Add time of connection

[yashvoladoddi37]

so i successfully scraped over 50-60 profiles (with extra_profile_data=True) on linkedin couple days ago. yesterday morning i got a notification that does not allow me to login without verifying my identity. now the problem is i need to use a newly created fake account in order to test if my linkedin outreach pipeline works so in order to do that im wondering what I gotta do to remain undetected. any ideas?

[cullenwatson]

what do they need to verify the identity? id say just put a time.sleep() of 5 seconds in between each profile scrape. or even longer if you're fine with it being slower. another idea is try to get the linkedin premium free trial and see if that helps

I ain't got a credit card😭 so that's not an option at all. I'll put a time sleep and see what happens.

Also, any ideas on whether voyager api has endpoints to send retrieve and manage messages? I found paid solutions that do this but no information about voyager endpoints.

In order to send messages using openai api post connection, I'll have to use their voyager endpoints itself. I can't think of any other way.

Any ideas? This project has serious potential if this works well. Could streamline lead generation altogether.

nsandman/linkedin-api@1a7e85c is this something that would help? maybe I could integrate this into the current codebase...thoughts?

[cullenwatson]

yea it's easy, you want to send message to connections?

[yashvoladoddi37]

yeah that would be great. idk how to integrate it here though. stuck. ideas?

[cullenwatson]

can you give a mock function how you would like the code to work? e.g.

something like this or different?
send_message(user_id, message_text)

[yashvoladoddi37]

ideally, everyday the bot should check for newly accepted connections and initiate a message with them. post initiating the message it should also be able to receive the response (if response is detected). or, if no response detected after 24 hours, you generate a message again. is this possible? lmk bro. i just need to know if this is possible without paying for paid apis.

[yashvoladoddi37]

wrote this small code(check drive) for sending messages, through https://linkedin-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#linkedin_api.Linkedin.send_message

is there a way to integrate this into the current codebase, in such a way that the bot sends messages only to newly accepted connections? im tryna think of a way.

[cullenwatson]

@cullenwatson @2btechdev2 @GrimsGreen hi i think linkedin has changed their api response format, im not able to run scrape_staff() function successfully anymore. thoughts?

[cullenwatson]

ah damn lemme check

[cullenwatson]

[yashvoladoddi37]

hey yo, any way to fetch recently added connections? idk what data https://linkedin-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#linkedin_api.Linkedin.get_profile_connections returns. i want to fetch recently added connections daily to check whether the profiles I scraped and sent connection requests to, have accepted my request or not, so I can initialise messages with them to proceed with lead generation through sending personalised messages based on their profile data

[cullenwatson]

it tells us since when you have been connected if you want that data

Ig that works yeah
