 14
#Replace With
self.username= 'YOUR EMAIL/USERNAME FOR LINKEDIN ACCOUNT'
#--------------------------
self.password= input("Enter Password:") #line 15
#Replace With
self.password= 'YOUR PASSWORD FOR LINKEDIN ACCOUNT'
#--------------------------
self.no_of_connect= input("Enter no_of_connect:") #line 16
#Replace With
self.no_of_connect= 'THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU WANT TO CONNECT WITH'
#--------------------------
self.keyword = input("Enter Keyword/Text:") #line 17
#Replace With
self.keyword = 'KEYWORD THAT BOT WILL TARGET'
#--------------------------Make sure you are in the correct folder and run the following command: python main.py
