LinkedInViewBot

This is a small LinkedIn crawler based on Selenium and BeautifulSoup4. It's goal is to collect LinkedIn profil links on each page it visits. // It will also create a spreadsheet with collected links, with relevant jobs and email if indicated

To get started, make sure you have pip and Firefox installed on your machine:

# First clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/RyanOM/LinkedInViewBot.git

# Go to the directory:
cd LinkedInViewBot

# Create a virtual environment and activate it
virtualenv mylinkedinbot
source mylinkedinbot/bin/activate

# Install the requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Finally done? Get the bot running with
python main.py

# You will then be asked to input your email followed by your password

To stop the bot, simply close the Firefox window or CTRL+C in your terminal.
