# LinkedIn-Connection-Request_Bot
## Description
This Python script automates the process of sending connection requests on LinkedIn. It navigates through a list of LinkedIn profile URLs, extracted from a CSV file, and attempts to send connection requests to each profile. Utilizing the `selenium` package, the script automates browser interactions to log into LinkedIn, navigate to each profile, and send a connection request if possible.
## Features
- Automated login to LinkedIn.
- Navigation through a list of profile URLs from a CSV file.
- Automated sending of connection requests.
- Handling of various scenarios where the connection request button may be located differently.
## Prerequisites
Before you can run this script, you will need:
- Python 3.x installed on your system.
- `pandas` and `selenium` Python packages installed.
- Firefox Web Browser.
- GeckoDriver (Firefox WebDriver) installed and correctly placed in your PATH or specified in the script.
## Installation
1. **Clone this repository** or download the script file to your local machine.
2. **Install the required Python packages** using the `requirements.txt` file included in the repository. Run the following command in your terminal:
```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. **Download GeckoDriver**: Ensure you have GeckoDriver, which is required for Firefox browser automation. Download it from [Mozilla's GitHub](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) page. Select the version compatible with your operating system and Firefox version. After downloading, extract the executable to a known location on your machine.
4. **Configure the Script**: Before running the script, make sure to adjust the path to GeckoDriver and your LinkedIn credentials within the script. Find the following lines and update them accordingly:
```python
service = Service('path/to/your/geckodriver.exe') # Replace with your GeckoDriver path
...
username.send_keys("your_email_here") # Replace with your LinkedIn login email
password.send_keys("your_password_here") # Replace with your LinkedIn password```
5. **Prepare the LinkedIn database CSV file**: Ensure you have a linkedin_database.csv file with
profile URLs in the expected format. The script reads URLs from the third column (index 2) of each row.
## Usage
To run the script, refer commands.txt file.
