Automate LinkedIn Connections using Python

In today’s world, LinkedIn connections are a very important part of an IT professional life. Users have to send connection requests to many other connections that can be useful, but sometimes sending requests one by one can be a time-consuming and hectic task. Wouldn’t it be better to have an automation system that can do all this work for us?

In this tutorial, we will learn how to generate an automation system for accepting the connection requests of LinkedIn using Python.

Modules required:

Selenium: The Selenium does not come as an inbuilt module with Python. For installing the selenium module, we can use the following command:
!pip3 install selenium
Pyautogui: same as selenium, it also does not come as an inbuilt module in Python, and for installing this module, we can use the following command:
!pip3 install pyautogui
Chrome web driver: we can download chrome web driver from

Before implementing it, we should import all the modules first.

  from selenium import webdriver as wd  from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys as ky  import pyautogui as pyt  

Now, let’s write the main function-

  def main():      # url of LinkedIn,com      url_1 = “http://linkedin.com/”        # url of network page of linkedin.com       network_url1 = “http:/linkedin.com/my_network/”       # path for browser web driver      driver_1 = wd.Chrome(‘C:Program FilesWeb Driverchromedriver.exe”)      driver_1.get(url_1)    # Drivers code  if __name__ == __main__:      main()  

Now, we have to go to the authentication page, and then we have to log in.

Code:

  def login_1():      # First, we will get the login element      username_1 = driver.find_element_by_id(“login-email”)        # then, we will send the keys for username_1           username_1.send_keys(“username”)             # now, send the password element in it                                  password_1 = driver.find_element_by_id(“login-password”)       # then, send the keys for password_1         password_1.send_keys(“password”)                     # then, get the tag for submit button                 driver.find_element_by_id(“login-submit”).click()  

The find_elemet_by_id is used for finding the HTML tag saying”login-email” and “login-password” then, we will send the keys to them.

Now, we will set the network section:

Code:

  def go_to_network():      driver.find_element_by_id(“my_network-tab-icon”).click()  

Now, we know that LinkedIn will try to prevent the scraping. Therefore it would be difficult for us to find the connection button. We can use a technique like Xpath.

Code:

  def send_requests_1():      # the Nnumber of requests we want to send      n_1 = input(“The number of connection requests: “)           for k in range(0, n_1):          # position(in px) of connection button will be different for different user          pyt.click(810, 670)        print(“Request send!”)  

This is how we can send the automated connection request in Linkedin using a web driver in Python.

The full implementation of code:

  from selenium import webdriver as wd  from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys as ky  import pyautogui as pyt  def login_1():      # First, we will get the login element      username_1 = driver.find_element_by_id(“login-email”)        # then, we will send the keys for username_1           username_1.send_keys(“username”)             # now, send the password element in it                                  password_1 = driver.find_element_by_id(“login-password”)       # then, send the keys for password_1         password_1.send_keys(“password”)                     # then, get the tag for submit button                 driver.find_element_by_id(“login-submit”).click()  def go_to_network():      driver.find_element_by_id(“my_network-tab-icon”).click()  def send_requests_1():      # the Nnumber of requests we want to send      n_1 = input(“The number of connection requests: “)           for k in range(0, n_1):          # position(in px) of connection button will be different for different user          pyt.click(810, 670)        print(“All request are sent!”)  def main():      # url of LinkedIn,com      url_1 = “http://linkedin.com/”        # url of network page of linkedin.com       network_url1 = “http:/linkedin.com/my_network/”       # path for browser web driver      driver_1 = wd.Chrome(‘C:Program FilesWeb Driverchromedriver.exe”)      driver_1.get(url_1)    # Drivers code  if __name__ == __main__:      main()  

Output:

The number of connection requests: 12  All requests are sent!
