pptr-scraping's Introduction

Puppeteer-Scraper

This is a micro project meant to test and gradually learn about Puppeteer and web-scraping using JavaScript.

Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.

The project is supposed to do the following:

  1. Logs into a LinkedIn account according to the credentials provided as specified environment variables.

  2. Loads the feed and searches for the people with a provided keyword.

  3. Sends connection request to the listed profiles matching the keyword(s).

To run the code

Install npm packages:
npm install
Create a .env file.
touch .env
Run using the node.
node app.js

A chrome browser will pop up showing the browser and the automated processes. You can switch it to run in the headless mode changing the headless option to true as shown:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true });
