This LinkedIn Automation Bot allows you to interact with posts and create your own posts on LinkedIn, using Google Gemini AI to generate insightful comments and posts. It's built using Python, Selenium, and other powerful libraries to automate liking, commenting, and posting on LinkedIn.

Features

• Auto-Liking: Automatically likes posts based on content analysis.
• Auto-Posting: Publishes posts directly on LinkedIn, leveraging AI to create engaging and tailored posts.
• Content Filtering: Removes markdown and formats comments for a seamless look.

Tech Stack

• Python OOP: The bot is built with Object-Oriented Programming principles for modularity and maintainability.
• Selenium WebDriver: Automates browser interactions with LinkedIn's web interface.
• Google Gemini API: Provides AI-generated comments and posts using the Gemini language model.
• BeautifulSoup: Extracts and processes LinkedIn post content.
• Logging: Logs every step and handles errors gracefully.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or later
• Google Gemini API key
• Selenium WebDriver and ChromeDriver

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/joeygoesgrey/linkedln-bot.git
   cd linkedin-bot

2. Create a Pipenv Environment and Install Dependencies:

   pipenv install

3. Activate the Pipenv Shell:

   pipenv shell

4. Set Up Environment Variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory with your LinkedIn credentials and Google Gemini API key:

   LINKEDLN_USERNAME=your_linkedln_username
   LINKEDLN_PASSWORD=your_linkedln_password
   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key

5. Download ChromeDriver: ChromeDriver is required for Selenium to interact with the Chrome browser. With webdriver-manager included in the dependencies, no separate download is needed.

   python browser.py

2. Available Methods:

   • fetch_and_store_content(): Fetches and stores LinkedIn post data.
