LinkedIn Easy Apply Bot

The bot requires Python 3.10 and is designed to run on Linux (Ubuntu) using a conda virtual environment. To install the necessary dependencies, run the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Before running the bot, you must populate the config.yaml file with your LinkedIn credentials, job search preferences, and file paths.

Important Security Note: After editing your config.yaml, save the file but do not commit it to version control to avoid leaking your credentials.

username: # Insert your username here
password: # Insert your password here
phone_number: #Insert your phone number

positions:
- # positions you want to search for
- # Another position you want to search for

locations:
- # Location you want to search for
- # A second location you want to search in 

salary: #yearly salary requirement 
rate: #hourly rate requirement 

uploads:
 Resume: # PATH TO Resume 
 Cover Letter: # PATH TO cover letter
 Photo: # PATH TO photo

output_filename:
- # PATH TO OUTPUT FILE (default output.csv)

blacklist:
- # Company names you want to ignore

The uploads section in config.yaml allows you to specify paths for files like resumes, cover letters, and photos.

• You can list an unlimited number of files.
• The bot attempts to match the titles of the input boxes on LinkedIn with the keys provided in the uploads section.
• Critical Syntax Rule: When defining keys in the uploads section, do not use dashes (-) in the file_key:file_paths mapping.

uploads:
 Resume: /path/to/resume.pdf
 Cover Letter: /path/to/cover_letter.pdf
 Photo: /path/to/photo.jpg

Once the environment is set up and config.yaml is configured, run the bot from your terminal using the following command:

python3 easyapplybot.py
