Python bot to connect and send a personalized note in LinkedIn

LinkedIn Bot to Connect and Send Personalized Note

This is a python bot made to search for people in the certain industries and connect with them inlcuding sending a personalized note.

Motivation

Job search is a long a tidious process and its often not very rewarding. So, I decided to brush up some python and make a bot to autoconnect with people in similar industries as I was interested in to make some part of the process easier by using my skills.

Frameworks

• Selenium -Framework to control web browsers
• BeautifulSoup - Library for parsing HTML documents

NOTE : You must also install the webdriver for your browser.

Installation

Using python's package manager pip to install the dependencies

pip install selenium
pip install beautifulsoup4

You can install the webdriver for Chrome browser here. Be sure to install the webdriver according to your chrome browser version. You can google and find the webdrivers for other browsers as well.

NOTE :

• If you are on Mac, you have to move the webdriver to /usr/local/bin folder (Go -> Go to Folder then paste the path) to run the code.
• If you are on PC, you can just put the webdriver's path in the line driver = webdriver.Chrome(INSERT_PATH_TO_WEBDRIVER) inside the NoteBot.py file.

How to run

Before runnning the code: Please enter the LinkedIn email, password, pages to stop at, keywords to search (be sure to include 'Hiring' if you are jobseeking), the personalized message to run the program. I have commented the parts to fill in the NoteBot.py file.
