This project is not authorized, endorsed, or otherwise affiliated with LinkedIn Corporation.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.6+\n- `requests` library\n\n## Setup\n\n```bash\ngit clone git@github.com:cfinke/EpsteOut.git\ncd EpsteOut/\npython3 -m venv project_venv\nsource project_venv/bin/activate\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n## Getting Your LinkedIn Contacts\n\n1. Go to [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com) and log in.\n2. Click your profile icon in the top right.\n3. Select **Settings \u0026 Privacy**.\n4. Click **Data privacy** in the left sidebar.\n5. Under \"How LinkedIn uses your data\", click **Get a copy of your data**.\n6. Select **Connections** (or click \"Want something in particular?\" and check Connections). If **Connections** isn't listed as an option, choose the **Download larger data archive** option.\n7. Click **Request archive**.\n8. Wait for LinkedIn's email; it may take up to 24 hours.\n9. Download and extract the ZIP file.\n10. Locate the `Connections.csv` file.\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\npython EpsteOut.py --connections /path/to/Connections.csv\n```\n\nThe API that EpsteOut connects to has recently required an API key to access it. Keys are available for free at https://epstein.dugganusa.com/register.html\n\n### Options\n\n| Flag | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| `--connections`, `-c` | Path to LinkedIn Connections.csv export (required) |\n| `--output`, `-o` | Output HTML file path (default: `EpsteOut.html`) |\n\n### Examples\n\nBasic usage:\n```bash\npython EpsteOut.py --connections ~/Downloads/Connections.csv\n```\n\nCustom output file:\n```bash\npython EpsteOut.py --connections ~/Downloads/Connections.csv --output my_report.html\n```\n\n## Reading the Output\n\nThe script generates an HTML report (`EpsteOut.html` by default) that you can open in any web browser.\n\n![A screenshot of the HTML report.](assets/screenshot.png)\n\nThe report contains:\n\n- **Summary**: Total contacts searched and how many had mentions\n- **Contact cards**: Each contact with mentions is displayed as a card showing:\n  - Name, position, and company\n  - Total number of mentions across all documents\n  - Excerpts from each matching document\n  - Links to the source PDFs on justice.gov\n\nContacts are sorted by number of mentions (highest first).\n\n## Notes\n\n- The search uses exact phrase matching on full names, so \"John Smith\" won't match documents that only contain \"John\" or \"Smith\" separately.\n- Common names may produce false positives; review the context excerpts to verify relevance.\n- Epstein files indexed by [DugganUSA.com](https://dugganusa.com)\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcfinke%2FEpsteOut","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcfinke%2FEpsteOut","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcfinke%2FEpsteOut/lists"}
