# LinkedIn AI Auto Job Applier 🤖
This is a free, open-source tool that automates job applications on LinkedIn. It runs entirely on your own computer, using your own LinkedIn account. It finds jobs relevant to you, fills in the application questions, tailors your resume to each job's details (required skills, description, about the company, etc.), and applies. Can apply to 100+ jobs in under an hour.

## 🚀 Easy start (recommended)

New here, or not comfortable editing code? Use the built-in control panel. You set everything up in your web browser and run the tool with a button - no editing Python files, no terminal commands.

1. **Install Python once.** Get it from https://www.python.org/downloads/ (on Windows, tick **"Add Python to PATH"** during install). You also need [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome).
2. **Download this project** (green "Code" button → "Download ZIP", then unzip; or clone it).
3. **Double-click the launcher for your system:**
    - **macOS:** `start.command`
    - **Windows:** `start.bat`
    - **Linux:** `start.sh` (run `./start.sh` in a terminal)

The first run sets things up automatically (it may take a minute). After that it's quick.
4. Your browser opens the **control panel** automatically (the exact address, e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:5000`, is shown in the launcher window). Fill in the tabs - **Account, Profile, Search, Filters, Run settings** - and click **Save**.
5. Go to the **Run** tab and click **Start**. A Chrome window opens and begins applying - keep it in the foreground. You can watch progress in the log and click **Stop** any time.

Everything stays on your own computer: your details are saved locally in `user_config.json` (never uploaded), and the control panel is reachable only from this machine. If you prefer the classic setup, the manual steps below still work exactly as before.

## ⚙️ How to install

[![Auto Job Applier setup tutorial video](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9e876187-ed3e-4fbf-bd87-4acc145880a2)](https://youtu.be/f9rdz74e1lM?si=4fRBcte0nuvr6tEH)
Click on above image to watch the tutorial for installation and configuration or use this link https://youtu.be/f9rdz74e1lM (Recommended to watch it in 2x speed)

1. [Python 3.10](https://www.python.org/) or above. Visit https://www.python.org/downloads/ to download and install Python, or for windows you could visit Microsoft Store and search for "Python". **Please make sure Python is added to Path in System Environment Variables**.
2. Install the required Python packages. After Python is installed, open a console/terminal in the project folder and run the command below (it uses [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable) to install everything listed in `requirements.txt`).
  ```
  pip install -r requirements.txt
  ```
3. Download and install latest version of [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome) in it's default location, visit https://www.google.com/chrome to download it's installer.
4. Clone the current git repo or download it as a zip file, url to the latest update https://github.com/GodsScion/Auto_job_applier_linkedIn.
5. (Not needed if you set `auto_manage_driver = True` in `config/settings.py`, which downloads the matching driver for you automatically.) Otherwise, download the [Chrome Driver](https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/) that matches your Google Chrome version and place it where Chrome is installed. Visit https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ to download.
  <br> <br>
  ***OR*** 
  <br> <br>
  If you are using Windows, click on `windows-setup.bat` available in the `/setup` folder, this will install the latest chromedriver automatically.
6. If you have questions or need help setting it up or to talk in general, join the github server: https://discord.gg/fFp7uUzWCY

## 🔧 How to configure
1. Open `personals.py` file in `/config` folder and enter your details like name, phone number, address, etc. Whatever you want to fill in your applications.
2. Open `questions.py` file in `/config` folder and enter your answers for application questions, configure wether you want the bot to pause before submission or pause if it can't answer unknown questions.
3. Open `search.py` file in `/config` folder and enter your search preferences, job filters, configure the bot as per your needs (these settings decide which jobs to apply for or skip).
4. Open `secrets.py` file in `/config` folder and enter your LinkedIn username, password to login and OpenAI API Key for generation of job tailored resumes and cover letters (This entire step is optional). If you do not provide username or password or leave them as default, it will login with saved profile in browser, if failed will ask you to login manually.
5. Open `settings.py` file in `/config` folder to configure settings like keep screen awake, click interval (time to wait between actions), run in background, automatic Chrome-driver management, etc. as per your needs.
6. (Optional) Don't forget to add you default resume in the location you mentioned in `default_resume_path = "all resumes/default/resume.pdf"` given in `/config/questions.py`. If one is not provided, it will use your previous resume submitted in LinkedIn or (In Development) generate custom resume if OpenAI APT key is provided!
7. Run `runAiBot.py` and see the magic happen.
8. To run the local control panel (settings, run controls, and Applied Jobs history), run `app.py` - it prints the address to open (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:5000`, or another port if 5000 is busy).
8. If you have questions or need help setting it up or to talk in general, join the github server: https://discord.gg/fFp7uUzWCY

## 🧑‍💻 Contributor Guidelines
Thank you for your efforts and being a part of the community. All contributions are appreciated no matter how small or big. Once you contribute to the code base, your work will be remembered forever.

NOTE: Only Pull request to `community-version` branch will be accepted. Any other requests will be declined by default, especially to main branch.
Once your code is tested, your changes will be merged to the `main` branch in next cycle.

### Code Guidelines
  #### Functions:
  1. All functions or methods are named lower case and snake case
  2. Must have explanation of their purpose. Write explanation surrounded in `''' Explanation '''` under the definition `def function() -> None:`. Example:
      ```python
      def function() -> None:
        '''
        This function does nothing, it's just an example for explanation placement!
        '''
      ```
  4. The Types `(str, list, int, list[str], int | float)` for the parameters and returns must be given. Example:
      ```python
      def function(param1: str, param2: list[str], param3: int) -> str:
      ```
  5. Putting all that together some valid examples for function or method declarations would be as follows.
      ```python
      def function_name_in_camel_case(parameter1: driver, parameter2: str) -> list[str] | ValueError:
        '''
        This function is an example for code guidelines
        '''
        return [parameter2, parameter2.lower()]
      ```
  6. The hashtag comments on top of functions are optional, which are intended for developers `# Comments for developers`.
      ```python
      # Enter input text function
      def text_input_by_ID(driver: WebDriver, id: str, value: str, time: float=5.0) -> None | Exception:
          '''
          Enters `value` into the input field with the given `id` if found, else throws NotFoundException.
          - `time` is the max time to wait for the element to be found.
          '''
          username_field = WebDriverWait(driver, time).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, id)))
          username_field.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "a")
          username_field.send_keys(value)
      
      ```
   
  #### Variables
  1. All variables must start with lower case, must be in explainable full words. If someone reads the variable name, it should be easy to understand what the variable stores.
  2. All local variables are camel case. Examples:
      ```python
      jobListingsElement = None
      ```
      ```python
      localBufferTime = 5.5
      ```
  3. All global variables are snake case. Example:
      ```
      total_runs = 1
      ```
  4. Mentioning types are optional.
      ```python
      localBufferTime: float | int = 5.5
      ```
  
  #### Configuration variables
  1. All config variables are treated as global variables. They have some extra guidelines.
  2. Must have variable setting explanation, and examples of valid values. Examples:
      ```python
      # Explanation of what this setting will do, and instructions to enter it correctly
      config_variable = "value1"    #  <Valid values examples, and NOTES> "value1", "value2", etc. Don't forget quotes ("")
      ```
      ```python
      # Do you want to randomize the search order for search_terms?
      randomize_search_order = False     # True of False, Note: True or False are case-sensitive
      ```
      ```python
      # Avoid applying to jobs if their required experience is above your current_experience. (Set value as -1 if you want to apply to all ignoring their required experience...)
      current_experience = 5             # Integers > -2 (Ex: -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4...)
      ```
      ```python
      # Search location, this will be filled in "City, state, or zip code" search box. If left empty as "", tool will not fill it.
      search_location = "United States"               # Some valid examples: "", "United States", "India", "Chicago, Illinois, United States", "90001, Los Angeles, California, United States", "Bengaluru, Karnataka, India", etc.

```
  4. Add the config variable in appropriate `/config/file`.
  5. Every config variable must be validated. Go to `/modules/validator.py` and add it over there. Example:
      For config variable `search_location = ""` found in `/config/search.py`, string validation is added in file `/modules/validator.py` under the method `def validate_search()`.
      ```python
      def validate_search() -> None | ValueError | TypeError:
          '''
          Validates all variables in the `/config/search.py` file.
          '''
          check_string(search_location, "search_location")
      ```
