LinkedIn Automation (Go + Rod)

Browser automation that doesn't trip the bot detector

Features

Restores logged-in sessions from cookies before falling back to env credentials.
Human-paced timings + randomized mouse paths + stealth scripts to dodge anti-bot heuristics.
Searches by keyword and sends connection requests with a custom note.
HTTP API wrapper so the workflow can be triggered from anywhere.

System Design & Architectural Pattern

Use at your own risk. Automating LinkedIn can land you in restriction-land. I built this to learn how the cat-and-mouse with anti-bot systems actually works.

What helps

Cookies first, login second. Move the mouse like a human. Bezier paths, not straight lines. Random delays inside human-plausible ranges. Don't blast. Pace it.

What doesn't

Hardcoded sleep(2). Identical viewport on every run. Headless Chrome with default flags. They check.
