Automatically endorse your colleagues and boss on LinkedIn! 🙉
- This was not my idea
- I have never used this on my LinkedIn account 😏
- The code for this is very, very bad
- You might get banned if you use this more than once per week
I wrote this in a couple of hours when I was bored.
It is super hacky, but my friends have told me that IT WORKS! This is a sure way to get your next promotion.
The way it works...
- Gather a list of your LinkedIn contacts (only on 1st run)
- Go to each LinkedIn contacts' profile, and endorse their highest rated skill (the first in the list).
- If you've already endorsed their number one skill, the robot will endorse the next highest. Repeat until there's nothing left.
In main.js, replace [[LINKEDIN_USER_HERE]] and [[LINKEDIN_PASS_HERE]] with your details. Be careful not to commit them to Github or anywhere else.
./bin/phantomjs main.js
(wow so easy)
- Premium accounts cause the app to crash for some unknown reason. You need to remove them manually from
names.json.
- LinkedIn ignores any endorsements you make after you've done more than like 150 in 24 hours. I've heard that spacing your sessions out and manually splitting
names.jsoninto smaller chunks works really well. If you have less than 150 contacts, then great! No worries!
