The next step of the process uses this data to get information about these founders from their LinkedIn profiles. For the founders we have linkedin URLs for, we will use those. For those we do not have linkedin URLs for, we will do a simple LinkedIn search with their name and accelerator name. The code for this crawler, '''linkedin_founders.py''' can be found:
E:\McNair\Projects\AcceleratorsLinkedIn Crawler\LinkedIn_Crawler\linkedin\linkedin_founders.py
NOTE: Right now, this code needs to run in a virtual environment that contains Python3. This is due to the origins of the project, and this needs to be addressed when we have a lull in the development process. The only virtual environment we have managed to get working is on the Ubuntu machine sitting in the corner of the room.
===Crawling Google for unknown LinkedIn accounts===
For accelerator founders without a recorded LinkedIn profile, a quick google search will most likely get the correct page if the person has a LinkedIn profile. The script to run this process is in the same folder, and is called: goog_linkedin_founders.pyThis file uses the same formatted text file for its queries.
