Python script to turn first and last names of people into relevant email addresses
####Required Fields:
First name
Last Name
####Optional Fields:
Personal Domains
Keywords: non url-based keywords
####Process
The program is designed to combine web crawling with brute-force email generation
With web crawling, a depth of 1-2 is recommended for the given domain URLs With brute-force email generation, the first and last names are used in a string template to generate email addresses from given URLs
The email is then filtered and send to the MX checker and clearbit for final confirmation
Filtering out candidates, in the case where multiple emails are valid, this script will score the results by fullname comparison (levenshtein distance) between the input name and the reverse email search provided by Clearbit.
The result should be a dictionary with email as the key and its edit distance as the value. Lower is better
####TO RUN
echo [firstname] [lastname] {url1}...{urln} {keywords...} | python run.py
the script reads from the stdin
Make sure to export your linkedin username as LINKEDIN_USERNAME, password as LINKEDIN_PASSWORD, and clearbit private key as CLEARBIT_KEY as environmental variables.
