Anon is currently in open beta. To get access to start building on Anon’s platform, go to the Anon Console.

​
Introduction

Let’s get you started with some automated integration magic. 🔌🌐

In this example, you’ll use Anon to connect your LinkedIn account and create a post. All in less than 10 minutes!

1

Set up the project and start the application

2

Connect your LinkedIn account

3

Run an automated action

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

  • Node.js
  • Git
  • Google Chrome

You’ll also need an Anon API key. Head to console.anon.com to sign up and get one!

​
Setup

​
Clone the examples repo

git clone https://github.com/anon-dot-com/examples.git

​
Install dependencies

Go to the quickstart and install the dependencies:

cd examples/quickstart
npm install

​
Run the Quickstart

​
1. Start the application

Execute the following command, replacing <API_KEY> with your actual Anon API key:

npm run quickstart <API_KEY>

This command performs three actions:

  1. Starts the backend server on BACKEND_PORT (default 4001)
  2. Launches the frontend server on FRONTEND_PORT (default 4002)
  3. Opens your default web browser to initiate the Anon Link process

​
2. Connect your LinkedIn account

Follow the on-screen instructions in Google Chrome to connect your LinkedIn account using Anon Link.

1

Start the Anon Link process

Your Google Chrome browser should automatically open and start the Anon Link process.

2

Install the Anon Link Chrome Extension

Follow the instructions to install the “Anon Link” Chrome extension.

3

Login to LinkedIn

Log in to LinkedIn when prompted. Once you’ve logged in, the app will detect the session and proceed.

​
3. Run an automated action

Once your account is connected, the script will automatically create a post on LinkedIn using Anon’s Runtime SDK.

You should see the action being performed in the Playwright browser that opens automatically.

Congratulations! You’ve experienced the integration magic end-to-end. 🔌🌐

​
Customization

You just learned how the two steps to using Anon: linking an account and running an action.

In this example, you connected your LinkedIn account and created a post via LinkedIn.createPost.

You can customize the automated action by modifying the action in index.ts.

Other examples are available in the examples repo.
