The goal of this project is to simply look at different people’s linkedin accounts.

Currently using ruby 2.3.3.

I have only ran this on OSX and Linux (Ubuntu). I do not have a Windows environment.

Let’s get it rolling.

A simple bundle install will do:

bundle install

These are where my secrets are stored. You probably don’t want that.

rm config/secrets.yml.enc
rails secrets:setup
rails secrets:edit

Add this (with your own credentials) to your secrets file:

shared:
  email: [email protected]
  password: password1234

Don’t need to use rake for db:create anymore! It’s the 2000’s.

rails db:create
rails db:migrate

You will need to add some search terms. I added some basic terms and if you are super lazy, feel free to copy.

If you want to add your own, edit db/seeds.rb. When you are done, run this:

rails db:seed

We have reached the point where the magic happens:

rails linked_out:random_search

If you want to search by a specific SearchTerm, you can run:

rails linked_out:search SEARCH_TERM="tom"

I didn’t write any tests. I’m normally better than this.

Still need to figure this out!

• Can only view 200 profiles per day. We should go significantly less to start out.
• We only want to view a profile once every four months.
• We want to dynamically be able to add new search terms for a user.

To not look super sketch, I will want to do some random mouse movements between a lot of actions.
